Wow haven't been on this site in forever - what's up guys.
Anyways yesterday I picked up a DD since my 03 is still taken apart. Saw this on CL and couldn't pass it up(especially not for $1500):
Quick specs as it sits:
4cyl 5spd 2wd
Manual locks, windows, steering, everything.
Bench seat needs some TLC
1 195/70/14, 2 205/70/14s, 1 215/70/14, and the spare is a 185 lol. Very confused tire situation.
Anyways I want to drop the rear to level it out, wondering if flipping the stock hangers is the simplest way to do it? Looks like the belltech 2" rear kit involves removing the rear hanger anyways, so no reason to spend more to get the same effect, right? Or is there something I'm missing.
Unless of course someone makes a drop shack that I can swap with 4 bolts. That would be better.
Thanks!
EDIT: random question of the day. Can you retrofit the later model shift boots with the cup holders onto these trucks?
