    I would be glad to. I have just a set of 3. I'm missing 1 from my right front wheel. $25 for all 3?

    Finally dropped this bad boy. Thanks again rcksqrl for the springs! I'm using stock gabriel stocks and have DJM 4" angled blocks out back. The truck rides fair; nothing I can't get used to. The wheels are 14" in the front and 16"s out back for the time being.

    Here's the stock compared to the belltechs. It's about a 3 1/2 coils cut.

    I lowered the control arm to get them on. I cut up an old slipper and used it as a bump stop (works well so far :lol:)

    Here's the front.

    Then a side shot.

    This was the exact drop I wanted the truck to be. Next is to get some tires for the wheels and get them finally mounted :D
