Test fitted the heat shield. Now need to finish the torque strap mount and put the supercharger back in. Still can't drive.:rant:

Fixed the heater controls, pulled the stereo fascia out for some repair.
Put a few miles on the truck, put a smile on my face.
Lost ebay bid for an Ultimate chip, 50lb injectors and a 3bar map.....hopefully to one of you guys

Reason wheel looks like that is because the truck is layed out on 2x4's and the gate is already sanded out

opened my garage door to see my drivers side fog light is GONE!!!! bracket and all. wires dont look like they were cut but definitely more so broken or snapped. :squint:
then i went on to do a piss poor job of tinting my back glass 20%. looks good from 5+ feet. nice streakiness on the inside between the tint and glass. :tdown:

Thought I was done with the front coilover suspension, and F-body brake install.....but after I put the wheels on and got it back on the gorund...it's too low. So, now I gotta attempt to use my little coilover tool to make adjustments with very little room...or remove the shocks and do it the easy way in the vice. Not looking forward to dealing with all those washers again, I'll be sure to measure all and get the correct spacers.
Any recommendations on what length the QA1 coilover shock should be?
I forgot I needed to re-tap the holes for the sway bay too. So, I'll give that a try when I get the wheels off again.

Sorry for crappy iPhone pic
Quick question, it looks like the upper arms are on upside down/wrong side. I think the the are supposed to angle up, not down. I would have to look at mine but mine go up I think. Maybe mine are wrong.

Did a quick search and it looks like you have them upside down/wrong side.

Ok so I looked at Viciousv6 post and the ironic part is this is ViciousV6 coilover setup off his truck after the roller was parted out by a different owner. I was going to wait till tomm to check it out but when laying in bed I could take it anymore and I decide to come and compare the two pics and you guys were right thanks Danen and Sean. So after getting up I decided to tear into and fix it. So Danen does this look correct now?
And do u guys recommend any specific grease when greasing ur ball joints

That looks correct. I cant see anything else that is off.
I'm surprised that it bolted up like that. Happy to help out, but now I wonder if it wouldn't have been able to be driven like that?? I think you may have found a quick fix for the crazy ball joint angle when lowered. Haha j/k

I would just take them out. I had the same problem, but mine had to have the 1" spacer installed. I cranked on them as hard as I could with the small tool, and it just gets to hard to turn/ keep from slipping off. As well as making sure both right/left are equally sprung.
But you might try first and see what you think. Mine had to come off.
