I completed the zuk coil mod on my truck over the weekend. This got rid of the sag in the back and has a slightly raked look to it. It looks alot better now and I cant wait for this weekend to start on the motor work.

I fixed the drivers side manual hub that was not unlocking and it now turns smoothly and moves all the way to the locked position. Before it would not unlock the cv axle or move all the way to the lock position on the hub face cover. A hub rebuild is definitely in order down the road.

Wow speedwagon86...nice work....looks like the 14's gave you a full 4" boost there. I bet the rear has a really soft ride now. You can always add some front 1.5" spacers from 4x4crawler to neutralize some of that rake if need be. Some people like some rake...some don't. I do myself. ZUK

Im not to sure about how they ride just yet cause the truck is still not running. Im actually pulling the motor out tonight. I like how it sits right now but Im considering putting on BJ spacers and just relaxing the torsion bars back to normal height. The install was very easy with all the information on here and your site. Another set of hands would have come in handy but I think that applies to every job.
