Stock to Street Queen in 3 Months (Pics)

Got my 3rd gen three months ago bone stock and here's how she looks today. Mods include 3" Revtek lift, Bilsteins all around, Jaos 16" wheels w/ 265/75/16 Geolander AT's, Jaos center bar, lights and skid plate, clear turns and corners with superwhites all around, stock fogs for 3rd gen from PP, 20% tint on the front windows, K&N FIPK, Magnaflow muffler. Mods purchased but not yet installed include Addco sway bars and Hayden tranny cooler. Mods to purchase in the near future include electric fan.

Here are the pics:

Looks nice, but the ass end sits way too low, you need to do something about that! Check out www.wheelersoffroad.com they have OME's and some heavy duty springs for the rear that are made to match the revtek spacer, although I am not sure if you can buy them separately, call them and ask I am sure they could help you out.

Bad angle on the pics and the ground isn't even but I do get what you're saying. I definitely want to upgrade the rear springs but the install on the rear spacers and shocks were such a PITA for me that I'm willing to wait a little longer.

Cool

Dude, you got a new front bumper. Sweet! Looks pretty beefy for a Mall Queen.

Now, you HAVE to take that thing off-road!!! You don't buy boxing gloves if you never intend on boxing!!! AB is only 11 days away... I'm sure you can get away for a couple of days.

I geuss I had hoped you were joking about the street queen thing, hahaha.
There is a spacer in there now? What kind? It seems a little low. Also, now is the best time to fix it, aka:before it can rust solid again. It does look nice though!

Lucky bastard, here in MA, every exposed item can and will rust. Looking at the other pics from RevTeks site I figured the back end would be higher than that, I geuss your springs must be worn.
I am surprised by the lack of chrome on there for a street queen, haha, you sure though? Not even a liiiiitle dirt?

Got them from Performance Products and I paid about $300 for the set. Couple of other people on the board have mentioned these in their sigs and I've pm'd all I could find. All have said they make a "world of difference." Should have them on this weekend.
