Bagged by the great Randode
I cannot say enough to Randy and big thanks for his hard work. Took us about 3 days and had to take out the amp and box, otherwise it would have been done a bit sooner. I am running the KYB Toyota Echo front struts with the UA bags, UA bags in the rear, cut the top rear perch, KYB Toyota Echo rear shocks, GC extreme valves, 4 gallon tank and two 700 cfm Viar compressors. I still have to remove the rear axle spacers as I'm rubbing at full dump. Enough typing, here's the pix. And it rides like a dream.

Rear valve mounting

Front valve mounting

Goldlines and KYB's are out

Weight savings

Done!

Nice!! If I lived in AZ, I would have had Randy install the kit on my box. I'm gonna try to install my kit similar to that.

Looks good! Congrats.

Amazingly nice set up. Congrats on having the master do the install for you. If I had it to do over again I'd sit on his doorstep waiting for a chance to have him install mine. Nice clean work. The drop looks sweet.





One word: OSHA. LOL
