mmm... pizza. I wish you were in West Long Island. I could use a free pizza. :D I've seen your truck, I thought it looked lowered already. :rolleyes:
 






Where in Florida? I'm in Tallahassee.
 






the pic with it lowered was a chop someone on the board did...i wish it was that easy...

Im all the way down in orlando..somehow i think the drive either way is a little long lol.
 






Magic, I am in Jax. I had some friends help me put blocks on mine. It's really not hard to do, if you know the basic mechanics. Get a jack, ease it up on the axle and raise it slightly, then loosen the bolts on the bottom U hooks. Then raise it the axle some till you get enough room for the blocks. If you do a search on here, I think Blackmagic may have did a write up on it. I usually drive through Orlando every other weekends to get to Tampa. Another thing that may interest you, on the Oct 4-5 in Tampa Fairgounds, there will be a car and truck show there. I am pretty sure there will be some Ex's in the shows. I don't think I will be showing, just sightseeing. I might be there, So if I stay there that weekend, I'll see what I can do to some back in Orlando if time is there.

If one of you guys meets up with andrew make sure to grab a digital camera to see the elusive spindle flip.

Like I said, im gonna be there either way, so if you wanna meet up at the subs place just let me know. It doesnt matter what time either, because I dont have class on friday, so whatever is good for you guys is good for me.
 






yea there a show every friday..but i cant go this weekend, something came up with my girl so oh well maybe next week
