busy weekend-htechs/sensatracs/spacers/wiper plug (big pix)
finally got my htechs installed this weekend, only took 3 hours with some help from my pops. thank god for an impact wrench! also was able to throw on some 10mm spacers along with some new sensatracs in the rear. after the springs were done i check the mail and there was my new wiper plug. of course i scratched it a bit trying to silicone it in place, but it looks a lot better without the wiper now. and the truck needed a bath too...gets no attention these days, ever since the box!

the plug is from KEYTECHNIQUES here on SL. the springs should settle a bit more, also when i set the e-brake the rear end seems to lift slightly - is that normal? and yeah, my driveway is angled, so that might throw it off too.

The H-Techs do not seem to lower very much? i like the wheels... 17s? your box looks kind of like mine :-)
but i recommend getting the black housing LED tail lights instead of smoking the stock ones. all that does is make your current lighting more dim and its not a good thing when you hit the brakes in the daytime and want people to see you stopping.
box looks nice and clean though.

Yea, the H.Techs provide a modest drop. It is nice and even though. When you release the ebrake, the back end will drop back in.
Looks good without the wiper, that's definitely the way to go.

rolllin' on 18s...htechs are about 1"-1.25" drop after they settle (from what i hear). my next set of tires will be 40s or 45s so that will close the gap a bit.
the smoked tails do concern me, they aren't the brightest during the day, at night they're fine though. i'd like to get the red/clear led tails someday.
the wiper plug is very nice, but there's a slight ring of dirt or something where the rubber grommet was, so i am bummed about that. hoping some cleaner wax will get that out.
thanx for the comments!

not really sure on the percent of tint, but i would guess 50% in the two front, all the rears were factory tint but i put limo over that (they're really dark now) and my windshield is the lightest tint (just wanted to block the deadly sun rays here in the desert)
