I am looking to make the truck ride the fine line of un-drivable low, lol. Luckily I have 1.75” spacers with my current wheel setup so a different set of spacers will let me tuck the wheels in for some crisp fender to lip Fitment. The rear is already fit with air shocks, so I’ll get away with lowering the rear and being able to adjust the dampening and save myself from some scrubbing.

Well, whatever you must know how to play the game; $1,100.00 is probably less money & less hassle than bringing the truck back to Calif emissions standards as well...

No offense intended OK [?]

I've learned to be very careful what I buy online especially auto parts; I been burned with getting the wrong parts many times... My advice is to try checking or installing the parts you receive ASAP in order to meet any return time parameter requirements the supplier might have...

My post signature is not far from the truth (for me) and now our truck has been in Hawaii rusting away too Your truck is lucky to have you as its owner; maybe my photo albums might be worth a wrenching look..?

I like your truck especially the red color, keep the pics coming alright
Haha, yeah no offense taken! That total also includes the cost of insuring the truck, which I have to pay up 6 months at a time. Overall it was still cheaper than paying up the ticket, and having to deal with CHP coming and knocking on my door to take possession of the truck.

As for my Michigan registered vehicles, they are registered under a business and considered “work” vehicles. For mail-in purposes I have to have a valid Michigan ID to photocopy and include with my paperwork. I have an established California residence and a California ID as well, but my drivers license and insurance policies are out of Michigan. This has flied with CHP, and my local PD without any issue. Even at the DMV there was no question about the MM being on a Michigan insurance policy. This part might have to do with the fact MI has one of the highest insurance rates in the country as the state is “No-Fault” however.
