    :dance: That just about sums up my feelings. Went by the shop this evening to help my buddy install my rearend. Got there and to my suprise he was standing there grinning next to my car...........COMPLETE with the rearend, new springs, wheels, and 275/60/15 tires- WHICH FIT LIKE A GLOVE!!!! :clap: Very few times do you get exactly what you want........but this is one time that I did!! :rofl: The tires and wheels look just right to me! AND my stance is GREAT!! The front end might could stand to come down just a bit, but it is sooooooo much better than it was!! Pics are coming tomorrow!! The tires and wheels look PERFECT!! It looks like a totally different car. Talk about a makeover! I can't believe it! I haven't stopped smiling all evening! Gonna go back tomorrow and bleed the rear brakes and then.........TEST DRIVE!!:bananaman I am SOOOOOOO excited!!! Later y'all!! Preston(y)

    Here goes nothing.....

    Okay, having problems here. Just waited about 20 minutes for one pic to load, and it said it was too big. The only computer I have hooked up online is this Dell, which only came with TRIAL versions for programs so I have nothing to re-size pics. Can anybody help?? I dunno what to do........Preston
