Hey bluedog. I think I'm going to call a shop about de-arching my rear leaf springs like m95 did... seems like it would be a lot cheaper than the $800+ total slam kit... plus, I don't think the front end needs to come down any further. I alread scrape my knuckes on the fender wells when I wash those 18s.

That would be an interesting idea. Keep me informed if you find a way for it to be done. Much apprec.

JT,
You had me going....you dog! Is that how the front is lowered too?

By the way, I see you have a side rear exit pipe on your Titan. Does it exit on both sides? If so, is it custom, mandrel bent?

This is how I lower the rear of my truck. However, the 9,000lbs tagging along might make your street truck a little slow. :)

Is that at Buffalo Bill's? That roller coaster sure looks familiar!

It's the Gibson Dual Extreme cat back system. I love the sound...

That is real nice! I could not find anyone around here in Phx that sells the Gibson. I could have ordered them and then try to find someone who would install and warranty them.....so I went with the Magnaflow. I really like their sound also. But they are rear exit duals, and I prefer the side exit much more. Yours looks just exactly like what I wanted to end up with.

This picture kills me. I mean, it looks like your Titan is in pain Dale.

Anyone know how much it'd cost to get an extra leaf added to your leaf springs?

Indeed! We tried to go to Dumont over President's Day weekend but got totally rained out. So, instead of turning around and driving all the way home we decided to head to State Line for the weekend. Turned out real nice. I'm not a roller coaster person but my wife went on it like 5 times. :)

Jet,
That looks my exhaust except mine's a Flowmaster with the Gibson tips. Didn't want the wimpy sound of the Gibson! :roflmao:

JK. I've never heard one so I can't comment!
