Hello all. I’ve been lurking around here for a few weeks now and thought I should take time to introduce myself.
I’m a 51 year old gearhead that has been modifying and customizing everything I own since a very early age. My dad (a mechanic) would spend several hours putting a new bike together only to see it the next day disassembled and being “fixed up†by me.
I still have my first Harley that I bought in 1975 that I designed and fabricated an intake and drive system to install a supercharger on. I recently completed an 8 year project involving chopping, channeling and Hemifying a 34 Ford coupe. During that time I was working a 14/14 schedule offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and had plenty of time to work out in my shop in California.
I now find myself doing design work in Houston on a 4/3 schedule. Since my commute doesn’t afford me a lot of shop time back in Ca. I decided no new projects for a while.
In my temporary relocation to Houston (about 18 months) I found the need to acquire a new vehicle. That’s where you guys come in.
I bought a new black 05 SRT-10 quad cab dealer demo to use while staying here in a small apartment. Even though I’m still living in a hotel as I write this there is an X-metal lowering kit and Magnaflow cat back in the mail right now.
I can’t help it! I gotta fix this thing up!
My first question is for anyone that has a stock QC or a QC with Boomers lowering kit and stock wheels. What are the measurements from top of fender well opening to the ground? Mine appears to have a week spring or something. My measurements are as follows:
Left front 34.5 Right front 35
Left rear 37.5 Right rear 38
Thanks for all the good info and I look forward to future exchanges.
