Thank God I am done with the reverse lowering of my truck.
For those that haven’t followed along, I purchase another SRT-10 (stupid huh? ~lol) that somewhere in its past was lowered.

So while converting it back to normal, I decided to replace all the front end parts, Lower control arms, upper & lower ball joints, shocks, tie rod ends, freshly powered coated calipers…etc….

The rear end I needed to put the leaf spring from the bottom of the axle and it put it back on top. After learning to buy grade 8 bolts to pop the rotors off, it was a beeze. So simple….
Here is the picture of the results.
Now my time will be spent on repairing the front bumper…

Man, you make me want another one also. stop it.
 
Took the truck to the alignment shop and got it aligned.

Now the next step is to put on the exhaust system. Not sure what the difference between a SC & QC exhaust is. I assume my QC has longer exhaust pipes?

I purchase the Magnaflow exhaust about 6 months ago, but didn’t want to install it until I flipped the leaf spring (reversed lowering). So, now is the time to get that part done. Being from Colorado it’s starting to get cold so I need to get it installed soon.
 
Right! How long is your pipe? :eek:Hahaha

A project well done and very informative for all who have followed the "flipping" journey :p :cool:

What othe exhaust parts will you be replacing ?
Heck it’s even feeling cold here in Florida the last 3 days lol
Damn Global COLDING .. it’s going to be a Ice age again lol
 
Replacing the entire system. From the end of the exhaust manifold to the tailpipes. I had to travel to Wyoming to get the cats, because Colorado now follows the California rules for cats, which doubles the price.
Crooks !
