you must be somewhat young....as you get older sleeping on the ground sucks more and more. I tent camped for years during deer season. It'd be so cold that everything in the tent would freeze during the night. If it rained then everything got damp and muddy. We used to have to sit around the...

he went with moog tie rods and bilstein shocks

how about shock part numbers or specs? He wants to get longer shocks while he's doing the tie rods and wants to get something local. Any rancho or monroe specs or part numbers he should look for?

buddy of mine needs to replace his tie rods and I sent him to Nick at NorCal for cognito HD tie rods. I've never done much in the way of front suspension stuff for the most part so it's new to me. I found the write up in the DIY area and my question is does the centerlink have to come out to...

anyone have a picture with 2" wheel spacers running 285 tires? I want to space the rears to line up with the fronts and I'm trying to decide between the 1.5's and 2's.

Got my alignment today. I left the last 2 turns in it and love the stance of the truck. The place I got it aligned was a smaller mom and pop place here in town that cuts a deal if you buy your tires at discount to get their business. I was blown away with the professionalism and work they do. I...

ok guys....thanks. That at least gives me an idea. $400 is too high. He's local so there won't be any shipping thus no hassles for me shipping. I'll just have to pay to have the tires removed from the rims because he only wants the rims. I'll ask $250-$275 and see what he says.....that's with me...

I was reading the boards and ebay and the prices seem to be all over the place. I'll have to clean mine up tomorrow and see just what kinda shape they're in but a ballpark figure would be nice to know. $400ish in good condition??? $100 a rim or is that too high?

Someone is wanting to buy my stock rims.....I have no idea what these go for. Can someone give me a ballpark figure?

how do you check these things for level? I went out and put 2 more turns on the bars. I'm stopping there no matter what. I measured to the center of the fender wells front to back and the back is showing 1" higher than the fronts. I'm going to take it onto a parking lot tomorrow and step back...

this whole poll is TMI :lol: I was just justifying my vote. :D I left out the part where one summer back in my early 20's me and the room mates used the window washing paper towels from a gas station up the road. Every dime saved on things like ass paper and electricity allowed us to buy more...

stock picture....once again on gravel so it's tough to really tell much but this is pretty accurate for how the truck sat. I just always noticed the room in the front fender wells and thought that seemed excessive for stock height.

that's kinda what I was wondering but have never been able to find any stock height measurements. I also measured in a weird spot the first time so it'd be tough to tell for sure. I went to the bottom of the chome on the front bumper right in front of the tires. The bolt on the drivers side was...

it's pretty close to level from what I can tell. I put a level directly on the frame below the doors and it was balls on. That was in the garage on concrete which should be pretty level.

I went 3 full turns on each side last night and that got me 1" exactly. Thinking of doing 3 more tonight and seeing how it looks.

thanks.... I *think* they call it imperial blue metallic. Not positive on that but think I saw that listed as the color somewhere. I originally wanted a white truck because I think white looks great on these trucks. Found this one and thought it was a neat color and not one you see all the...

yeah, I did that both driving forwards and in reverse. It clears now but not by a whole lot. I trimmed the valance and front fender well plastic a little. What worries me is what happens when I pack those tires full of mud? That's why I'm thinking I need to crank those bars a tad more.

In the past I've used magazine pages, newspaper, t-shirts, socks, underwear, and coffee filters. I'm not really that picky about what direction it's coming off the roll. I'm a "wrapper" by nature though. All of them beat having to rub magazine paper together to get it soft enough to do the job.

thanks....I had seen that info a time or two and the upper measurement is kinda confusing to me. Do I measure from the top (frame side) of that frame stop or the bottom ( outboard side) of that stop? Right now there's still quite a bit of room even measuring from the closest point. The lower...
