got 'em on there. I'm going to trim some on the valance here in a few minutes. I could probably get away with not cranking them anymore but I might go up another half inch to an inch. I have an appointment friday to get it aligned. If I do go up with the bars and get it aligned but don't get the...

I really appreciate the offer....let me see where I end up with the tires and finding blocks local if I have to. That's really going a little different direction for me. I only want to clear the tires for the time being until I figure out what I'm doing lift wise so I'm gonna try to keep from...

think any local parts stores would carry the 1" blocks? Actually, there's a 4x4 place in Columbus I bet that has them. It's on my way to the tire place. Maybe I'll swing in and get the blocks there.

I'll need to order blocks and shock extenders then. Maybe I can get by for a week like this until I can order those things.....looks like 2 alignments for me. :D I guess I could always tool around on the stock tires without the alignment until that stuff came in or have a 1" rake to the rear.

3 full turns gave me 1".....does that sound about right? I put a level on the frame and it's balls on front to back both sides...is that the proper way to check the truck for level? Looks like I'm off a little less than 5/16" side to side (drivers side is higher). Big deal? Doesn't bother me...

here's something that bothers me. I went yesterday to the local Discount tire and had them price out this exact same combo.....$1666. I then decided that I was going to settle for a cheaper tire. Pep boys carries a Definity Dakota which is made by Cooper so I went there and looked at those $133...

I've ran kuhmo's on the front of my firebird, my gto, our old gtp, blazer, and my old truck. I've always had a good experience with them. Hopefully these hold up just as well but this truck is considerably heavier than anything we've owned so far. I'll definitely update at some point with my...

ordered these today....should have them here tomorrow or the next day. Kuhmo mt kl71tires 16x8 unique rims nothing spectacular really but good enough for me.

well, looks like I might not be heading out that way. He was sold out and said he wouldn't be getting any more in. He did have a couple tires that were priced really well, Federal Couragia ($147) and Maxxis Buckshot($165). I've heard of the Maxxis tire but don't know anyone that's ran them and...

I'm going to call tomorrow and set up an appointment to go get new tires. I'm going to a 285 on the stock rims for the time being so I'm going to need to crank my bars. I'll need an alignment done and would like to do the alignment with the new tires on there. The problem.....the tire place is a...

Yeah, I'm well aware of that circle......I have $10-12k worth of parts on an $8k car. :D I actually do have plans for gauges but in the grand scheme of things they're pretty cheap. Everything I've read and been told is that the stock LBZ intake works fine and not to upgrade it. I was going to...

I would think the EGT's would drop just by removing the cat and muffler. Realistically I'm not going to push the truck powerwise much. I'm actually pretty happy with it stock. The power is fine for what I do and I'm a huge fan of the dependability. I already have 1 vehicle to worry about puking...

I've been looking at exhausts and I finally got my old truck sold so it's time to do some mods. I've been looking at a 4" straight piped exhaust but I can't help but ponder just yanking the cat and muffler off the stock 3.5" and calling it good enough. It would be way cheaper to do that and...

I painted mine on my car black several winters ago as a winter project to keep me busy when it's too cold to drive it. I pulled it from the headers back and took a wire wheel on a drill and cleaned/stripped it all down and painted it black with red clamps to match some of the other stuff. Love...

that's not very far from where I'm at. I'm in Lancaster which is about 15 minutes from Somerset. I've looked at these pics a few times now and my favorite by far is the cooler in the back of the truck with no tailgate. How do you not slide that out of the back? Is it tied down or does the...

I haven't even looked at the fuse panel on the new truck but most have an aux and a batt. spot open. A 1/4" blade connector fits in there. That's how I wired my cutout and wideband on the car....just used those 2 spots.

that's hilarious. :lol:

I blew out a brake line in my old truck last year. Bought a double flare kit and I'll admit it drove me crazy trying to figure out how to make good double flares. I finally got the hang of it though.....it was all in the length of tubing I had sticking out for the first flare. Once I got that...

these are common in the f-body world. I run a McCord power plate on mine. McCord sells the plate, wiring, and switch for $130. You then just buy the actual cutout through summit or someone for ~$30. It's the best mod I've done on my f-body. Nothing like sitting at a light and having some 4...

that's what I'm talking about.....I'd love to find that deal. I'm gonna hold out a while and see what Sears does. They run that stuff on sale pretty regularly.
