    Did you have undersized tires before?

    Here is a calculator:

    Tire Diameter And Circumference Calculator

    Stock tires are 195/75r14

    Mine for reference are 235/30r20

    0.035 of an inch larger in diameter than stock...not even noticeable by the human eye.

    The tire size was correct and stock before. I have noticed a difference in the way the truck accelerates and decelerates is all I am saying.

    I bought my spindles from stillen.com. Pretty good deal combined with shipping compared to other places.

    Glad to here you got some money coming in again. You were on a nice roll with your truck. I think it looks damn good as it sits though.

    DA Roach- Thanks man! It is cosmetically pretty cherry now. Now I just need to get the suspension down so I can take some twisties in the moutains this summer!


    Joey- I work for Advanced Auto Parts, So for the full Moog product line up as mentioned earlier it is close to 350 and then extra for the drop goodies like spindals etc. So round 50% savings. That is the only reason I am able to do the work, is because the suspension parts are cheap.



    Guessing my spindals should be here round friday from Summit. After spindals I'll still need the energy suspension bushing kits, Rear drop leafs, street shocks. Later down the line I want to add the sway bars and do some vented cross drilled rotors.



    In addition to all that I have been slowly working on my sr5 cluster. pics of that to come
