What did you torque your ubolts to, did you have any trouble, I sure did, stripped two kits.

 

are those shaved or painted white walls?

 

I think there shaved white walls. Looking good man keep it up.

 

welll the instructions said 75-85ft-tq. we went with 80. didnt have a single problem other than the threads were too long with the mono-leaf so we had to shave some of them off. and none of the white walls are shaved or painted except one which is shaved. they all came like that. just one we chose to try and see how far we could go with it.

Thanx

 

alright, well i got some rims last night. they're only 15's but they dont have a clear coat so i can shine em like crazy. only paid $120 for them and they came with all the lug nuts and the center caps.



then today dad dad i got the rest of the white walls shaved. and we got the plated area sprayed with undercoating.




we also messed with the torsion bars and lowered the front. the mudflaps are a little over an inch from the ground. i love where it sits right now.



with the rims setting beside it


beside dad's truck. mine looks tiny!

finished product. sorry its so blurry.

beside my brother's. much more even

still got some stuff to do but they'll have to wait till winter's over. I'll be polishing the rims all winter tho.tires are a ways down the road too. want to paint my stock rims and lug nuts but that'll wait till spring. then gonna get some bubble mirrors. then to save up so i can get bags. things are looking great.

 

Wow, it looks great! Nice work. Only my back two tires match or I'd shave my whitewalls as well

Ugh, I wish it wasn't winter so I could work on my truck! I got it stuck in the snow today three times!

 

I like it with the steel wheels. The wide white walls make them look right at home

 

love the look of the tires man. You and your brothers truck are looks good. Keep it up guys.

 

zip tie on the timing gear is bad ass, im so stealing that

x2 for the oil pump spline gear on correctly when you took it apart. only about half the threads on the spline actually engage, and if it was i dont think it would hurt anything, maybe strip the splines or "self clearance" something.


diggin the whitewalls

 

those white walls are looking so Dope!!

what did you guys use to shave those? DA with what disk?

 

maybe get a couple more side shots or 3/4 view shots...so we can check out the white walls...thanks

 

will do.

 

any luck on getting a few more shotz?

 

yeah sorry bout that. it's getting cold up here. and school/homework doesnt help either. i'll try to get some more tomorrow if we don't have school.


here ya go. dad took it for a drive the other day and found that we have it low enough that the mudflaps are dragging on low areas and around turns. lol

 

what did you guys do to lower your truck? just torsions and blocks?

 

yeah and it still takes some weight before it hits the frame too.

 

just blocks n rear? 4"?

 

looks like its snowin in those pics!

where are you tail lights? lol

 

They are so clear, you can't see them.

 

haha yeah we just got like 4 or 5 inches in a day a few days after this pic and i heard supposed to get more thought i may be wrong. actually for the drop, they're only 3" blocks and a mono-leaf. as for the lights... i didn't have it completely together then. they were sitting in the backseat cuz i didnt have the wires back where they were supposed to be. heck, there, i didnt have the bed even bolted down.
