Thanks, I have always been in the mind set 2wds go down and 4wds go up, now with that said I am not into low riders setting on the ground or 4wds that set so high you need a ladder to get into them.. lol

I guess acouple inches down or acouple inches up..lol

And this wheel and tire thing is driving me crazy I should have had them back in August, if all goes as planned I will have them before Christmas.

Yeah. Then again, if you drop a 4x4, all you get is a much more impressive launch, grip, and stability.

Imo, lower either, or front/rear level. Leave the lifts to the dedicated offroad stuff.

And damn. But I feel you on slow builds. Struggling to keep any sort of bank account balance.... Truck wants so much, and is starting to need **** now, too.

I had a 06 Z71 I ran dropped about 3" for 75k, then I leveled it up and ran 33s on it, was like getting a new truck.

69GWC · Dec 5, 2017

Installed the Sport grill inserts, needed alittle bit of chrome up front.

69GWC · Feb 10, 2018

Finally got my wheels and tires.

XD Badlands 18x9s with 35x12.5x18s General Grabber X3s
Offset is -12mm, and at full turn they do rub alittle when backing up and flexing the truck alittle bit.

Next big step for the truck will be a set of RBP SS step bars.

Cool. I, myself just did a split level. 1" front spacers + 1.5"{advertised 2", but none can do it} rear shackles. Makes the truck look perfectly level, just not high or low. Or missing a critical suspension component[overload spring].

Can't wait to see what those steps look like on your rig. I'm gonna go for those AMP PowerStep thingies. Coolest thing I've seen for truck accessibility.

69GWC · Feb 11, 2018

Yeah those AMP steps are badass but cant bring myself to drop that much on them.
These RBP steps are way to much but I really like how there are no hoops to get caught on anything, just nice and smooth lines.

Looks good

Well have done a few things to the truck since I posted last.

1. added the ladder rack/ light bar to the camper shell.

2. Installed a Mag-Hytek rear end cover and dropped in Redline 75/140 gear oil.

3. Installed a DeeZee 5 drawer tool box and will install a Swing Case on the other side.

I also put a filter mag on the oil filter and at my next oil change will do a remote filter mount.

69GWC · May 19, 2018

Still have yet to get my RBP side steps.

69GWC · Sep 3, 2019

Been awhile but thought I would update the few changes I have made.

Added some lighting , installed a set of SS N-Fab steps, and cleaned up the rear end put my rear spacers back in and installed a new Spohn panhard bar.
Also bought a new camper..lol

Trucks been good to me so it's not going anywhere yet..lol

JB1 · Sep 4, 2019

When I recover from all the money I spent this last month I want to buy a set/all new core control arms for the back, heard you might have them.

My receiver hitch was dropped off today and I just ordered Husky liners weatherbeaters front and back, Ram molded splash guards ,door sill guards and am going to make a appointment to get my windows tinted tomorrow.

Next month will be a set of bills set at 2.8 and Tufftruck heavy duty rear springs.
Then in the spring a set of Chrome XD Bandland rims 18x9 +18mm with 285x65x18 BF -ATs.

Also a ATC topper to keep everything dry. I have seen someone post a swing out tool box and wondered if anyone knew of a good place to buy them, or the name brand of them. thanks

going to debadge it this weekend as well.

Busting out the bucks its a sickness, we all get and the wives hate it :banana-mario:

Well it's started..lol
