level or intake

[moparman33]

sorry guys who said intake. im gonna go ahead and level it out. ive done some work on the truck so far. debadged (**thanks to rubberfrog's video and diy**), put black out covers on the tails, painted the head lights to color match the body color, just installed blue leds in the front and rear floor boards, and ordered blue leds to convert my gauge dome and hvac lights tonight. so that'll be done probably by the end of the week. ill post some pics along the way and once i have the level kit installed

ur right slt8. i was just tryin to figure out a startin point. sooo many choices not enough funds, the story of my life.

heres 2 pics of what the floor boards look like after 2 hrs of findin out the length of wire needed, soldering, etc, etc. i have them hooked up to my dome light so they only come on when its on. didnt want them to be distractive or annoying

If you havent bought the keys yet then save your coin and just crank the t bars. I had keys on my 04 and the 05 is just cranked. Put that $100 towards the intake. Measure from the ground to the center of the fender on the front and the back. Put the front of the truck on jack stands with the tires completly off the ground. Go to where the Tbar bolts are and soak the threads in wd40, I think its a 17, 19 or 21 mm socket (Can not remember at the second) and mark it with a straight line. Crank the bolts in 4 turns a peice then sit back on the ground, bounce the front end and measure it. Normaly 2" will level or reduce the raked look.

No problem, 4 turns will get you started then go from there. The driver side normaly takes another quarter over the pass side.

10-4 after you get the height right you will need an alignment. On cranking the keys on the wifes 05 she did not need longer shocks, when I did keys on my 04 I did need longer shocks. If you do 2" or less you will be good to go.
