Looks awesome Ray. Do those wide tires stick pretty good on the street, or does the low profile make them spin easier?

They don't spin bad from a dig compared to the 22s. If anything they spin 1ft and nothing from a roll

Sounds good. I like the look and wanted to start pricing it for future mods possibly.

No I'm in Houston. Lethal performance in Houston a truck/car crew that's been together for 7yrs. We have some of the fastest ranging from 10s-12 sec trucks and cars some fixing to hit 9s. Were not a business like lethal in San Antonio just a bunch of close friends

If u go to any suspension shop and tell them what ur plans are I'm sure they will know what it takes. I paid around 8000.00 including wheels,tires, and everything else to make them fit like relocate leaf springs, fuel cell, tub the bed, cut the rear end and some little bit of more details

I like to do everything my self. The rear end isn't to hard, done it on 9ins before. It just the fuel cell, was it custom made or off the self? For the bed I was already planing to rise the deck and tubing. And why didn't you go with a link setup or a truck arm instead of the leaf spring?

I found this going threw some old pics. I gave up the whole hard core racing with this truck, so the leaf springs were good enough. I still kept the caltacs just incase which helped me get some good 60fts. I do plan on adding some bags in the back later so it might change up.

I do want to raise the deck some to add the old school wood grain in the back but maybe at the end of the year.

What truck you plan on doing this too?

My 03 QC. Future plans are 5.7 twin turbo daily driver, air ride suspension, ladder bars, and probably back half, but need to research if a 20x10 or 20x15 rim would fit. What size are you running?

24x15 with a 4.5" backspace which give me a 10.5" lip. I say go 20x15 that would look sick
