What did you do to your Gen3 today?

[02ramboi]

lift spindles, get some of those and you can get another 3"

I already have 4.5 inch lift spindles and 3 inch coil springs for a 7.5 inch lift but I put new leafs in the back and shocks and it lifted the rear up so I want to add another 1-2 inch in the front to kind of level it back out I hate to put coil spacers but I figure one inch wouldn’t be to bad

I also don’t want my steering parts more crazy than they already are I need longer sway bar bushing but I can’t find any for 2wd I found a guy on you tube that made them himself so I might try that to correct my sway bar

i mean you already have the factory suspension 3" further than its supposed to, i havent heard of someone pushing it further, i would think if you are going that far its time to go to custom uppers at the very minimum

Well Michigan Metal works makes UCAs for our trucks. However like Demon said a custom kit might not be a bad road to go down.

Yeah I will have to look into that. This is what my control arms look like now

You really think one more inch will cause bad angles. I wanted to put better arms as well

Your UCA is pushed all the way out. Have you had an alignment since doing the lift?
Mine is pushed all the way back. I know that mine won’t take another inch.

Yeah the day after I installed I went and got it aligned

Wow. you guys are so lucky you have nice trucks.

Just cleaned mine at a car wash, drove it home, had to spray out the bed because the soap didn't get rinsed out, and then doing that gave me water spots. Not to mention my dirt driveway causing it to get immediately dirty again, or how cleaning it just revealed even more paint and body damage to me.

And, apparently, my debadge STILL has ghosting. Horray for a clean truck!

You need to invest in a polisher, that will help your truck look muchc better

Will it fix these scratches? Is that the same as a "cutting compound"?

You will be amazed at what you can fix with a polisher, my moms new car got hit and ran on, and i did this today in 15 mins...

Before

After

The before may not have looked like much, but there were chunks in the paint that you could catch your nail on but you couldnt chip off, with the right compound, equipment and techniques, its smooth as silk and perfectly fixed

 

[rocket]

yup the right disc, tool and technique.......might as well be speaking deustchsland......
