Yep its long over due but just never got around to it as i have thought about doing a 4G head light conversion. See how the Raffle goes

Great looking truck SLT8! With all that custom work you have in it you could use some custom headlights :********:

 

[TheSatinPumpkin]

Not sure as i lost the desire to make it a track vehicle. Just still a right lane cruiser that i can haul the trash but still get the urge to hole shot if i need too.

it long over due for track time so once i get the new gears broken in and the tune down then i might hit the track up for a few runs "as is"

HP numbers D ?

Very nice slt8 its unbelievable how far that truck has come. Love the sticker on the back low and slow. hahaha slow yea right.

 

[TheSatinPumpkin]

hehee Low and Slow can also be the driver, except when at the buffet then its "Fast Feet" LOL.

 

[Mad Cow]

I bet that thing would be a blast to drive on a track D. I plan on one day buying a RT and turning it into a track Star that I have to bring on a trailer. Very cool.

 

[TexasRammer]

wow, i remember seeing those "before" pics a while back, never knew that was your truck!

 

[The Assassin]

Bump!

 

[Budakane]

That SLT8 is bad ass.....I love my truck, but I love urs more...lol

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

D that truck has gone through alot of changes, everyone better then the last. Its truely never done is it lol.

 

[Mad Cow]

That is one hell of a change. It looked so small when first bought it. I really like the look with the step rails.

 

[Musclemckeester]

Ya it was pretty small compared to where it is today haha. I still want bigger lol. Thanks J.T. I do too but my girls and my wife hates them they complane the step is too small lol. They are use to that wide step I had.

AMP steps my friend! They are almost big enough to sleep on.

A 3" body won't work with the power steps without some frame modification; you might want to keep that in mind. Something to do with where the boards retract conflicts with the frame with a 3". They will work fine with a 1.25" body though.

 

[Mad Cow]

I talked with Zone and I guess they are working on a 3" body lift for our trucks. I second the Amp steps.

Oh that is a good point. Hey what do you think lift wise we need to clear 40's?

One more vote and we are at 70!

Let's see some more pics as there is still time to get alot more votes in

I think it would be close with a 3" body. Short of trying to buy a bigger strut spacer for the front, I don't know what more you could do for lift though. The height really isn't the problem, the width would be. Interco (Super Swampers) has some 38s-40s but narrower width. Don't think they are the best for tread wear though.

I would think wih our setup and 3' body we should beable to clear 40's. I know we could clear 39's.

I was talking with Chuxtrux and they told me I could do a 3' body with the extended AMP steps. But the steps would hang down when they are up because of them being extended. Meybe they are wrong??

They are wrong. It's not bolt-on. They can be modified to work but it's not recommended. The extended just means the steps come out farther down towards the ground, doesn't change how they retract in relation to the frame I don't think.

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

I know D has to have some action vids or shots hint hint wink wint

 

[Musclemckeester]

When I say the width, I mean clearing fenders and bumpers. I don't think rubbing on the upper ball joint would be the problem. I would NEVER put wheel spacers on tires that big either....just really asking for trouble.

 

[Musclemckeester]

From all I've read the bigger the tire mass you get combined with a spacer the worse idea it is. It throws off the geometry of the wheel to the hub and the larger the tire the more stress it causes. I'm just not a fan of spacers unless it's a temporary fix.
