So i have read the badge vs debadged debate so I'm curious what yall think with the single color chevy champaign. The fender flares will require to either mod the molding or remove all together, I also have the ss rocker guards (previous owner installed) or should I remove it all for a clean look. Also thought about keeping just the ss rocker guards? Thoughts and comments appreciated. Thanks.

Remeber I have 13.5 wide tires with 4.5 inch offset.

After about 40 hours later the lift is on. Only broke 2 bolts, and found out I had a cracked main leaf that broke as we were getting the add a leaf up in. The 4.5 inch offset wheels and wide tires has almost half the tread hanging out of the wheel well, so I put the fender flares up to the wheel well and they really don't help at all lol. I just need to turn the torsion key bolts up some to get it a little closer to level. Pics to follower later.

A quick pic got busy today, I'll get better ones. I definitely need to crank the torsion bars a bit it's about 2 inch difference from the front and rear, plus my 3 point turns are now a 8 point turns since they rub so much - will be fixing it Wednesday and taking off the valance. I'd rather run shackles opposed to hooks and good info on how to mount them would be appreciated. I really don't want to cut fenders but if need be I'll trim as little as possible.

Its been awhile, I've mostly been on dieselplace forum and kinda forgot I had an account here lol. I just stumbled across the fb page and joined. Any who on to the updates.

I had to change out the wheels to a 0 offset, the mt's were -72mm (almost 3 inches) I destroyed 3 hubs in a 6 month time frame.
