Torchreds 01 Silverado

[Torchred]

Bought a new set of tires for for it, 35x12.50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Haven't put a mile on them yet, truck is torn back apart doing ball joints and upper control arms. Really starting not to like the LT1 tips

Threw on some tow mirrors, finally got them wired last night

And some new clear lights for it along with 8000k HIDs

Pretty sure the truck has a 6" kit on it, the keys are turned way down as is. Tires rub a little so probably going up and inch in the front, 2 in the back

Those tires look great! Let me know how they perform. I'm torn between those and Toyo Open Country MT's.

Been enjoying driving it lately, put a new to me factory y pipe with cats. A bit quiet for me, may go from the 40 series to a super 10 here soon.

Been a while since I've been on the forum. Updates on this truck have been just driving it. Changed up the exhaust to flow packs, besides that nothing else.

So I figured out why this thing sits so low in the rear. It's got 4" blocks and it's only a 4.5" lift on the front. Then I noticed shiny black shackles on the springs, look closer and it said belltech, so its got drop shackles. On the hunt for some factory ones now.

gotta love those douches who run drop shackles with lift blocks...

Wish the paint liked good dry.

After saving for years, I was finally able to afford the other half of my lift.. a set of new shackles cost a whopping $46

It's like it hit me today I don't like the carolina lean look as much as I did when I bought the truck. Pic of it now to show how low it is in the back

As of right now, 4.5 bds lift, key turned up another 2" to clear the 35s without rubbing. And 4" blocks with 2" drops shackless

So 6.5+2 basically, hoping it'll be level with factory shackles.
