    5.3 pros and cons.

    Yes rally wheels 15x8 all around. Rear tires are 275 60 15 and fronts are 235 70 15. A 7 inch wheel would be better in the front but a little lip roll on the front fender solved the problem. Belltech flip kit for 6 inches in the back and DJM 2 inch drop spindles in front with cut factory spring...

    5.3 pros and cons.

    Quick question. My 98 is 4.3 and new 4l60e 2wd. I have found a good deal on a 01 tahoe 5.3. Good price cause no title but runs perfect. What all can I use from the tahoe to swap into mine? Can I use my transmission? I know I can do research on all of this and I will but right now I need to know...

    I was thinking about black carpet but wasn't sure how it would work with the grey interior.

    I took my aluminum trim off as it was a little beat up. I suppose if it was polished and done in green that may look good too.

    I've made a few changes after the drop. Removed trim and painted tail gate. Painted door mirrors body color and added wider trim rings to the wheels. What i was thinking was painting the grill factory color. Not the complete grill just the black trim. Its faded where it was black so I was...

    Finished drop, finally

    Didn't know whether or where to start a new post so I will try here. Im thinking of taking off the factory bumpers, which a friend wants, and doing a body color front W/T bumper and a roo pan for the rear. Any input on this? Pros and Cons? Good company someone has purchased from? Thanks yall

    Finished drop, finally

    Prior to the drop i had installed lowering shackles. After the flip was installed I raised the position from 2 inches to 1 inch for tire clearance. That is doing ok but I think I need to raise it back to stock shackle height. But I no longer have the factory shackle. I found these but will they...
