    Which style lift to choose with airbags and a camper?

    I've got a '93 K1500 with new 285/65/16's mud terrains. Since I'm close to the mtns I'll be using this truck for taking out the dirt bike and gathering wood. The truck came with rear airbags for the slide in camper I bought with it. I only plan on using the camper maybe a week or two out of...

    I live about 10 miles from the mtns and I said I was gonna strip the weight. I'd be using the truck camper maybe 10 days out of the year. I'd be offroad with the motorcycle and gathering wood likely 4 months out of the year. Some added clearance would be nice.

    Thanks for the input! Unfortunately I put the new cap on. I did sand and wire brush as much rust off as I could. She cleaned up pretty good but obviously not internally. As for the GVWR I'm prob 500lbs over. This truck came with rear air bags and a dash controller. I forgot to mention I...

    Just got done putting in the new cap 'n rotor and spark plug wires as it started to snow. Went and ran the same route, maybe 3 miles with quite a few quick stop 'n starts and she didn't even sputter or cough Going to keep the fuel pressure regulator and gasket kit that's enroute and put it on...

    Thank you.. That's a nice diagram gonna save that in my chevy folder. This truck is growing on me (especially having a newer tundra with 3-4th starting to slip). The original owner kept good records and was a city inspector. Got her for $500 and put $700 into tires and $200 into a stereo and...

    Well swapped the fuel filter and couldn't do the fuel pressure test as I didn't have the right fitting. Just test drove her and she idled better, had a more consistent acceleration and wouldn't back fire UNTIL about 5 minutes or 2 miles or so later! Then she went back to feeling real sluggish...

    I'm not sure if it's fuel pressure problems since it's only impacting the plugs on the passengers side. Doesn't seem to add up. Wondering if the gasket is shot on the TBI perhaps, seems like if I'm in there it'd make sense to replace everything with the costs associated.

    Been watching how to swap out the fuel injection pressure regulator and injectors and it looks fairly easy. If I'm in there already should I replace them along with the gaskets? Looks to be about $160 in parts. Starting the fresh service history today if the snow stays away.

    Both injectors look like they're not running steady. Lot of gas but not even.

    Thanks for the response I'm gonna swap the wires/cap when the snow passes, likely next week. The air breather came like that, and yet it does catch debris lol. You see any other mods done? My first k1500. I like the truck a good bit, this was the truck to have in high school.

    I've got a '93 K1500 I bought in '20. I was after the camper that was on it and the guy said he'd give me a good deal on the truck. He said it had a new rebuilt top end and had been well taken care of. She's got 187k and I've only put about 400 miles on her. I bought some bigger off road tires...
