    Anyone running 22x11 & 22x9 US Mags?

    I had Bell Tech and switched over to the React spindles with AZ Pro Performance full Aldan coilover and React suspension setup. Like you mentioned, they restore factory offset. if you're looking for more to get farther away from the fender you could order the stone fab control arms. I am pretty...

    Build of my ‘88 RCSB C1500 owned for 20 years

    Nice build and write-up. Can you confirm that 383 you put in there is a traditional SBC? I have an LS3 ordered for mine and am looking at accessory drive kits including the Holley Mid-mount for LS motors. Your thread is the only one that came up while searching.

    Swap Meet Slam

    I have the same spindles on my setup and it was amazing how much tighter the turning radius was compared to the Belltechs. Truck looks great.

    Coil-overs: QA1 vs ALDAN

    I have mine set for the softest setting all around. It does feel like things have loosened up some over the past six months so once I get the front mounts flipped over the A-arms I will play around some with the settings.

    Greetings from the PNW

    Will be interested to know as well. My emergency brake light dims but does not go out completely when I release the E brake. Not sure if this is a related issue but found this thread while searching for similar problems.

    LS SWAP IN CALIFORNIA

    We shall see. Either way I appreciate the info and hope that is the case. I have read it a couple times but will verify before I spend $9k!!!!! on an E-rod engine. That is crazy money for just a motor but it may be the only way for me to keep the truck passing. The last time I smogged the 5.7 it...

    Leak under passenger side dash

    Just to share my experience, hopefully it helps someone out, my elbow was missing and I was getting water on the passenger floorboard. Took it to a local AC specialty guy who cleaned out the drain both with a pipe cleaner and with compressed air several times but it is still leaking. I have a...

    Leak under passenger side dash

    Good info here. Does anyone know the part number for that little elbow on the firewall? Mine is missing and I can't find it on a parts diagram.

    LS SWAP IN CALIFORNIA

    I think for the E-rod the issues come down to: -The vehicle you are swapping into has to be pre-1996 (OBD1 vs II is the issue there) -has to be a passenger vehicle or light truck with a max GVWR of 5725 -has to allow for all of the components that are part of the certified E.O. E-rod package to...

    LS SWAP IN CALIFORNIA

    I have read the CARB E.O. order several times and from what I have read so far if you can sneak your truck under a 4500 lbs. test weight or 5725 lbs GVWR light duty trucks it will be legal to swap into a truck. I have not weighed mine yet. https://arb.parts/Executive-Order/D-126-32 it is...

    LS SWAP IN CALIFORNIA

    That is the problem. I have found one place that will do an E-rod install but no one that will do a air filter to cat drivetrain swap from a newer donor vehicle.

    LS SWAP IN CALIFORNIA

    Great post and info. Please let us know if you make it to the referee and how it goes. Photos of your install would be great. Do you know of a company that sells the wiring harnesses with the emissions wires?

    LS SWAP IN CALIFORNIA

    I have been researching this for years for various swaps all the back since the infancy of CA smog legal swaps from companies that pioneered this like Jags that Run. Note I said smog legal swaps not just engine swaps which are obviously as old as cars. Couple important points here, the swap not...

    Coil-overs: QA1 vs ALDAN

    Thanks for that feedback. Travis and the crew at Pro Performance confirmed with Aldan that it should be mounted on top of the lower control arm. I'm going to have it swapped to get it right.

    Big 3 cable upgrade crashes into ohm's law

    To further the derailment, I can't get the big 3 guy to respond so maybe he's closed up shop and it's a moot point???

    Coil-overs: QA1 vs ALDAN

    Honestly I don't know but I will ask the crew at AZ Pro-performance about the mounting orientation. I don't have any pics with the box off. Interestingly, if it was installed wrong, after a good alignment the thing tracks as straight as an arrow and the brakes are amazing. Appreciate you guys...

    Coil-overs: QA1 vs ALDAN

    I have had the AZ Pro-performance kit on my truck for about 6 months now. This is Aldan coilovers on all 4 corners, React drop spindles, and their ladder bar setup on the rear. Belltech anti-roll bars front and rear. With sticky Michelin tires all around, the thing literally handles like it's on...
