    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.

Still up in the air with the green wheels. Going to try and do a recessed tonneau cover also. Gonna...

    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.

    Going to go green with the door handles also. Tailgate handle plastic trim also. Never thought of the wheels green. Interesting.

    Was that question for me or HotWheelsBurban? But, what do you mean by painting the tailgate?

    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...

    Thanks for the kind words. I lost my dad in 2011 but loosing mom was really hard. Working has helped a lot.b

    Finished drop, finally

    Yes worth the money. Believe it or not mine were original shocks and were completely shot as you can imagine. They seemed a little stiff at first but compared to no shock at all that was expected. Ive put about 200 miles on the setup in the last day and a half and am very pleased with them. In...

    Finished drop, finally

    thanks so much for all the positive comments. I have been planning for quite some time but have been on hold and making sure I had everything in my head and ordered parts as I could. I had most everything here but to be honest I just couldnt do it at the time. My wife and I have been caring...

    overlook the dirt and grease and fingerprints. The drop is finally done. What a beast of a job especially working on gravel. Still have work to finish but the hard part is done.

    Drop shocks or shock extenders?

    Good luck finding the upper relocation kit. B/T said covid had shut down their supplier and dont know when they will receive more. Im continuing with the lower extenders alone.
