    Lowering 92 K1500 Z71

    Been a while since I posted here, but I finally lowered my truck a bit... Western Chassis torsion keys, shackles and hangers. The hangers will be going on this week. So right now, it's 3.5" in the front and 2" in the rear, will be 4" in the rear...Also did Belltech Street Performance shocks...

    Long tube header questions

    Thanks for the input everybody. Yeah, I'm sure they'll be a pain to install and make plugs harder to change. Not a huge deal though. Still, how far will long tubes hang down? Would I need a custom tune after installing them?

    Long tube header questions

    Thanks for the reply! Yeah, looked at the Hookers...My only issue with them is that they're almost $100 more than the Patriots. I really want ceramic coated headers since I have done a little dress up under the hood and I like the looks of ceramic coated headers. Maybe I could live with just...

    Long tube header questions

    Hey, so been looking for a while and can't seem to find much that points to a definitive answer on long tubes or shorty headers. I have a 93 K1500, 5.7 TBI, 4l60e. I am planning on doing a cam, heads, intake manifold, ultimate tbi mods, chip, etc... I just lowered the truck as well (2/2...

    Lowering 92 K1500 Z71

    Thanks Low4x4. I found a torsion key for 4-4.5" of drop. Then do shackles and hangers in the rear to get 4" and maybe remove a leaf to get 5". I really appreciate all the info and help. DroppedAsAChild, I'll check his truck out...Thanks!

    Lowering 92 K1500 Z71

    Thats cool. I think the only time the truck goes offroad is when I make a dump run or go to a camp site at the dunes...As long as I'm not hitting bump stops all the time, I think I'll end up going with a 4/6 drop. Doing an exhaust here in a few days...Gonna get wheels and tires for it then it'll...

    Lowering 92 K1500 Z71

    Thanks for the info...And max possible drop up front was more what I was after as far as information. Thanks. I'm not new to lowered vehicles (have 2 bagged vehicles, a Geo Tracker and S10), but I have never dealt with torsion bars... Shortly after posting this thread, I searched in a different...

    Head Units

    Like others have said, depends on what you want out of your head unit. I am running a Pioneer Premier head unit. I've run JVC (wasn't a huge fan), Pioneer (had mostly good luck) and Soundstream (love their products, but for head units, they suck...They're nice but don't feel quality). If I was...

    Lowering 92 K1500 Z71

    Hi, I'm starting to look into lowering my 93 K1500. Can't seem to find alot on lowering them. I've read that drop torsion keys are a good idea, but only get you 1"-2" of drop. How much can you get out of the torsion bars themselves without causing a ton of premature wear? I'm really wanting to...
