    1995 GMC Sierra 3500 Extend Cabin Dually - Drop

    Do the 5/7, helpers an use it however you want. It'll still do any job you need it too with in its limits. Worth every penny...

    1999 C3500 CC DRW Build

    The Dr side one has multiple cracks an chunk broken off but still a decent workable base if I ever need a replacement. That's the worst of the damage on the pair though. Before anyone says it, yes I'm aware my truck has the short Dr side fender. I can always make the longer one fit if/when I...

    1999 C3500 CC DRW Build

    Yesterday I noticed a 94 3500 on the local lkq site. It had been out there 6 days but I figured I had to go look an see if I could get lucky an I did! About 3 hrs of my time total and $172. They aren't perfect by any means but just having a spare set is worth way more than that. I got all...

    Yes an yes, the bottom cushion is slightly shorter an the brackets on the seat are alot different. He goes over some of it on his site.

    1999 C3500 CC DRW Build

    I had a few issues with the front seats an those floor vents. I had to remove both vent "covers" at the ends and on the pass side I had to cut a significant portion of it out. I had planned on removing it anyway so no big deal. Whoever put the buckets in this truck did a number on the floor. I...

    1991 C1500 in Florida

    I always take that quick connect/restrictor out in favor of a standard barb. Never noticed any issues from that except it doesn't leak anymore or break off in the manifold.

    Spartan locker

    I have a spartan locker in my C10 an I hate it. It binds in parking lots an pops loud enough that people think you hit their car.

    3/4 Ton of fun - ‘95 Sierra

    The machines can be setup to read different ways. You can adjust the heads on the machines to get a different reading an not actually touch an adjustment on the car. You also cant really compare across two different machines, that might even be two different brands. All you can really go off of...

    Looks too me like they only did toe too. Caster looked better before they touched it as far as being even. Again, not horrible but could still be better.

    1999 C3500 CC DRW Build

    People haul @ss like the cops are after them in the parking lot here. There's so many lifted trucks an giant suvs that if you don't back in you can't see if someone is barreling down the isle before you back out. I started doing it when I had a lease car an then the charger an it's just stuck...

    1” front drop spring OBS extended cab

    No it doesn't if you don't do more than 1 coil. Lots of people trim the springs with no issues. Heating it is what really alters it an makes the ride bad. Also 1" drop springs will generally raise the truck up when replacing 20+ y/o factory springs.

    Man I wish we could make the brakes in these trucks as touchy as some of you are about this subject! :rofl:

    3/4 Ton of fun - ‘95 Sierra

    Looking closer at this an the "after" measurements, do you like how the truck currently drives? I imagine it probably has a slight pull though. I don't remember seeing but did you remove the knockouts from the upper arms? On a lowered truck you can throw the stock alignment specs out the window...
