Decided to do it now since I'm already on...so I traded the flares and my BFG R/T because they were wearing down fast with all highway miles and got these babies brand new...

and as a bonus there's no rubbing whatsoever, at full lock, straight on, 45°, nothing. Ride quiet and I sit higher, really gives the truck a mean look too.

Edit: KMAC it appears we posted at the same time lol

 

Thanks! I'll see if they tear up my paint too much, but I like the poke and flares would took them in more than I'd prefer.

Get those pics up then, man! I'm curious to see what you decided to do with them.

 

I guess we did post at the same time, but yessss! I strongly approve of your usage of the flares! Those look really good.

 

Looking good fellas...

 

Changed the master cylinder yesterday, so much of an improvement now. Brake system is now completely redone minus the brake booster. Next is to look at putting on some reverse lights and some PTM emblems

 

Bought a Dual Liner last week and just finished installing it this morning. Everything went together fairly smooth. I'll have to update the body forum to let everyone know if I've found any issues with the new one. Next I'll be looking at an exhaust system.

 

Replaced intake manifold now it runs terrible

 

Did you hook up all the vacuum lines? There's one on the back lower driver side that's a real pain to reach.

Looks great!

Not 100% sure if it is an optical illusion, or maybe something you wanted, but does it have a "West coast lean" to it?

 

All lines connected

 

I installed my new "In God We Trust" edition tags .... .

 

Drove it Sunday for a bit, while in a store some ignorant jerk hit it in the front right fender with their mirror or something causing scuffing to my fender. Hoping the marks buff out. Took it to work and back yesterday also.

 

Thanks! It's not an illusion haha. With the tires and wheels in the bed, it was 2.5" low in the back. It's about an inch low in the back now, but looks much better. I'll do an AAL eventually, because I do like an inch of rake, but it's gonna be low when you lift the front 8" and only give the back 5".

I'll need an alignment, new longer shocks, and time to do an AAL, so it'll be a while before I get around to it. I need 4.88 gears, a new front bumper, and want retrofit headlights and tow mirrors before the AAL. All in that order haha

 

Quite a list you got there, gonna take some time to get all that done but mine is just as long lol

 

Priced up the goodies to "finish" my truck the way I want it... Cost is close to low book value on the truck.. Sheesh.
