just so you guys know im not a rap fan persay,i used to be bigger into rap early on in hs...im really a country man and i do love classic rock like aerosmith, ac/dc and the like

ik rap doesn't make any sense and most rappers don't actually have that much ability(btw im ANXIOUSLY awaiting to see how good joaquin phoenix's debut album lol), but im just curious how much 'bump' my cheap system will have lol and you can't really judge that by playing "in color" haha

i have heard put on and it's a catchy song...and im not a huge fan of the song but for some reason when im tired and i put on heartless by kanye i instantly get pumped up

 

btw jd, how's the lift coming?? i was gunna throw you a pm but i got to anxious and had to install my head unit and i had a cpl buddies to watch on tv for state wrestling

 

You might be surprised by that song

 

The lift is done!!! Got most everything done yesterday. Today just had to hook up the rear torsion bar drop brackets. I cranked them up just a tad higher than they were too for an additional inch it looks like. Still have to get an alignment and it will be complete! Here is the link to my install thread in the '97+ forums: CLICK HERE

Here is the rake!


And completed:

 

Looks good!! Now all it needs is some new tires to fill up that empty space and you're set!!

 

Lift looks awesome! So how was the install compared to the 07?

 

Install was simple. I think it was easier than the '07 was. Maybe though just because I've had more experience now but I think this trucks suspension was a bit easier to do also. Had no problems anywhere along the way - just took my time, read and re-read the instructions and took it one step at a time. Could've had it all done on Saturday but I didn't want to waste the whole day on it. Only took 1 1/2 hours today to finish it up.

 

Not bad, glad to hear it all went well for ya. I am sure some experience on the 07 probably helped out a lot. I am way more confident now since I have had to tear mine apart a few times now.

So..Ready for that body lift now?

 

So now you getta cruise in it with those little tires for awhile eh

 

YES! I am excited but it'll be a few weeks for that. I have to work the next 2 Saturdays so after that I'll coordinate with the tech at work that is going to help me install it.

Yep - hopefully will be getting my taxes done soon so can order everything to finish it up.

 

Nice work. Was anybody able to stop out and help? It was pretty frickin' cold and windy Saturday, nice to work inside. By the way, you know there are people out there who think just having the rear blocks in would be cool.

 

lol jump n...theres a chevy duramax that i seen for about 3 months straight that i swear had just the rear blocks in that thing was so raked and it had the stock tires on it....it was about the retardedest pickup i have ever seen

 

anyone have any troubles in the area running illegal tint?? i got a quote from the tint shop and he said theres a cop thats busting everyone and he reccomended that i didn''t go illegal....i'd really like to get 15% all the way around i think but i think it may be to dark for backing up?? the only tinted vehicle i had was my cutlass but i have no clue wat % it was but it was hard to see backing up

 

Dang that was a sweet video JD, and yes krohbar those jet skis are sweet I would love one of those.

Well guys, I got a lot more of the audio ordered, made some good progress on the pods as well. I am hoping by next weekend to have them ready for paint. Its looking like late march as the install date so it should be a 2 or 3 day project.

 

I don't know but if you do go past legal and they bust you, be prepared to remove it. I don't think 15 will be that bad though. Factory from Ford is around 17 to 19 I believe.
