    Those would still be 130"+wheelbase, still insanely long by jeep/runner standards

    2003 Silverado Z71 solid axle build

    He sure doesn't however it's pretty simple, WFO kit, stock T case, stock front driveshaft even, small lift blocks in the rear and airbags. I will have some progress to report this weekend, cleared out some side projects to get mine back in the garage. Picked up a K5 Blazer 31 gallon fuel tank...

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    That's because your hands should stay in the same positions during aggressive driving which the paddles are intended for. Cheap cars have stationary paddles, expensive cars have paddles that turn with the wheel which is why you are able to up/down shift in the middle of a turn or...

    2003 Silverado Z71 solid axle build

    Got the rear hangers tacked on, added some plates on the frame to strengthen that are up a little and provide a thicker place to mount a bumper, also got my rear shocks in, F-O-A 14" travel 2.5 smooth bodies.

    2003 Silverado Z71 solid axle build

    Not exactly, it is 13 inches shorter now than it came from the factory, and the rear will be bobbed as well. so more than likely about 20 inches shorter overall length.

    2003 Silverado Z71 solid axle build

    Going to have to move the hanger back some just didn't have time to grind down the factory crossmember, but I might have to back half it anyway due to some frame dimensions over the rear axle and the larger, flipped U bolt plates.

    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    Don't let the naysayers discourage you. Most have never done what they are saying can't be done. I ran 37s on my Silverado for a few years with no problems, wheeled it as well. Only broke 1 CV at a hardcore offroad park in sticky clay. I was running keys and a 3" body lift. It cleared the...

    Airbags for towing?

    I used a Hellwig system on my Silverado, with some modification due to the lift height/suspension travel. Daystar makes these slick floating bottom brackets that allow for full droop on long travel vehicles without damaging the airbag. Then I used airlift spacers to keep it at the correct...

    Well with some help from a buddy we got some very important stuff done while I was on vacation, frame is cut short and new front hangers are located. The final verdict is 13 inches shorter wheelbase from stock. I will be pushing the front axle forward 4 inches so overall it's 9 inches shorter...

    2003 Silverado Z71 solid axle build

    I am cutting everything off the super duty axle, my current 3 link will replace the radius arm design. Radius arms have an inherent bind in the system that does help reduce roll in go-fast and street scenarios but my 3 link with a properly tuned anti-rock will outperform the radius arms on the...
