Holding out on us....Rear springs look funny compared to stock/z71. Hows the ride with them?

Why do they look funny?
Z71 springs sucked. I hated how rough they ride.
These ride really nice. Rearend feels nicely planted even though i ditched the rear swaybar. Wish i had bought these awhile ago. Nice to have a full spring and no blocks back there.

The truck looks real good HardTrailz! I am glad to see that you had your rear coils replaced. It looks like the truck was really sagging a lot in the rear. I can see that you are running Rancho shocks, or at least they look like Rancho`s. You might want to go for an upgrade with Bilstein 5100s. I have never been happier with new Bilsteins, but my canopy puts severe load/pressure on shocks. Also, I like your rear subwoofer set-up. Nice rig, and keep posting those wicked:Wow1: pics. Cheers, Chilli.

Rear shocks are BDS but all the white body shocks are same but for stickers and boots.
They do need replaced and Bilstein will likely be the replacement.
The subs tuck right in nicely yet are easy to remove. Always been a music person and love a little thump.
Thanks for the kind words!

Found the original truck title and it was a 94 s-10, but that bed was stolen and used on a 98 and the 98's rust bucket of bed is on it now. I got a vin number from the state and one more little inspection and it can be plated. Hoping to take it apart and clean it up and make something at least worth playing wioth for awhile from it. Got $31.50including fees in it so far and trying to see what I can do for $100 total.

Removed the hood stripe and plasti-dip--That stuff blows to remove. Got some brand new rims and tires.
Went to some Black Rhino wheels in 17x9 +12 offset with 35 12.50 17 Fierce Attitude MT.
Treadwright in front of new setup. Neither have weight on them.

That is a nice set-up you have there! I liked the old hood with stripe and black panel.

Snapped some pictures yesterday at our property after deer hunting. Couple seemed pretty decent to me.

I have not been around anywhere as much with the family getting a bit bigger. I need to check in there though.
I love it except for the noise. It is really really drivable. Far more than my old Detroit. Has always locked for me. No scary stuff from it but the occasional pop and tight turns it clicks. I would do it again for the price.
