here it is, its only got 91k miles on it right now, has some rust, but get around great. the back needs to come down more and maybe the front more if possible. it has cranked torsions, dont know how much just used a impact on it. then 3 inch blocks in rear, taking out a leaf or 2 soon...

forgot to mention, front and rear bumpstops removed

already did, forgot to mention that, removed front and back bumpstops, and plan to cut off bracket that held the rubber part. i know this could go lower...

Clean truck.

New chrome front bumpers can be had through JBM for $55, as well as chrome grilles at

As for your suspension situation,once a leaf is removed,it'll drop you down some more,or you can also get dearched leaf springs from Belltech.

For wheels,once you get some lower profile rubber on there,you'll get alot lower.

Todd says 60 series for a 14" wheel,but I would compromise and go with a 65 series,since they are 75 stock,and a 60 will rev the crap out of your truck on the highway.

There are TONS of cheap GM 6 bolt rims out there available that fit these trucks that are 16-17". 205/40/17 or 215/45/17 are excellent sizes to go with and will give you a great stance.

Whatever you need for your truck,someone on here will have it or know where to get it.

Oh,by the way,welcome to the Bscene.

thanks, i plan on keeping the black and red look, not a fan of chrome bumpers and grills, i already resprayed mine black, thats why it doesnt match the rest, a new black bumper is 30 bucks, and 2 new fenders are 25 each unpainted... but i think i am just going to do the bumper and not dump a ton of money into this. i want go go as low as i can with out having to notch the frame... i will be taking out 1 maybe 2 leafs. 2 depending on if i want the mono or not and buy new shocks....

the 65 series tire is alot cheaper to they can be bought brand new for about 50 dollars im running 175/65's on the front and 185/65's on the rear when the front was still static i was tucking even with those so you can still go alot lower and in the rear if you don't mind riding like a log wagon you can put those spring pearches about an inch off the ground minis are like women you gotta lay them all down

problem with buying new tires is... the ones that are on the truck are brand new when i got it... so until these wear out, or get traded they will stay on the truck
