Re: johnboy's thread

It won't work worth a **** with it crooked. The short story is for it to be safe you need to raise the steering the same amount you raised the control arms. And yes, this means notching the frame for the steering.

Re: johnboy's thread

Just my opinion, but I like the first set. The second set look like they belong on some football players otherwise-stock Escalade. Too much bling for me. Besides, you don't need 22 inch hoops to prove you know what you're doing. Your damn truck is already railin'!

Very seldom is a thread like this is deleted, I think is was a bad decision to remove the already posted pics....A new thread will not have the help and comments from the other posters....

All you had to do is file a link to this thread then return and add to it when you started back to work....

Good Luck with your build
