Awesome

made2drag · 01-01-2017, 11:20 AM

in one of the pics it looks like youre riding bumpstops in front. Have you chopped them down or are you leaving them in ?

"Got an alignment and the tires balanced, but I think it needs new tires, something is still shaking. "

Could be the pinion angle where the driveshaft meets the rearend. If it is smooth until like 45-55 mph than I have found that the pinion angle is slightly off and you can buy shims at an auto parts store to shim and correct the angle. 2 degrees will make a difference. If your tires are not the problem, try the shims.

the truck looks awesome with that stance!

I've left them in. It doesn't ride too harsh, and I'm worried if I remove them I'll have even more rubbing issues. I'm been thinking about bagging it.

Thank you. It would shake before I lowered it, so I don't think that is the problem.

Here's a couple of more recent pictures.

I just got my Ingenuity Fab and Speed tranny cross member! Super excited.

Also got my windshield and solid back glass installed.

rusty76 · 04-02-2018, 04:37 PM

I like the tranny cross member. That’s pretty darn nice. I’ll need to look into one of those in the foreseeable future.

Nice truck..Along for the ride

It’s good quality! I’m a welder by trade and I have no issues with it. I wish I had the tools at home to build the stuff myself!

Red Beard, I love the stance!!

Looks like you're running 8" rally's with 235/75 tires? If so, any rubbing issues with tires. I saw the issue with the wheel and lower control arm.

Thanks Mike

Yeah it actually rubs pretty bad in the front. Parking lots are a pain. Bags are the plan right now.

**Dads79GMC** · 04-04-2018, 01:58 PM

Thanks Red Beard

Red Beard · 04-08-2018, 08:54 PM

Finally fixed my sagging headliner.. WITH SUEDE! FANCY! Haha. I picked up this material back in October and finally got around to it, while I had everything out doing the glass. Also, picked up one of those fancy clear dome light lenses and LED bulb from LMC, because the original stuff was all melted.

**Dads79GMC** · 04-08-2018, 09:03 PM

Suede fancy!

What did you use for adhesive? I have some perforated, foam backed vinyl to install on an ABS plastic headliner. Thanks Mike

I used 3M Super 77 spray adhesive.

**Dads79GMC** · 04-08-2018, 09:08 PM

Excellent! Thanks

StorminNorman · 04-09-2018, 12:33 AM

Dang. That lowered longbox looks like a cruise missile sittin there. Nice

LT7A · 04-14-2018, 10:26 PM

Good progress man. You're killing me though that the front suspension now consists of compression of the bump stop. You could just pull the springs out and set them aside to save weight, haha. I like how the truck sits but I don't think it would look bad at all if you went back up an inch in front and two in the rear. But you said you are thinking about bagging it, so if going low is the point then the rubbing and bumping is part of the game. That wasn't supposed to sound dirty BTW, ha. Anyway, nice work, I've always liked this color combo.

Red Beard · 03-25-2019, 03:18 PM

The issue I'm running into now is the carrier bearing in now lower than both my transmission and my axle and causing some weird angles. I don't know whether to raise the carrier or switch to a one-piece driveshaft.

Nice truck... well it was until you lowered it :/
Hard to find these days with Electric Doors Boy I'd would of kept it as is.

Well-handled.

Tsoptich83 · 04-24-2019, 12:28 AM

Nice long bed. Stance is exactly what I'm looking for. Did you change out the drive shaft or raise the carrier support?
