Im back on the ground!!! New front suspension - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

c10seconds · 12-02-2010, 09:45 PM

I have been working on the front brakes for several months trying to put together something that works.

Heres whats new:

CPP 1.25 sway bar
CPP upper/lower arms
CPP 2" modular spindles
CPP Hubs
14" drilled/slotted Wilwood rotors & hats
Wilwood W6A calipers (red)
Custom CNC billet caliper brackets
Porterbuilt shock relocaters & kyb shocks
Slam Specialties 7 bags

After Christmas will be PB 1" dropmember!

Also trying to decide on going with a black or chrome center on the wheels

tonypaul · 12-02-2010, 09:52 PM

I like the black wheels!!!!! Great looking truck!!!

gsxrdoug · 12-02-2010, 09:52 PM

Very nice, I like the black rims. But overall great stance.

gsxrdoug · 12-02-2010, 09:56 PM

Or to be that guy!!! you could leave the driver side black and the passenger side chrome, two looks one truck.

72BlckButy · 12-02-2010, 10:00 PM

Lookin' good!

c10seconds · 12-02-2010, 10:58 PM

looks great, the black really pops with these style of wheel, that's my vote, looks good as is though

AustinScott · 12-02-2010, 11:18 PM

model
offset

BLACK FTW!!!

your ride looks sweet with black rims!

oldblue1968chevy · 12-02-2010, 11:23 PM

Black!

Def. nice stance

**N2TRUX** · 12-02-2010, 11:43 PM

I'm not a huge fan of all blacked out look, but the black centers look much better.

19seventeeCustom · 12-02-2010, 11:53 PM

black looks much better!! I think the wheels look at little too "busy" unpainted, black really hides that.

I agree 100%. I also think the stance is perfect as is. I think the 1" pb dm would only be nice if you go lower in the rear too.

Hottrucks · 12-03-2010, 12:04 AM

Kool truck and stance but as far as wheels I would be thinking somethnig like a raw aluminum color

**N2TRUX** · 12-03-2010, 12:10 AM

BTW- Whats the tire/wheel specs? Brand, size, backspace and tire info would be nice.

BP68 · 12-03-2010, 12:11 AM

I usually choose chrome, but black on black works on that truck. Can't really go wrong either way.

gkesseru · 12-03-2010, 12:13 AM

Looks great. I like the letters shaved off the hood.
I just had a couple ideas:
Would look good with a shaved cowl.
How about having just the outside part of the headlight bezels shiny? It would better balance with the shiny grill surround.

djw32 · 12-03-2010, 01:50 AM

I would rock the chrome wheels. Your truck looks great.

Did you have any trouble with the Cpp upper and lower ares with the RE7 bags?

chevy truck crazy · 12-03-2010, 02:02 AM

Sick truck I love it.. Did you have the wheels powder coated or painted? I very interested and maybe if ya would not mind posting an up close pict of the wheels. Im just curious who the mere masked of or how ever they were done.. thank sweet ride..

c10seconds · 12-03-2010, 02:49 AM

The wheels are GFG trento 5
22x12 rear w/ 315/30/22
22x9 front w/ 265/30/22

Being 3 piece rims the center unbolts making it easy to paint or powder coat. I had them painted till i decide what looks better. I also like the raw aluminum finish alot.

The bags in these arms are not a very good fit. Ill probably go with porterbuilt arms when i do the dropmember.

Thanks for the compliments!

I'm really interested in going with some 22's on my truck. I'm not bagging it just 2.5 in the front with 4 in the back witha static drop. But I'm concerned about clearance and rubbing. can you give me some insight on this. I'm actually going with the foose black nitrous rims. I considered the Level 1 ART kit, but I dont want to re-fab my bed, c-notch my frame or lose my fenders, so I decided to static drop. But i just dont know if it ill work. Let me know!!! I love the look!!!!

cooter472 · 03-01-2011, 11:24 AM

Who did the sheet metal and body work, looks like a mirror. Awsome truck!
