reckon i never really captured him wild in his new habitat.
the gravel really is making me consider coughing up the dough to rhino-line the rocker panels & flare lines (just like a factory two-tone) because i can hear them bouncing off the side panels almost every day.

Driving out to my parents' place in the duramax makes me depressed listening to the gravel ping off the doors lmao

[QUOTE=smokinlmm;5517428]How much drop and what kit please sir. She looks great![/QUOTE

I used IHC Suspension out of Texas, had to give my homies some love!
It is the 5/7 drop that is adjustable to 4/6, I made it a 5/6 drop by raising the back up 1" to give a little rake. I'm old school and love the Hot Rod stance! I also used their C Notch kit to give me a bit more room to load up the bed with parts, supplies, tools or whatever I need to throw back there. My only complaint about the Kit they sent were the shocks, they were bottom of the barrel shocks. Just driving down the street and hit a bump and you could hear and feel the truck bouncing off of the bumpers. So I ordered a set of Bell Tech shocks that were a tad taller and a lot firmer, worked like a charm and now it doesn't bottom out!
After the Kit install I took it the local tire dealer who aligned it and told me it was a very simple and very accurate alignment, said to give IHC some Kudos for making quality parts that made the alignment a snap!
Thanks man!

Chad

Default 20th birthday upgrades for the ol girl

Hey guys.. thought I'd share some pics of my girls 20th birthday presents. Re-clearcoat, took off the side molding and added new headlights. She looks better and hopefully can see better. Got some dark gray z71 logos that are gonna go on too. 18th birthday she was given a new 6.0 gm crate motor, new rpm trans with circle D stall. I'll post some interior pics soon. Next year she'll be able to drink 🍻 cheers guys.
I owe you ALL for all the advice and problem solving just by a simple search on here along the way! THANK YOU TO ALL!!!
254000 miles and counting.. love this truck

My '13 suburban dad wagon with a 2F/1R level, Bilstein 5100s at each corner & fresh 275/70-17s on 17x8 Vision Rally 55s with 0 offset. Rides like a whole new vehicle with the Bilsteins & loosing those heavy, hoopty-*** OE 20"s.
