so tyler if i understand you right. with only a 3" drop you dont need shims but if you have a 4" drop you need a 3* shim? doesnt seem right, but then again i dont know much bout all the pinion angle stuff.

The thing you need to remember is our 2wd drive trucks are substantially lower than 4wd trucks too-the angle on those has to be dealt with accordingly though. In reality, our drop is like 3/4''up front and 1.5'' in the rear lol the kit doesnt even move them much

Hey whats up yall? My name is Mikey and i got an 04 gmc rst red. I've been through alot of **** with regency and they suck!! I've had my rear spoiler replaced like five times and half of them was the shity dealership work and i got new set of strips. Last winter i put a cam, roller rockers, ported and polished the heads and put a ds1c procharger supercharger on it. It made 480rwhp and 460 rwtrq. @12 psi. me and my buddy levi over looked a few things and had some bearing failure. now i just put a stock 6.0 in it and when i get the money in a bit i'll build the 6.0 to handle my supercharger and i'm buying my buddies t56 to put in it. i made some traction bars for my truck which made a world of difference. i like yalls idea with the center consule. I'm looking into using that front port on the t56 so i can use my stock shifter location. yall heard of anyone trying that yet?

the front port is still back farther than the stock hole. from the stock location to the rear port on the t56 is bout 12" difference. and i think the front port is only 6" in front of the rear port.

some rear brake info/slicks
what size wheels are you running at the track?
what kind of tires too?
i want to look into getting some for my truck to take to the track near me next year. thanks in advance.
did you have to lose the rear brakes to put the 16's on?
thanks for the info.

thanks for the info.
