Re: Need a new truck...So got a CC S10

Jongo88 I think I am going to leave the bars there. I personally think the look good and will little kids (3 and 6 yr old) it helps them to now get into the truck since it is higher.

Re: Rear Suspension

I did notice yesterday when I was doing my lift and body lift that the driver side is like 1/8" - 1/4" lower in the rear compared to the passenger side. But I do have a full tank of gas, and the front were both the same.

Re: Vibration in front end.

I was going to suggest what Killian about rotating the tires from front to back or even an unbalanced wheel.

Re: The Marvelous Mystery Lift

Jongo, Do you think that doing the TB crank and shackles along with the BL I might be able to get away with the 31's without the skid cuts?

Re: The Marvelous Mystery Lift

_Stucky, I like the look of the 33s. I want more ground clearance, I do pavement drive about 70-75% and the rest off road to go hunting. I don't do any krawling. But we do get like 20-30 inches of snow a year....unless last year were we got 27 inches in a week. Then I didn't have the truck, but my c...

Re: The Marvelous Mystery Lift

Jongo, did you use spacers in the rear with the 31's and do you know what the "true" number is on your tires?

Re: Fallvitals' lift journal.

Fallvitals, so let me ask you this....was it worth it? Meaning I am looking at just doing 31's to my truck, but 33's have crossed my mind. I don't want to start something that I might regret down the road.

Re: The Marvelous Mystery Lift

Jongo88 Thanks for your help. Right now I don't do a lot of driving just to take me kid to school and go hunting. The 33's I am looking at are really 32.8" and the 31's are 31.2" So 1.6" would be that big of a deal? If I am going to do the cuts for the front, might as well do them for the rear. Also...

But now looking at the MML again since I have the the shackles, will do tb crank and the BL here tomorrow. I am planning to replace shocks in next couple of months. Also 33x10.5x15 are abou...

Re: Ordering wheel spacers / adapters ( comparison and revie

I know this is bring it back up from the dead (almost 2 years) I have talked with wheel/tire places, local 4x4 shops and some of the lifted chevy guys in my area and all of them say stay away from spacers/adapters. They really can't say why, though. I am just looking at 1.25" from completevalue on e...
