bubaloo1983

i forget the address but do a google search for it and it will come up

bubaloo1983

ummm this is looking very tempting im liking it

ok i think im going to go for it

bubaloo1983

yeah personal and business

bubaloo1983

ok guys i have 2500 bucks to spend here for some mods what should i do!!

i need ideas

bubaloo1983

cut your fenders like this and you MIGHT be fine with a 32 inch tire with the right back spacing, i cut these just before my lift and i could run 31s wihout rub. 32 you might pull off the fender was cut 1.5 inches and then some grinding and shaping so maybe like 1.7 total after welding http://www.s-...

bubaloo1983

hey can someone post a really detailed pic of the skid???

i want to see how they did it and if its similar to mine.

take a few pics please

bubaloo1983

well thats not bad then. but still 40 bucks to install a skid plate

i have skid plates that are 40 dollars alone hehe ah well at least you got it solved

bubaloo1983

im confused here. the stock plate only mounts 6 bolts. thats all the holes there is on our trucks. how the hell could it posibly be 40 dollars to mount and let alone miss something? i think there srewin ya

bubaloo1983

hahah the shackles would be worth alot

bubaloo1983

so how much is the superlift plate then??

just out a of curosity. cause i make a superlift plate that can have an oil door. but the plate i have you dont need to remove the plate anyway you can get in behind it

bubaloo1983

the charge you 40 bucks to turn a few bolts??? eeesh

bubaloo1983

got er

bubaloo1983

yah i can see why you did it coffee. it does get annoying as hell.

my trucks starting to bug me. i may go to 32s this week sell the 35s and go witha supercharger

you get your t case skid on yet?

bubaloo1983

sounds good

bubaloo1983

they are 4 inches longer bolt to bolt then stock.

2 inches of lift

bubaloo1983

heres a pic of the shackles i make. they fit s-10s and colorados. 1/4 inch Pickled and oiled steel. will get black powder or zinc plating if wanted. powder is included in cost zinc is extra 65 bucks. 10 bucks to ship :) http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10058/shackle3.gif laterZ

bubaloo1983

im not crazy offraoding like coffee though. i do dirt trails and yeah once in a while i end up in a mess. im not sure who else has run 35s besides me a k custom but if you could get more info on how the truck held up it may help your desision.

bubaloo1983

yah i love how they look but i need my truick to last awhile so i have to go down in size

bubaloo1983

coffee your dead :P and some crew im giving up the 35s as soon as i can. my front end is toast. im moving down to 32 11.50s as soon as i get the money. i want some saftey in there. the 35s sit bowed on my truck and dont look safe any more. it may be the alighnment or wheel spacers or wheels but they...

bubaloo1983

some crew dont worry man. 35s do cause alot of problems but if your prepared your truck is going to look killer!!!! henry, ya i figured it would be alot of work. do you know anything about that mike guys truck? i think i heard you mention he had a full size ifs under there. do you think its an advan...

bubaloo1983

hey henry just out of curisousity do you know anything about the full size ifs swap? what year would swap in? cost? ect i hate the look of sfa under the truck ( dont ask why) and think that i am going to need a new front end one day lol

Split topic-HJ

bubaloo1983

yeah i am running a 1.25 inch spacer up there too. so i think that with more offset you will be just like me and get rub only offroadin hard.

and yeah just let me know about the shackles. in terms of cutting its mostly the back of the front fender

bubaloo1983

yeah the shackles im running are about 3.5 inches the ones i make are about 2. i charge 65 dollars for them plus 10 bucks to ship. they come in 1/4 inch steel with black powder coating. my tires are 12.50s and i have no idea what back spcing my rims are. they are atlas american racing rims so you co...

bubaloo1983

the rear is ok with minor offroading or none at all. just run bigger shackle in the bak for some extra lift. but my back is cut aswell and it can stuff the 35 np. :D 35 is a big tire for these trucks and once you get it on there even with cutting you will see how cloise it comes :roll: good luck :)

bubaloo1983

you will not be able to run 35s with that lift without cuttying your fenders

i am running 35s with about 8 inches of lift and it took some trimming

that fender was moved 1.5 inches a side

bubaloo1983

rake is where its at

bubaloo1983

i have noticed nothing negative since i got mine...and it has saved my but offraod

i recommend them

bubaloo1983

jeggers what tires you running?

bubaloo1983

after reading this this sounds alot like what my problem is loosk like it off to the dealer again... i swear im going to shoot somebody....

bubaloo1983

to run 35s you have to have cut fenders.

and yeah they do look big however when you have your fenders cut like mine though it loosk like you could run a 37 or something if our front end wasnt a wuss

bubaloo1983

im watching for him dont worry the thing is fricking huge but teh front end when its driving towards yo looks liek its going to brake i swear...

bubaloo1983

welcome to my hell. my truck did that same thing for almost a year till i relized it was screwed lol. my dealer had a parts list that had stuff from 100 dollars on it too 50 cents and there was about 30 different parts. total would have been ( if not covered) 1500 bucks in terms of what parts i have...

bubaloo1983

bubaloo1983

its weird im not very good with steering do the tie rods move when you steer?

bubaloo1983

whats up guys... i think i got some more problems with me truck.. i was turning today with my music off ( not often i do this) and as i was turning a heard some wierd noises on each turn like somthings busted or rubbing or not working all that great upfront. it seems like its right in the front end ...

bubaloo1983

bubaloo1983

hey no worries..they are probably looking for that much for there chrome one. and mine owuld be about that for chrome aswell its not cheap to chorme something ;) yes i do diamond plate but its expensive shat. especially for something that is thicker and worth making a skid outa. it would probably be...

bubaloo1983

did you order the superlift with the optional skid plate? front skid for that application would run around 200 bucks depending on materila finish you choose and thickness.

thanks for your interest in me

and k custom is running 35s inch tires 17 inch rims i belive

bubaloo1983

i personally like a raked truck the shackles i have on my truck are 11 inches long and the t bars arent cranked much cause i like my truck raked. plus a stock s-10 looks like its driven around with 500 pounds in the bed anyway. i hate a sagging rear. i actually sell s-10 shackles through my company ...

bubaloo1983

hey at least the skid is good thick steel

is the tm lift hard to find these days? i gues sits kinda out dated in terms of how old compared to the other 2 new lifts

bubaloo1983

i forgot about the bds yeah sound slike a good lift...

i wonder how think that skid plate is??

bubaloo1983

i guess where you can find one is what the cost will be i just went through a offraod shop and they found it for me. you can search online ect but i personally like new stuff

good luck

bubaloo1983

hey im running a 2 inch spacer in the rear nothing up front offset wheels,

im running 4.10s with enough power i think. when i had 31s it rocked for power with 4.10s now its back to normal.
im going 4.56s when i get some money lol

bubaloo1983

when i first got my lift i rubbed 32s like a mofo. i would only go 31s if you dont want to rub at all

bubaloo1983

bubaloo1983

quik question for some of the knowledgable guys on here. would running an off set wheel and a say 1.25 inch spacer with our ifs be looking for trouble? i have some american racing rims and love how they look but wish they were about 1 inch wider. so i figure a spacer up front to offset it more but i...
