Are you satisfied with the front valance being coated in the liner? Thats a good idea - those things are pretty flimsy.

The truck looks great!

14x4

Could it be a frame rub or body rub you are hearing? The frame rub will vibrate things pretty good and can sound horrible. I don't think the tire rubbing against the body or frame would make my truck stutter like it does (although I could be wrong - that tends to happen alot :wink:). It feels much ...

I'm not worried about my current junk tires because my 33's are at the shop waiting to be installed. I'm just worried about that grinding.

Does adjusting my torsion bars and adding the front wheel adapters have any chance at fixing this problem - whatever it may be?

14x4

I suppose I have to consider all of those things. The only reason I've been using it is because it has been raining on and off for about a week and my tires are pretty bald. Every time I go even slightly uphill from a dead-stop, my tires spin.

14x4

Every time I take a sharp turn while in four wheel drive, it feels like something behind the front wheel is grinding - particularly on the driver's side. Not only can I hear it, but the car actually stutters and slows down while turning. Could this be because my front end is lower than my back end? ...

That might look really good. A little sanding, paint and clear coat would not cost much.

Looks great. I wanted rims that were very similar to that. Decided to powder coat the ZR5 alloys black instead.

Not that anyone cares, but I finished the spring kit and the rear shocks today.

Anybody tried any of the service manuals on CD (OEM) listed on E-Bay? They claim to be complete with recall and tsb notices. If so are they any good? A lot cheaper than three volume set if any good. $24.95+shipping if memory serves. I just bought a manual on Ebay from the seller, American_Workshop....

Just fixed the bumper. Next up: step bars. Then spring kit, shocks, skidz cuts, powder coating wheels, BFG 33's and DONE!

I don't know if anyone has already tried this, but I think it should work. Has anyone had there skidz flares linex'd?

How do those Skidz Flares hold up? Will they crack if you're too rough with them (while they're on the vehicle)?

If so, do you think filling the inside with marine buoyancy foam or something of the sort would eliminate that problem?

I was told that putting on spacers to widen the stance of the vehicle was a bad idea because they get loose every few hundred miles and need to be re-torqued. Is that true?
