Increase was 1" to 1.250".
The fender lip to the ground is 33".

Tribecrist

Not worried about the tires I was going to replace them soon.

Also

f9k9 ~ I did get a good look at my adjuster TB key today its not bottomed out Its darn close ... I can put a plastic shim between the key and the crossmember.

Tribecrist

One more stupid question ...After the TB crank I drove a week to work (2.5 miles) to make sure I was happy with the adjustment.
I didnt get an alignment yet but I will this week I need to travel 50miles this weekend ..Is it ok to do this ??

Tribecrist

My crew is black and I was planning on painting it the same color (satin black) as i did my center grill piece

Thanks again HJ

Wow thats hard too see.

I can not go past 4.5 turns (+ 1.250").

Tribecrist

How close to bottoming out can I go??

Tribecrist

I did a TB Crank of 5 complete turns and my passenger side adj bolt is close to bottoming can I bottom out then back off a quarter of a turn?

My front is 1"- 1.25" lower then the back.

I would like it even.

How far can i go?

Tribecrist

Oh i see,
I also did a t-bar crank. 1.5"

Tribecrist

HJ. Lift plans?

Tribecrist

snocat1

I posted pics in the user gallery.Yes it was easy just follow the directions listed in modifications and posts in this site.

My only problem was the the u-bolt cutting.

Tribecrist

Well HJ ...one was real long I cut 1.75" off that one and the other three I cut about an inch off.

Tribecrist

The Boise SW Installation was good i had to run out and buy a grinder to take down the excessive exposed threads on the u bolts. I also did a t bar crank 4 full turns. Last weekend I installed 1.5" spacers on the back. I like the results. Now I have to save for a BL and 31" tires. Thanks to HJ and e...

Tribecrist

Received my BSW kit on Wednesday total price including shipping to PA was $ 170

Looking forward to Saturdays installation....

Thanks HenryJ

I did read the thread about the holes that are covered on each side of the housing face by the stock gasket.This site also have the slotted out gaskets.

Tribecrist

I found this really cool place that can apply a colored hammer finish to the cover but the sales man told me that year 2001 had two different rears i was thinking a zr2 is different then mine but they didnt make a zr2 in 2001.

Tribecrist

I was thinking about using stainless steel socket head cap screws for my rear cover .Does anyone know the size .Is it M8 x ??mm .

Tribecrist

Sylin concepts has both the lens in clear or smoke and a few different chrome or brushed covers.

Tribecrist

Did you replace the gasket?
Did the cover come with a longer screw?
Reg cab fits the crew correct?

sorry for all the questions....

Tribecrist

I just had my 3rd brake bulb replaced for state inspection.. What a nightmare the lens mounting countersunk hole lip broke on both sides not to mention the gaskets fell apart as well. Has anyone else had this problem??

Tribecrist

I was going to get a 05 Silverado crew with all rebates 26,500. not too bad , but they would only give me 12,000 for my 2001 CCc with 39k miles.The Silverado felt cheap - not as solid as my CC if that make sense.

Tribecrist

I went with the pro-comp ES9000...

153.45 total inc. s&h & w/boots.

Mark

Tribecrist

Ok should I buy OEM ? Whats the differance between s-10 w/ zr2 or s-10 w/o zr2.

Are skyjackers junk???

Mark

Tribecrist

Thanks jeff024 ...

Tribecrist

I am asking whats the max overall tire diameter and tire tread width that I can place on the S-10 stock wheels and without any rubbing issues.

Modification - Boise AAL and 1 1/2" TB crank

Mark

Tribecrist

I was planning on 30 x9.5 x15 on my stock rims .total diameter of 29.4 can i get to 30.5 total dia??? some tires are slightly larder...My mod will be boise springs with a tb crank..

I found the stock tire dia to be 28.7

Mark

Tribecrist

Well i just tried naval jelly sprayed onto a rag then polished up those rims real nice it worked the stock rims are painted steel with a clear coat ??

Mark

Tribecrist

Wow.. you guys are right.

I wish in 2001 they would have made the ZR2

I will make it close as i can with this sites help.w/o the stickers of course.

Mark

Tribecrist

Well heck I think I will make my own 2001 S-10 crew cab ZR2 .I will use the dark and light grey ZR2 bedside stickers.

Mark

Tribecrist

Thanks HenryJ

Mark

Tribecrist

Yikes i dont like it

Mark

Tribecrist

2001 S-10 crew cab ZR2???

Mark

Tribecrist

Did they make a ZR2 in 2001?

Mark

Tribecrist

How to is easy....When you remove the bolts the oil drains out in to pan ..clean it up.. apply gasket... install new cover...tighten bolts and fill it up.

Mark

Tribecrist

MARK

Tribecrist

C: 2" BL .....fall of '05

Mark

Tribecrist

Does anyone have any good sources for rear end covers . I like the black and raised alum finned covers.

Mark

Tribecrist

Well the keys sound like bad news so I think I will go with the tb crank and the biose AAL.
I need to start a piggy bank for a BL ...I got an install price of $800.00.

Mark

Tribecrist

The factory (non-zr2) S-10 rims are aluminum? or painted with a clear coat? I did try using a 3M Finesse-it finishing material by hand, didnt do it.

Mark

Tribecrist

Any tips on polishing factory rims mine are damn spotty..
