I put the charger on after the lift and 35s and it still made a nice difference. I hope to change the gears after the first of the year to 4.56s...

KC did you ever get anywhere on those flares your were making? I see from the photo you have some on the rear of your truck. Are those ones you made or are they the Bushwackers cut down to fit?

4.56 :shock: i heard they stoped makin those because the teeth were so fine they kept breaking. I ran 4.11s with 35s with just exhaust and intake and still had plenty of power.

Nope, just the stock one. I've never had the need for one.

Hey KCustom, what the shop have to do with your front fenders, anything? I see the rear was worked over in your pics, but no good pics of the front fender.

fender flares....

Post by KCustom »

I am hoping to have the front and rear mods completed this week and will finish up the custom flares for both. The rears in the picture are mods of the Bushwackers that I put on for the photo shoot for the Magazine that came earlier than I thought...did not want to put them on but had to.

I will have pictures of the new GrossMotorsportz flares and the "how to" on the install very soon.
