Updated pics of KCustom's truck with 35's

adrenalnjunky · Post by **adrenalnjunky** » Thu Jun 17, 2004 1:39 pm

Brule -- KCustom emailed me pics of his truck - wanted me to get them to you to update on the site.

they're huge, so I resized them down to forum-friendly size, and made each pic clickable to take you to the 1024x768 sized originals. (Dialup users prolly shouldnt click unless you have some reee time.)

Those tires look huge on there. Not going to get much flex in the rear without rubbing the fender pretty good. Still looks good though.

I will learn to resize photos in the future...Just thought everyone would want to see the pics sooner..

Thanks agian,

What brand tires are those? What are the true heights? Looks good.

wow. i am really confused about what yall are talking about...

so ya, the truck looks killer...but ummm...i am concerned about cornering and bumps and stuff like that.

i used to wheel with zr2's who had the 2"BL and the 6" SL and they would rub on their rear fenders which were 33" openings and they only 33" tires.
let us know how that combo goes and be careful, i hate to hear crunch when flying over some rail road tracks.

truck looks awsome but that looks dangerously close to the fender wells

Justin · Post by **Justin** » Fri Jun 18, 2004 2:52 am

I would not take that truck off-road...Too much time and money involved. With the lift, supercharger, 35's, shiny paint job and a great sound system, I don't know if it will see any dirt roads....KCustom???

a2b · Post by **a2b** » Fri Jun 18, 2004 4:10 am

i sure would love to drive it to see what the power feels like with 35's...i sure hope its got 3.73's in it. i cant imagine it with 3.42's....i wonder if that supercharger makes up for the lack of gear????

i want to know what it will do in the 1/4 mile and see how it compares to stock crewcab numbers.

mike a.k.a. LS1ZR2 i think ran a 12.5 with his zr2 with his 33's and SL6

KCustom · Post by **KCustom** » Fri Jun 18, 2004 6:23 am

The tires that are on there now are BFG ATs 315-70-17. I do have the 33s for wheeling but the 35s are for street and shows. They do clear pretty good no problems so far. The truck does have 3.73 gears (and factory rear locker) and I have reprogramed for the tire size with a Hypertech PPIII. It runs really well with the supercharger. I am thinking about going to 4.56 gears, but it will have to wait for a while. Over all I love the way it rides and handels. I am looking forward to getting it out in the mountains with the 33s after the shows are done for the year....I still need to finish the fender flares for the front and rear. I will try to get some close up photos of the clearance in the wheel wells....

Just if anyone was wanting the conversion, 315-70-17 calculates to be a 34.4 inch x 12.4 inch tire.

Don't forget to add the supercharger to the equation.

had that same problem when i was on 35s

i had about that much room in the fenders, and got REALLY sick of turning up hill and hearing that tire cutting sound.

Bushwacker front flares

Truck looks really CLEAN

Do yourself a favor and trash that stock radiator cap. Get a good rubber sealed cap. The stock caps are poor to say the least, and lead to air contamination of the Dex.

Brad · Post by **Brad** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 6:04 pm

Paul, I do believe you and I are thinking the same thing: "Impending BOOM!"

More like crunch, clank, clank, clank. Oh Sh!t.

KCustom · Post by **KCustom** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 6:12 pm

I put the Bushwackers on the front to keep the stuff off of the paint to get to the show...The custom flares for the front and rear are almost ready to pull parts on and fit to the truck....

I have about 3/4 of an inch more in the front to go up, but I am in the process of making a set of rear shackles to rase the truck 1 inch so that it will be level....Once that is done it will get me by until I start on the cut out flares....

I stand corrected!

(and I've blown up enough parts, I should know better!)

Brad · Post by **Brad** » Tue Jun 22, 2004 6:01 pm

Seriously. That is a damn sharp crew. Anyone of us would love to drive it. I am sure it was very nerve racking waiting for superlift to do thier thing. No doubt the blower was a pita. I won a national event with a 1971 SS454 Monte Carlo and it is something to be very proud of. Congrats.

That back seat looks awesome. Who cut it and re-upholstered it?

KCustom · Post by **KCustom** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 6:28 am

I did all of the mods except re sewing the seat covers. Just striped the covers and foam. Cut the frames and made new pieces (sides and new hinge points) and welded them in, and had a local shop mod the covers. I had the thin crapy material on the backs of the seats replaced with the same material as on the sides of the seats. I wanted room for a couple of amp and subwoofers...

did the rotor come with the lift???

KCustom · Post by **KCustom** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 5:26 am

The rotors did not come with the lift...I replaced the front and rear stock with crossdrilled and sloted rotors...I sent you the pictures on Friday night. I will re send them...

still waiting to see those drop tbars

a2b · Post by **a2b** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 12:39 pm

shocks and ubolts tucked up out of the way and there appears to be some sort of engine skit plate?
is that thing reinforced?
nice lift!

Coda · Post by **Coda** » Tue Sep 28, 2004 6:53 am

Also, warnoffroad did you have two different lifts on there to fit the 35's then the 40's? If so im only interested in the lift that could fit the 35" bf mt's. Ive been waiting for this SL for so long that anyother option ill consider..and seeing how nice that truck looks with that lift.. im very interested... lol.. thanks

KCustom · Post by **KCustom** » Tue Sep 28, 2004 7:29 am

I am pretty sure that Waren has scraped his IFS for a SFA (riped out the front end and put in a solid axle.......

AZS10Crew · Post by **AZS10Crew** » Tue Sep 28, 2004 5:17 pm

Yep...he's all custom. SFA with leaf springs up front and I think blocks in the back (don't quote me on that though). Dual t-cases last time I heard too. He hasn't been here in a while though.

Coda · Post by **Coda** » Tue Sep 28, 2004 5:33 pm

oh wow... lol.... how much would a custom lift like that cost? Im so tired of waiting for the SL!

AZS10Crew · Post by **AZS10Crew** » Tue Sep 28, 2004 7:00 pm

It would cost about as much as 5 or 6 Superlift kits.
