  7. Rim help

    Last time I called about them I was told $520 per wheel and $85 for the color.

     

    If you get those Lagunas just remember that you will have 2 more spokes. And that changes the wheel all together. I like the Palisades alot but ended up getting Huntingdons. Just make sure you see them in a 6 lug before you get them.

    sry not trying to be a dick i have a flip kit its like 4inches if he took out his overload leaf prolly could be around 6 inches

    Every Flip kit I have ever seen has been 6 inches on a 1500 I have a CC 1500 lowered 4-6 with control arms and a flip. It tucks all the way around with a 275/30/24. http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/skyhighsami/Truck/ I have no clue why you truck is only 4 inches with a flip my was almost dead on.

  9. Belltech Nitro shocks

    I finally got around to ordering these shocks for my truck. :ughdance:

     

    My truck has about 47K miles on it as of right now. After I removed the stock shocks, I went over them and they were done! I mean done!!! It took little to no effort to compress them. I kind of knew it was time for new shocks because everytime I would go over a speed bump, I could feel the front bottom out. The back was a different story since I have the helper bags. I probably could have gotten away without changing the rears, but you know how that goes.

     

    First off, good old Belltech sent the wrong nuts for the front shocks. I don't know if any of you who have these shocks ran into this problem, but if any of you order these in the future, make sure you fit that nut on the stud before you go and do the install. I didn't and I spent a good hour and a half trying to get the right ones while my truck was in the air and all my tools were out. For future reference, the threads are 10mm X 1.5 pitch. I also had to buy a die to straighten out the threads since I tried to force those wrong nuts on the studs. I didn't go far, but far enough for me to buy the die. Belltech sent something like a 3/8" nylock nut. That's funny seeing that the threads are metric. What a bunch of dumbasses!!!! These shocks must have been packed on a Monday or Friday. :jester:

     

    Anyways, the initial feel is a little stiffer, but ALOT better than stock. Something I shouldn't have done right away was I turned my torsions up a turn and a half to get a better ride up front. I should have waited till I tested the shocks out to see if the ride was better without turning the torsion. Oh well, the ride is better and I'm happy with it. I did measure from the ground to the fender lip and it was 32" in the front and 33.5" in the rear. I'm sure the helper bags have alot to do with the height in the rear since I have more than 5lbs back there, but I lile the rake it has currently.

     

    I have had Belltech Nitro shocks on everything I have ever had that was lowered. This go round I tried Toxic shocks.....garbage. I need some new from shocks. BAD!!! I hope they work out well for you

  10. Just installed my Edelbrock Shocks

    I'm curious to know how those'll work out for you... I've been interested in their "IAS" system for a while but haven't had a reason to get them for anything yet... Let us know how the ride quality is once you get some more driving time on them!

     

     

    I wonder how they would work on my truck. I have never really seen many people use these when they have a truck lowered very much. My is 4-6 a non SS but a CC 1500. I like the tech behind them for sure
