  1. Here are a few pics. The changes are whole near rear axle unit painted black, new leaf springs, T/A girdle with ARP bolts, front upper and lower bumper color matched, painted rear bumper color matched and the rest of the body work is done.

  2. hey guys, havent been on the forum in forever but ive been lurking around. decided to get the wheels done black and to keep my stock ones. found a local small shop out here in kansas. took him 15 hours to get all four of my wheels from chrome to black so here they are. great work. now just need to get them on the truck.

    This is the exactly look I am going for with my chrome rims down bottom. They are pitted and time for a change! Very nice!

  3. great mod and does more than look pretty , the stud kit is also a must have when doing this upgrade.

     

    not saying my 10 bolt is indestructable but with the TA girdle , stud kit ,oem 3.73's and tru trac i doubt i could kill it if i wanted too , and it saves a alot of weight from me swapping to a 9.5 14 bolt

     

     

    Yea if I has some extra $$ I would get the truetrac but OEM with the studs and T/A will have to do. peelout.gif

  4. No the ss bumper cover does not work with a regular silverado. The rear bumper is designed to match with the classing. An ss rear bumper will fit but it will stick out and look like crap. I have seems a few and they just don't look right.

     

    Imo it would be best to just have a regular bumper painted

     

    Check out lmctruck.com I have one of there catalogs and they have a rear bumper primered for 150 for just the main part of the bumper and 250 for the whole thing

     

    Will do. Thanks for the info advice.

  5. I am running a set of EBC greenstuff on the rear of my accord. Over the past few months EBC has been putting out some shit in regards to product. I would not recommend their rotors at all!!! Brake pads, for daily driving is fine but if you plan to get into it, PowerSlot rotors and Hawk HPS pads.

  6. In the month of May, me and a friend of mine are going to the performance years car show in PA. (http://performanceyears.com/openhouse.asp) He is going to enter in his 06 GTO and for kicks I am going to enter in the 1500 chevy_icon.jpg His GTO is rated 3725lbs and I was going to pick up a the full uhaul car trailer (http://www.uhaul.com/Reservations/EquipmentDetail.aspx?model=AT) and tow it up there. Only Him and I and his son(7yrs) will be in the truck. I know the tow hitch says 5000 lbs but wondering what would you guys recommend. I have nothing right now that watch my tranny temp but I do have the larger 40,000 tranny cooler, shift kit with some servos and I have power slot rotors, HAWK pads, and SS lines with racing brake fluid. This will be my first time hauling anything with the truck so I wanted to get some advice. Do I really need to purchase the trail brake controller? My buddy has a dash hawk so I am thinking about pulling it out his GTO and plugging it into the truck just for the trip but any help is greatly appreciate.

     

    P.S. Hopefully I may see some of you at the show.
