    Great truck bro. Question though (since I can't google much in class) how do those drop blocks work? And how much overall drop are you running?

    drop blocks only drop if you have a flip kit (which put the rear end on top of the leaf springs instead of under) then adding drop blocks raises the rear end higher meaning more low, and thanks..its 5/9.5 right now

    Big difference, nice truck man

    Thanks man

    Dude, a front/rear ss bumper with cladding and that truck would look AMAZING!!! great work! its come a loooooong way.

    I appreciate it..I would do cladding if I ever found a good enough deal..it has definitely come a long way with more to come, planning on shaving the tailgate this weekend

    All he would do is bring it down to 5/7, flip kit with 1" drop shackle in the rear and 2" spindles with decranked 2500 keys or 2" spindles with 3" lcas in the front..yea bagging would be nice but its also not for everyone as it is very pricey especially when its done by a company such as ekstensive and they are building it to keep awd..my truck is 4wd and is lowered 5/9.5 and I have no problem with rubbing or any other issues for that matter

    What kind of wheels are you running? The only way you would need camber for your wheels to clear is if you were running a really low offset wheel..there are static trucks that are lowered 7" in the front with no camber..

    I loved having a slammed z71. When you tell them its a 4x4, they are like there is no way. Why would you do that. I tell them because I can.

    Yea what's funny is how they really like it until you tell them its 4wd then all of the sudden they don't like it anymore haha

    Figured I would bring my build thread over here...

     

    Well I bought the truck August of 2011 after my obs decided to give in on me.

    -2003 extended cab short bed lt 4x4 z71

    -5.3 v8

    -all power leather interior

     

    The day I bought it

    In the next few days I debadged it and removed the z71

    IMAG0374.jpg

     

    Then decided to plasti dip my center grill bar, got some painted mirror caps and threw in some tinted tails I had

    IMAG0443.jpg

    IMAG0323.jpg

     

    Kept it like this for a little while and decided I wanted to lower it, so i started getting parts together.

    the plan was to do decranked keys up front with shackles and hangers out back.

    While I was getting my parts together I decided to get some rims so i bought a set of 22s

    By this time I had my shackles and hangers, so one day i decided to go ahead and pull the z71 blocks and out the shackles on

    IMAG0548.jpg

     

    Then i found a deal on Craigslist for a fiberglass gaylords bed cover for $250, I talked to the guy and offered him $150 and he took it! So i picked it up that night

    IMAG0555.jpg

     

    I began debating on whether I wanted to do the hangers or go lower, so i just decided to take the dive and ordered mcgaughys flip and notches and some mcgaughys 17+ 2" spindles

    IMAG0581.jpg

     

    Me and my dad tore the rear end down one day and I got to work cutting and drilling, wanting to finish it that day

    And we did (well almost)

    IMAG0586.jpg

    IMAG0584.jpg

     

    The next day we put the bed back on and i put in some 2500 keys and decranked and threw on some factory 17s I picked up for $200

    IMAG0587.jpg

     

    On that following Sunday we did the spindles and a little more colormatching
