Not bad at all compared to others from northern states

I will be needing new tires soon... currently on stock tire size and a 2-2 drop... i want to know of a tire size that will work good without rubbing in any form and that fills up the gap and has some sidewall to it also... planning on going with a 3-4 drop down the road with stock SS wheels.. thanks in advance any pictures are appreciated
-
do you have a drivers side door piece??? Txt me 7198217188I have a fee pieces no brackets

So I finally pulled the trigger on the racelines I wanted... I went with the explosion 6 model polished and black... 22x10/ 6 in lip & 22x8.5/ 2 in lip... I bought them used in like new condition with brand new tires....($2100 for the set what do yall think??)...now I just need to get my rear end done... gotta start looking for a shop that can narrow it for me...
-
Yes most guys that use factory wheels use the 06 star-shaped 17s with drag tires
-
Racestars are pretty nice
-
I just popped off the bulb covers on the bumper with my fingers... it's a pain, especially on your fingers since you'll be squeezing them a bit... be careful not to break them..

I'm 3-2 right now on the SS, belltech spindles, keys and shackles I have about 1.5-2 in of rake in the rear that's why I was thinking of hangers... yes let me know if you get any part #s...No issues and they were on for probably 2 years or so. I went back to the stock ones when I went lower as the rear would have been really low with shackles and hangers both.
Maybe some minor squeaking if I went up something really steep but I would say its my leafs rather than the hangers fault.
I can try and get a part number and get back to you! If you are set on not drilling anything out, I believe belltech makes a drop leaf. I would expect it to ride more stiff than the shackle/hanger combo, but much easier to reverse.
I was dropped 2/4 for a little while and hit the stop at times although I never replaced the bump-stops with the small pancake ones (due to fear of really slamming it hard if I bottomed out), instead I just cut the factory ones and drilled them.
I am dropped 5/7~ now and did notch the frame. I used the mcgaughys notch as the belltech one is cut a bit higher and a lot of people have to cut the brace under the bed as well as the frame (although this could be fixed by just running bigger bump-stops I suppose). If I did it again, I would probably use the belltech notch as it comes with a guide to line up on the frame to cut with if I remember correctly. I still haven't figured out how you are supposed to get the mcgaughys one 100% aligned since the axle will most likely move a little when it rises up.
It has been so long but if I am correct, I used mcgaughys c notch, spindles, shackles, and flip kit with belltech shocks and coils.

I know that hangers are a PITA but any other issues with these??? Any squeaking after install??? Do you have a part #??did you notch your frame also?? Thanks in advanceI used Mcgaughy's hangers on my single cab and they were built very well, was just a pain getting those rivets out of the frame to bolt them in. I would imagine most people around here are running belltech though.
-
Finally going 3-4 on my SS... looking for a good set of hangers... any recommendations with the ones everyone is using??

Bad ass truck.. glwts!

Looking at different styles of raceline billet wheels.. I know that the rear differential has to be shortened for a wider lip look..I like the racelines deceptive 5, explosions, or the blast models in 22s by 10. Not looking to go an excessive 10 or 12in lip but something instead like a 6-8 in the rear. I'm wanting to know any pros and cons of doing this?? Also would I still be able to put my stock SS rims back?? Thanks!
-
I'd build the motor before supercharging it... headers, cam, internals all that stuff and then save a little more for the supercharger... supercharger alone and you will probably break something real fast
-
I always wash mine at the carwash with the degreaser from autozone just don't power wash it because something can loosen up..
-
Dang! I was barely thinking of putting the TX black/white with the big star...
-
I'd be willing to buy a Cheyenne also... seems like only Mopar guys are the only ones getting what they're asking for with all the performance cars they're building....
-
Would it be that manufacturers are leaning towards performance suvs???? I just saw a Durango srt a few days ago on the road..
-
I still like the concept of the Cheyenne 6.2 single cab street truck better to take the spot of the SS... it was a good idea for us street truck guys
-
I need a drivers side front door... anybody have one????
-
Isn't this the one that got stolen a few months ago?
-
Looks really nice and clean!
-
I know the dash bezel trim fits on the SS I had one on my single cab, but what I wanted to know is if the denali center console pieces fit on the regular SS console?? At least the top part of the console where the lighter other plug in goes.... thinking about picking some up
-
Same here... I've had both on the SS... the k&n is a little louder and I had the aluminum tube and got a little too hot... volant has a bigger filter and I also went with the dry filter.. I bought it for the enclosed box also.. it even has the ram air scoop but I haven't even installed it.... I sold the k&n and also had a $50 rebate on the volant so pretty much I just spent about $50 out of my pocket for the volant.. good deal for me lol
-
Exactly.. specially if you only need one piece...better to pay $200-300 than $1200 for stuff I don't need

Faulty oil pressure switch maybe???....
