Thanks, I got totally flammed on SVTPerformance, for lowering a 4x4.
But, I had my reasons... and it does what I need it to do, and get around in the 12" snowfall we had here in KC last week.

7" of snow three weeks ago, 12" of snow last week, and another 3" today. No track anytime soon here in KC. However I am totally planning on taking it to the road course in spring, just to see what it will do going around corners.

I am putting one on as soon as my EDGE monitor shows up. The EFILive is great, however I don't always have a laptop in my truck, so I wanted to get a monitor to keep an eye on EGT's and stuff.

I need a lift pump bad, because after about 2 seconds of WOT with my current tune, the high psi, drops like a rock... and drains the rails.

I know, it wasn't my first choice, nor my second. However I was limited to about 5 different wheels that had the offset correct for a lowered truck. (In 8 lug)

I get the same feeling, maybe I should have went up.

 

The first night I pulled it out of the shop, a door guy at the bar literally said... "Nice slammed 1500..." I was like... "go look under the front"... his reply when I was leaving the bar...."Well played..."

There is a video on youtube, just search for "Best of First Snow Kansas City"

dam that looks like fun .

 

Siiiiiick! Well done! And agreed, way too many jacked up duramax's, way to break the mold.

 

Sadly I can't see youtube vids at work (blocked)

But if it has a Brand new white MB350 Eclass in it, and a few blue subys then yes thats the video. We have had a lot more fun since that night, and found some better, more open areas to really let the trucks hang out. We got like 7" that night.... like I said, we got 12"+ in that giant storm. I have photos of my truck dragging frame, and bumper every where we went do to it being low.

Well I figured out why nobody does it. LOL.
Finding shocks, sucked.
Finding parts for the rear springs, sucked.
Notching the frame to clear the axle, sucked.
Building mounts for the airbags to be relocated, sucked.

Actually it wasn't that bad. But I had honestly only figured it would take a weekend worth of work, and I turned out to be WAY wrong. I bet I had the gas tank in and out 5 times.

 

Dude that is too awesome I have wanted to do this for a long time. I don't have a truck yet but the plan is to get one and do just what you did.
Please do a writeup on what you had to do.

 

I literally have about 100 photos of doing it step by step, and will do a write up one of these days, when I get a break and am sitting at my home computer.

The "C" notch is the only thing that good some real time.

The guys at the following places can get you hooked up with the parts though.

Thanks a ton. I am hoping to trade my truck for a dmax soon.
