Aren't you only selling them as a kit together? Or will you split them up?

I would have bought the rotors and hubs a long time ago if you would have sold them individually.

I'm trying to sell the stuff as a kit. I don't think I could get as much money if I split it up.

There is a guy that is supposed to be paypaling me in the morning for it. So we'll see.

Reading through your whole build was a bad idea... Now I want to take the turbo off and get a procharger. Sweet truck too!!

Thanks man. It was a ton of work and money getting it to that point, so comments are always appreciated.



On another note, I got my ridetech a-arms in today. I haven't had a chance to weigh the stock upper, but I would be real surprised if the stock upper isn't lighter by a considerable amount. If thats the case, I'll stick with the stock upper. The whole point of this exercise is to loose weight.

It appears the lower is about 5lbs lighter per side.

I'll get some exact weights and pics up tomorrow.

It looks like the arms don't have weight in mind. .219 wall dom tube and looks like it's mig welded so I'm assuming it's just regular steel.

They are ****** stout no doubt. Not a drag racing specific piece, but priced right, bolt on and are the only ones that I know of with such a thing.

It looks like there is a total weight savings of 15lbs, or about 7.5lbs per side. Thats $80 a pound, lol. The upper arm ended up weighing the same as the stocker so I'll go ahead and run it since I have it. It would be nice if I could get some extra caster adj out of it. We'll see.

Well it sounds like I should get on that game of making some chromoly ones. Heim ends would get you that caster too.

I put most everything in the truck for nitrous but never mounted a bottle. My tuner told me he wanted to pull a couple degrees of timing and we just never did it.
