Thanks
I want you to included everything from the different shocks you tried to bringing it to the mechanic to have issues fixed ect ect......

 

Ouch! ... $6k.

Parts...(Viking rear shocks, Caltracs, Belltech 3/6 kit) ~$1,500
Add another $200 for tossed shocks (Monroe Airmax & Belltecs drop shocks)

Labor...$2300

Plus $2000 for wheels, tires, powder coating, mount/balance,etc.

I'll try to post it up on a Google Doc spreadsheet.

That's about how much i have invested in my truck as well. And im not fully happy with the ride.

I guess $2500.00 doesn't look bad anymore for a full bolt on suspension kit that lowers the truck 3/5-4/6" with drop spindles and coilovers w/brackets in the front and tri link in the rear with coilovers. Guess I going in the right direction with this and i think I'll be 110% happy once I'm finish with it. At lease i hope hehe

 

Just ordered Nitto 555R 305/45R18 DRs. Also ordered an extra set of wheels to use temporarily while I get my rear ones widened.

Discount Tire Direct currently has a $100 discount when you spend $400+ on wheels and/or tires and free shipping.

Now I need to take measurements to make sure the widened wheels will fit. I'd like to go 10" but 9.5" would work.

 

Sounds like my ole lady

 

lol

 

I measured from the lip of the rim to the leaf spring -- 3". So adding 1.5" of backspacing shouldn't be a problem.

I'm getting the full 10",

 

are there any issues with warranty when you did your true duals since you had to delete the rear cat? been contemplating when i get the exhaust for mine to cut out the rear cat too.

 

depending on your dealership they can void it for removing the cat... I've been told its against the law to remove it so when the dealerships see that you've pulled it off they not only void your warranty but send the info to the epa or whoever regulates that. having said that, its never happened to me, just hear/read stories about it.

 

I'll have to re-check, but I don't think the 3rd cat was removed. Didn't need to be.

Since the exhaust is modified, I'm assuming any remaining factory exhaust parts are no longer covered, including the cats.

It's been in twice for warranty work* with out issue or comment.

*Leaking rear window; transmission line recall.
