Hey, new to the forum, long-time lurker. Finally picked up an 01 rcsb from a buddy. Everything is pretty much stock. There looks to be a rear shackle on it but from the pics you can still see that it is higher in the back. Do i need to get a 1" rear hanger drop so it can be level? It's on the top hole right now. Also i noticed that the rotors look to big for the caliper. You can see on the inside of the hub there is part of the rotor not even being used and there is no lip on the outside of the rotor (which i am though there usually one)

Stock 4.8 for now, but has RST wheels and baer brakes. Plans are to leave the motor pretty much stock right now. I was thinking more of working on a drop (possibly 2/4 or just level out the back) e-fans, alternator(its a 105 now, and i have beat) 3.73s, tru-trac, built 4l60, corvette/super servo, full catback (just welded muffler right now) volant intake...maybe a 6.0 if i can find a turn-key swap for a good price.


Please let me now of your thoughts and tip/advice on what else should be done.

 

Nice truck, has great potential! Trade me wheels

 

Yeah, I know I got lucky with the RST wheels and baer brakes! Complicated story on how we got them, but nonetheless, they are on look great and stop pretty good.

 

I think the truck would look real nice with candied tails or 03-06 tails
besides that just the drop and itll be fine looking

efans are in your best interest

 

Yes, I do need some taillights but I can't decided. Was thinking something lightly smoked but still looking into the candied ones.

 

You plan to build up them drive train but then say "possibly" a 6.0 swap. No need to get a built Tranny for the 4.8. Maybe I am just mis-understanding you but seems like you plan to waist a good deal of money for no real good reason.

Truck looks awesome just not following you build plan.

 

God damn you're stupid, a built tranny is not a waste of money just because he's not making a ton of power. But hey look who I'm talking to.

To the OP, a 2/4 would be the **** stance with that wheel and tire package. I'd do some color matching and stock 04-06 tails (I like the black ring around the outside the 03's don't have.) And it'd be a very clean truck with a minimal amount done.

 

I completely agree with everything here

 

Oh I hate it haha

Man we are on same track but I'm doing reverse I got engine stuff done then I'm going start paint matching here soon!
I love those wheels man! Dont shy away from that 4.8 it isn't too bad haha
Good luck with everything great platform!

 

ps sorry for big pic..i dont know how to resize
