well since i drag race i know a chassis builder and we did bunch of custom work to the rear end. its still the stock hanger and shackles but we flipped the leaf springs under the axel. which means we had to relocate the mounting brackets and then we had to get the drvieshaft shortened a inch. but it came out real nice...im happy with it as a junior in highschool...still few more things im going to do but for right now im done

Nice truck, with a great color. That front grille really sets it apart from any other chevy. Keep up the good work junior in highschool...

acutally i havent driven it at 100 mph dont plan on it either...but other then that its awsome. except the only bad thing is next set of tires im getting are 275/40/20 instead of 295/45/20 i rub alot. plus i think im going to roll my fenders up front and i want a little less sidewall....the only other thing i can say is Houston roads suck ***

What rims do you have on your truck? They look very similar to mine.
