[Dan2500Brown]

Picked up a 98 Z71 today. Its got the 5.7 with 135000 miles on it. Its a hoss.

 

[Mac5005]

Looks good, especially with the newer model wheels on it.

 

[Dan2500Brown]

Thanks man. And yeah that was one of the main things i liked about it. I think im just gonna put some true duals on it, like a 2" lift and some 33s or something. Keep it moderate

 

[tlucier]

That's a clean looking truck. Nice purchase.

 

[VortecJeep]

definitely like the newer rims on it!

 

[Dan2500Brown]

I know haha for some reason they really set the truck off

 

[trailtrash]

did you buy that from a guy named chris by chance?

 

[Dan2500Brown]

nah I got it from Morrison Motors. They said it was from an older man who had a drag Nova and a Viper Ram.

 

[bowtieman55]

[Dan2500Brown]

[Dan2500Brown]

[Dan2500Brown]

[Dan2500Brown]

So I put on some true duals with 40's and the day after my buddy called me and said he was barely stuck on the side of a trail in his 2wd F150 so i went to help him out...

We ended up burying it over the whole back wheel and up over the frame. We ended up gettin it out with a Rubicon on 35s and a 9000 lb. winch and a Dodge Ram on 37s

He decided to go muddin in a 2wd after almost two weeks of rain

My brand new truck and exhaust after being pulled out by a Dodge with a 360 and 37s.
Now the paints peeling off on the hood and tailgate and i ruined the inside carpet....lesson learned

Preciate it bud. Just be careful crankin the torsion bars

why?

 

[Dan2500Brown]

why?

hmmm...well lets take a look under the front of my truck hahaha

 

[83ChevyK10]

well i have already turned them a little bit just to level out the truck some, how much over stock did ya turn your up for that kit? What manufacture is your 3" kit from?

 

[Dan2500Brown]

Its just some leveling keys, shocks, and a 3" block. I'm not sure how much i have them turned, its not level theres a little bit of rake.
