yea Slink, lookin sick!

Josh - you got a tundra! nasty! I want a TRUCK!!! Jesus, anytime now Jared..

 

if your going to go for the offroad look.. 18's and 33's....16's just arent a big enough wheel..especially for the opening on the Avy's...also look into a body lift if your going to run 33's...we put one on an Avy about 3 weeks ago and it looks sick!...kind of a pain in the *** to do though, its easier to do on a pickup.

 

Body lifts are a no-no in Maine if you have ABS. Those are 33's on there right now, well 285/75-16's. I'm going to raise the torsion bars a hair to level it out. I'm not sure I could fit 33x12.5's without some sort of lift though.

 

why would they be a No-no?

you can run different torsion bar keys and get about 3" of lift out of the front along with blocks in the rear...thats what a lot of guys are doing. Its pretty cheap too..its just a pain to get the torsion keys out. You'll have to get the truck aligned after too.

 

The body lifts are against the law if you have ABS. They won't inspect it.

It has coil springs in the rear. How do you lift that, coil spacers?

 

Sick truck! I love the new Avalanches. I don't care for the old "fisher price" looking ones with the lower plastic panels. I'm glad to see you went with a nice cleaner package on yours!

 

i forgot about the coil springs on those....they must make a lifted spring for them....or maybe a spacer...i'd have to look into it

 

Body lifts are ghey. So are 16" wheels IMO.

Suspension is where it's at.

 

I also detest body lifts and I'm really not a fan of over 17" wheels for offroad tires until you get over 35". It's not worth buying new wheels to go up one inch. I also wouldn't go over 18" wheels with an offroad tire ever. I think 20-24" rims look stupid with aggressive tires.

 

I can feel it...its getting close!...by the way...i drink coors light or budlight

 

Yeah, talked to Jordan last night. Said he wanted to get new a-arms. He'll still probably finish before you.

 

You seem more like a Smifnoff guy to me...

 

actually absolute or grey goose

 

I'll be bringin a bottle to the party!

 

nice..i have a bottle sitting at the house too lol....and a bottle of patrone that came back from mexico via jordan lol.....i'm saving it for the party!

 

Awwwww snap!

What's the law on fireworks over there?

 

only illegal if your caught with them....i have a couple primo locations lighting off sparklers lol

 

little update...though actually its now a roller i just dont have pics






i heard that jordan was getting close also...but i'm still going to win....waiting on one bolt to mount the suspension linkage to the swingarm, and i need to drop my motor in....then i'll be ready to roll!

 

Damn! That looks sick! It also looks like a money pit! LOL

 

definately more money in it than i should have put..but once i got started i couldnt stop...i'm pretty sure i can part it out for what i have into it and maybe a little more.
