Do you understand how to paste pictures? Rotate 90 deg Clockwise first then paste.

Yea I figured it out yesterday but thanks for asking

Here are a few pictures of the 1009 getting to "work" for a little while

Yea I figured it out yesterday but thanks for asking

I'm just figuring these things out myself!

 

[Dave87]

I like the truck. I also like the tools. As for leveling the truck.... if its a block lift you could make bigger blocks to compensate. If its a spring lift you could make shims or something. I have the same problem with my truck. im going to make blocks/shims to adjust the reverse rake.

 

[BobM]

As for the "leveling tips", some people lift the rear more than the front to compensate for the GM habit of standing tall in front. But that info woulda helped BEFORE you bought your lift kit!

 

[Cleptomaniac]

Thanks Dave87 I have new springs up front but blocks in the back. I don't like the idea of taller than 4" blocks. Isn't their something you can do with the shackles?

The tools shure make "work" fun

 

[Dave87]

Ok with it being blocks i wouldn't go taller then 4in. Are the springs new or are they the ones off the truck? Yes you could do a shackle flip or try to shorten them but there's not much to shorten. If its old springs they might be sagging alittle.

 

[Cleptomaniac]

Yea it has the old springs on it in the back. If I but new ones you think I should just get some custom made and get rid of the blocks?

 

[Dave87]

You don't have to get custom made springs. You could get 4in lift springs and that might fix the problem and if not then you could put shims in to correct the problem. I got an 8in and it came with 6in springs and 2in blocks.... i really wanted all spring but skyjacker doesnt make them i guess. id look at pricing and everything. I personally like all springs. How much reverse rake do ypu have?

 

[Dave87]

Oh yea look at summit racing they sell springs and kits. You can order spring packs for just the rear.

 

[vinny-socom1]

I would shackle flip the rear first, then if it does not level out you would only need a 1"-2" block.

good looking truck, would love to see some more photos!!

[Cleptomaniac]

Ok every one wanted pictures of the A/C so here you go.... (not much to look at)

 

[Cleptomaniac]

On a more fun note I installed a alternating flasher and some led lights in place of the blackout lights and their a blast!! I"ll try to post a video of them tonight.

Well haven't posted anything on here in a while but have changed out the whole fuel delivery system! New tank changed to 30 gal. New fuel sending unit and electric pump. Also changed out the filter base to a spin on! No more problems!
Had to rework the steering column! New wiring.
