Great mod! I was going to do this the other method until I came across this one. This one seems like a cleaner method. Thanks!

You will be fine with travel at 7" with a bolt-in notch, but do the 7" with flip kit and drop shackles. Use the stock hangers to avoid problems with your pinion angle. Also, the DJM notch is the worst design compared to Belltech and McGaughy's. The notch is just a cover plate with reinforcement around the notch cutout, while the McG notch wraps around the bottom of the frame, and the Belltech notch completely boxes the frame. You will also need to make sure the offset on your rims is high enough or they will rub the fender lip.

Sweet man, I got mine in yesterday. I'll be sure to send another 5 bucks your way. Thanks!

I haven't heard anything bad happen with this setup? I've been running it since I bought my 05 Silverado new, it was the first thing I did to it.

Money sent.

Looking good man.

These are some very nice headers. Good luck with the sale. Out of curiosity, are you stepping up to 3" collectors or just want something different?

Put me down for a polished/machined one. Let me know when to pay up.

Cool, thanks. I'm gonna go with the vette servo, 4th billet, and transgo shift kit. And a tune of course.

As far as the 1-2 servo goes, I have been told that the billet servo is overkill for a stock 4l60e. Shifts too harsh and will start breaking stuff, etc. I have been told the vette servo will suffice. I have also been told that the 4th billet servo is a waste of money for my stock tranny, and that I won't be able to feel it. I do plan on installing both servos and a shift kit, and replacing the plastic 1-2 and fwd accumulator pistons with aluminum ones. I'm just not sure on which servos yet, and I don't want to rebuild my transmission for a good while. Would you guys care to provide some insight?

Or you could just grind the nut down after cutting off the excess balljoint. Also if you have the stock nut, you can cut off the washer attached to the nut, and reinstall it (backwards if needed).

That kit will work perfectly fine. I would actually prefer Mcg over Belltech spindles IMO. My turning radius decreased noticabley with Mcgaughy's Spindles though, and I use Doetsch Tech shocks out back. They have a reputation for being stiff.

Bump for a nice lid.

Yeah the Belltech is the best bolt-on notch IMO. If I'm not mistaken, it comes with two pieces to wrap all the way around the frame. Or you can do a weld-on notch, but that Belltech should be good enough.

I would go with Mcgaughy's spindles and springs, unless you don't have a coil suspension, and McG/Belltech / DJM Flip kit in the rear with a 1 inch shackle. And you might be able to get away with the same shocks in front and get a decent ride, but you'll def. need new shocks for the rear.

If you are talking about the install thread on here with pictures and everything, it's basically the same thing, but there is no axle up front, so no axle nut to remove, and you don't have to worry about trimming the upper ball joint to clear the rubber boot on the axle (because their isn't one). We could be more helpful if we knew exactly what you are having problems with.

You can run 22s on a 265-35 tire without rubbing if you can get a high offset. I think the SS replicas can be had in a +30 offset, and you'll be fine with that. You might rub on bumps from your driveshaft that low though, because its a 1-piece. DJM is a good kit, but I went with 2" springs and Mcgaughys spindles instead of control arms.

$ 29000 Canadian = $24533 USD Nice truck btw, good luck with the sale.

You should also check your ball joints and tie rod ends. Lift up the front of the truck and see if there is any play on the wheels/spindles.

Can you PM me a shipped price to 79072? Thanks.

He already sold them...

I saw the preview at the end of the issue and the Dropstars gave it away, I knew it had to be yours. I just didn't see you mention it or anything so I didn't want to ask. Contratulations man!

I would also ditch the chrome molding but other than that, its a nice turnout man.

that will have to with the offset of the wheels. for a 22x9.5 you need a 35mm offset to tuck. If your talking about the aftermarket SS replicas, they have a 32 mm offset (I think) and will barely tuck, you may have to trim/roll the fender.

I would trade you for sure, I'm in lubbock Mon-Thurs for school... bad thing is it's not silver birch.
