  1. I know this has been beaten to death and  I apologize in advance. But I have never lowered a truck. Lots of info out on the internet. I want to lower my ss awd 2 inches. Have it handle better and still be able to tow with it. I want to install rear air bags. I am not looking to take the cheap route. I want good quality stuff.  

  2. My truck runs smoother on 22's with Belltech Street Performance shocks than on 20's w a thicker tire and stock shocks. You'd assume the opposite after a drop but that was the case for me.

    Well i am ordering the shocks today then the idler arm and Pittman arm then alignment. Ill get back to you guys. Also the tires are in good shape. But they are winters.

  3. stock height?

     

    Yes stock height and stock 20 inch wheels. Truck sat higher in the front slightly when i got it so about 3 months ago i lowered it down half an inch to sit level i doubt that would be my problem since it rod fine after. Also i have checked the torsion bar mounts and they seem to be fine.

  4. So i am sick of my truck riding like shit. Truck just seems loose. Brought it to the shop. They checked it over and said the front end is tight. I have done left upper ball joint inner tie rods and all new shocks Monro mono tube shocks.Also changed the steering shaft. The shocks suck i am buying new ones. I am going to change the idler arm and Pittman arm when i do the new shocks. My question is? Has any one done the poly bushing up grade to the whole front suspension? How hard is it and did it tighten up the truck? My truck has 122k on it and I am sure the bushings have seen there better days. Any Input would be great.

  6. I live in VT and yes i drive my truck in the salt some times but I oil my truck every year and i wash it 3-4 times a week. I could never do that to a SS its not meant for off roading at all. Your right its a truck but not one meant to be taken off road. Mud and a truck thats lowered and has 20s on it last i checked wasn't a good combo. Check this out i think this is worse

  7. For that kind of money how can you go wrong? They look decent. You can be the Ginny pig and let me know how they are if they are decent i will prolly buy a set. Mine are starting to show there age.

     

    Well, my housings are starting to look bad on the inside. The lower parking light housings chrome coating has turned a white color.

     

    I would like to go with the all clear look anyway and in a quick Ebay search I came up with these. Has anyone used them, I am sure they are not nearly as good as factory, but are they decent?

     

    Thanks alot and here is the link.
