looks mighty fine. Might want to iron that fender, it looks a bit wrinkled lol

by **Bcchevy** » Sun May 26, 2013 11:03 am

Yeah 10-4 on the fender
It's has taking the life of 3 deer in its time while the wife had it!
It hard to find a fender in that color that is not smashed.

by **v7guy** » Sun May 26, 2013 11:49 am

it'll be alright. It stands a good chance of getting wrinkled again even if you fix it. I've been waiting to get similar dents myself.

Dropped my struts off at my buddies and he is gonna use the wall mount because i was turning the blue point compressors into bananas.
Hd blisteins
Moog 81114 springs
Marks 3" lift top
6 3/8 washers to help with the topping out of the shock

Tires and wheels tomorrow
New control arm bushings as well
Doing axle seals while I have it apart
:woot:

sounds like your getting squared away, compressing the 89s was a similar adventure, the compressor likes to bow. I hate taking these struts apart.

by **HARDTRAILZ** » Wed May 29, 2013 9:06 am

Keep debating on pulling the 88s off and trying my 14s and doing the washer trick but dont wanna compress struts again.

Guys take a look at these

Should I run them or get different springs

by **Bcchevy** » Wed May 29, 2013 3:48 pm

see lot of views but no opinions
guess ill throw them in tonite and see what happens

by **jonbo2002** » Wed May 29, 2013 3:54 pm

I viewed but don't have an answer, infact I am waiting to see what is said about your struts. It dosen't look right at all to me, but I have yet to install my lift I just got.

by **boog2006** » Wed May 29, 2013 3:55 pm

Mine did the same thing...had a little rubbing but no issues so far.

by **Bcchevy** » Wed May 29, 2013 4:22 pm

Cool thanks man little piece of mind

by **fishsticks** » Wed May 29, 2013 4:37 pm

Looks like the rod nuts need tightened down more.

by **Bcchevy** » Wed May 29, 2013 9:11 pm

Are you talking for the mount on the end of the rod

That f-er is tight as tight can get
Here she is as of twenty mins ago

by **ErikSS** » Wed May 29, 2013 10:41 pm

Man, it's like we built our trucks together. lol I was reading each of your posts as I was building mine. Looks good man! How do you like driving it lifted?

by **Bcchevy** » Wed May 29, 2013 10:52 pm

Thanks Eric I been checking yours out as well! Kinda jealous of the ss tho...
Not bad went for a quick ride to the deli and it was cool.
The z71 and the moog 81114 springs are a little stiff right now but I plan on doing bumpers so that should help.
I still have a bad bushing on the lower control arm and want to do the outer tie rods before I get it aligned
Gonna try to do that this week and get it aligned on sat

I keep ya posted
And good luck with yours

by **ErikSS** » Wed May 29, 2013 11:41 pm

Thanks. I did the 2500HD tie rod ends. The alignment guy says to me "What are those tie rod ends? They aren't stock!" lol I've just got stock 2005 4.2 front springs for now. (Thanks Hotness) I want to go Radflo. If I find I can't/wont afford Radflo I will probably order front springs like yours.

by **v7guy** » Thu May 30, 2013 8:06 am

my 89s had a bit of a bow like that, they partially straighten out as I drove it a bit. I've never seen them perfect. couldn't tell ya one way or another if they'll be fine, but I've destroyed three shocks to date, one before the bumper and two after. In fairness one of the shocks got bent because I didn't keep up with bushing replacement on the upper mount.

the truck looks really nice, I dig it

by **Bcchevy** » Thu May 30, 2013 10:35 am

Thanks man
With out all your guys hardwork it wouldn't be as easy as it was!
Thanks again to all
