My 2000 2wd, redone suspension

[prerunfw]

Finished up my truck last weekend, thought I'd post up. I was bored of the RCD 6in. kit (for sale btw $450).

Current plans are to switch to 315's on the next set of tires, and painting the fenders. Should look much better after that. Then, tackle the rear suspension+shock hoop+rear bumper.

Damn that is a nice looking front end! Looks like a trophy truck

[prerunfw]

Thanks dude! That's kinda what I was shooting for. It sits at the same ride height as my old 6in lift, I think any higher and it doesn't look as good.

Here are some more:

Sick! Have you given it the shake down yet?

[prerunfw]

Not yet man, hopefully this weekend though! If I can get or borrow a Go-Pro camera, I'll def. post a vid up on here

[Chriscon7]

Sweeeet,I look forward to seeing that for sure!

[Ramin44s]

[prerunfw]

[What?]

It's a very nice setup, truck looks awesome. +1 awaiting for video as well.

Mega bump- Building an axle before I get into this thing much more. 6-lug 14 bolt full floater with a Detroit, work getting done at CWF Offroad



*edit; light bar went on a while ago too. No leds allowed haha

[fbeltran1]

Ill buy it

[countrystrong]

holy crap very nice

[1998regcab]

Same bolt pattern as the 10 bolt?

[prerunfw]

Thanks!

Yes sir 6 on 5.5, Solid/Spyntec hubs. They offer them in 5 on 5.5 too

[1998regcab]

Wow I figured the hub would be too big to fit through the center hole on the rim.

[prerunfw]

Ok ya, I should've added some details. The axle flange diameter has to get turned down a small amount to fit through half ton wheels. *The wheels must have a 4.25in center bore, no big deal, most aftermarket wheels do. Stock wheels and wheels made specifically for GM half ton run a 3.something inch center bore.

Depends on the center bore of the wheels you want to run.

[1998regcab]

Awesome. How much did that set up run you? If you don't mind me asking.

[prerunfw]

I'll have about 1500 into the thing all said and done. Got the axle off CL for real cheap. Then bought all the stuff I couldn't make. Luckily, machine work only cost me a couple 18 packs haha. It helps big time knowing someone with access to a lathe.

My options at the time were: rebuild the 10-bolt completely, custom 9in, or either of the 14-bolts. I always tell people- cheap, light, strong- you can only pick 2.
