Kirk's truck

Well, I started installing the 6" RCX lift tonight. Unfortunately, I didn't get much done. Between my neighbor who came over not knowing anything about trucks, especially 4x4's, and me needing to go to the parts store which is now closed, I'm gonna have to call it a night. I didn't get any decent pics. I'll post up the best of what I've got in a few minutes, but I can't borrow a real camera until tomorrow.
Hopefully I get a lot done tomorrow, but I have to work in the morning, and I have to go to a cousin's birthday party tomorrow night. At least I have all day Sunday to finish the lift. But I probably won't have it driveable until Tuesday, since I have to go get my tires mounted on my aluminum wheels (I gave up on doing it myself, didn't want to tear up the aluminum wheels).
Current specs on my truck are:
2001 RCSB 4x4 W/T - 4.3 V6, NV3500, floor shift transfer case - RC leveling kit cranked 3" (not recommended), 3" BL, 5.13 gears, 39.5x13.5 IROK Radials on stock 16" wheels, Flowmaster exhaust, K&N drop in filter, Escalade gauge cluster with blue LED's, blue LED's under dash, Sony CD player.

None of the other pics turned out good at all, but I'll have a real camera tomorrow, and take a lot.

Re: Kirk's truck

holy ****.... those are some serious tires, wow

how do you like that 4.3L? (i thought it was 4.8l?) have they got better since the mid 90's? i had an S10 for a year or so with the 4.3 in it and i have sworn of any thing less then 8 cyclinders cause of that engine (engines i should say, i went threw a few in that truck)

Re: Kirk's truck

Do you have no interest in having the wheels wider?

The 4.3 is a good engine, just not enough power for a fullsize truck.

I'm putting the tires on some 16x8's.

Eventually I will. Money won't allow either right now, and the lift only cost $1075 shipped.
