PETARO

Boy Ohh boy do I miss that summer weather!

I know this is a rwd setup, did you get new upper control arms or a new brakeline bracket as well or no?

The day I bought the truck vs. after modifications. (I put the wheels and tires on yesterday)

My wheels and tires are finally going to arrive in 2-3 weeks after my long wait since January will post pictures once put on, will do before and after

I don't know too much about the lift but I'm going to take your word for it. I can see where your going/what your saying about it so I guess I know what I'm saving up for!

I have a 08 rwd sierra 1500. I am searching for all the parts needed to do a 2.5 level kit with the 3" spindle lift as well. I have all parts such as: 3" spindles Skyjacker shocks (have not bought yet in case I find better ones) Rear blocks with new U Bolts Rc 2.5" level kit ***what I am looking for now is the upper control arms. I have been looking everywhere for the "right" ones needed for awhile now and can't find them. The closest I have got were the Rough Country upper control arms for the 3" lift kit the sell. I talked to a representative on the phone and they weren't any help at all. Would those be the correct UCA's for the job? If anyone has done this lift or knows where I can buy them, please send me a link to the exact spot online where I can make the purchase. All help is greatly appreciated!

That cover is awesome! Never saw one like that before

Alrighty so I ended up throwing the 2.5 " level in the front but did not throw the 2" block in the back. The front sits 1" lower than the rear so it still has a small lean but not too noticeable. Still absolutely love how it looks and will probably add the 3" spindle lift at the end of summer once my tires and rims are on there.

Ha I don't think there is ever such a thing as too much and I am actually about to begin "volunteer" work at my local fire station! But anyways 2 days til I have my level on, super excited and will post pics when finished

That is still pretty cool though, a truck is a truck imo. I dont know much about lowered trucks so I figured I'd ask. If you go with the street truck idea, what all would you add/ upgrade? I'd figure that would cost a pretty penny.lol

I'm going to try my best, I can never either though. I average a new car (not literally new, but different) 1 every 11 months so I'm trying to do my best to keep interest and do something I'm going to love. I'm putting on my 2.5 level so I force myself to narrow the choice to tire brand insteand of size as well. I absolutely love the truck I have now so I'm thinkin its a keeper, otherwise I wouldn't put any money into it. And is the 2/4 drop considered slamming it or is it just a little lower than stock?

My tires are pretty much bare and cracked all along the side walls so its time for some new ones. And yea I know I absolutely want a 6" lift with 35's but I am not sure if this is the truck I want to do it to. I'm still in college so I got a lot of life ahead of me for a big ole truck. I have been going through that conscience battle though about lift and tire size.haha And Brandon I really like nitto's whole line of tires, never ran any of them myself but from the looks of it they are very durable tires with great performance reviews. I'm most likely going with the trail grappler buy I am still keeping an eye out for other tires til June when I go to purchase

I am looking for anything at this point. Right now, I may be sticking with my level kit and 285/65/18 nitto trail grapplers. How much did those run you if you don't mind me asking? If I can find a good 33x12.5R18 tire then I would run that with the 2.5 level with 2" rear block (if it fits) haha. Some say it does with trimming. But for now I'm looking at tires between 33-35 inch tires. Sorry the message is all over the place

You guys know anything from personal experience with federal couragia m/t tires? 35x12.5r18? I have read all sorts of reviews and people say the sidewalls crack and dry rot but when I talk to people personally they say the have no problems with them. So I'm getting mixed reviews...

Hahaha^^^^^
