  1. Yeah could be quite the challenge. If nothing else I can turn it over for a bit of coinage. I will check the other forums and see. Thanks!
  2. Yeah I will probably pick it up anyway. I can't pass up the deal weather or not it sits. I am in no rush my truck only has 7k miles on it at this point hehe. Was really just curious since I got the offer for it.
  3. Wasn't really sure. I appreciate the input. I have a buddy who has one for sale and said he would cut me a deal on it. Figured I could piece it together over time and save some money.
  4. Has anyone done this yet? I found these adapter plates http://www.ictbillet.com/gen-5-lt1-cylinder-head-to-lt4-supercharger-adapter-plates-intake-manifold.htmlsays works with gen5 l83 to LT4 supercharger. Just wondering what all is needed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  5. I run at about 1900rpm at 70 on the highway. Mileage isn't bad at all. I have a 5.3.
  6. Parts were around $900. I got them from East Coast Gear Supply. Parts were 4.10 ring and pinion that included the Pinion seal, Pinion nut, and Crush Sleeve #GM9.5B-410-OE , Ring Gear Spacer allows use of 3.42 or 4.10 GM9.5B gears on 3.08 carrier #GM9.5B-RG-SPACER , Reverse Ring and Pinion #GM8.25IFS-410R-OE , GM 8.25 IFS Open Carrier 8.25" standard open carrier case 3.42 & up gear ratio #GM8.25IFS-CASE-E. Now I ended up buying the mini install kit. But I ended up having to buy a bearing and some other parts that were missing. May just want to get the main kit.
  7. Yeah mine had 3.08's also. I ended up regearing to 4.10's I am running 35's on 20's. Glad I did it's more like stock now.
  8. I am running BDS 6" with FOX DSC Coilovers and Cognito UCA's. I am also running a FOX DSC rear shock as well. The ride is great. Probably as close to factory as I can get while having a lift.
  9. Yes sir. FOX preload spanner wrench. I even lubed the thread area and nada. I thought it was gonna start bending heh.
  10. I paid $4350 For the lift, Coilovers, rear springs, and the rear reservoir shocks. The tricky part was the back finding a reservoir rear for it. FOX doesn't have one for a 6" lift for a 1500. So I am using a 2500 4-6" lift reservoir with the DSC controls. It rides really good. I thought it would be stiff between it and the spring but it isn't at all. My only gripe would be the front Coilovers. They are a pita to adjust. They should be preload adjustable like the instructions say but they aren't. In fact I couldn't get them to adjust at all even in a spring compressor and the spanner wrench. I need to go up just a little. I have some rubbing on the backside of the front. I'm gonna check with a shop on Monday to see what they will charge to adjust them up a 1/2". Hope that fixes the issue.
  11. Thanks! It's an AVS Aeroskin. They are actually pretty cheap. Think I paid $45 for it. I like it compared to a traditional bug guard.
  12. Thanks! It was a lot of work. But well worth it! All done by myself and a buddy of mine. Rides like a champ!
  13. Well no going back now! 6" BDS lift, FOX 2.5 DSC Coilover fronts, Cognito UCA's, FOX 2.0 Performance DSC Reservoir rears, BDS Glide Springs, 20x12 Rockstar 3's, Cooper STT Pro 35/12.5 20's and regeared to 4.10
