  1. I don't know, I guess I'm just old school, but pouring oil into the valve cover directly has never been a problem for me.
  2. Ah, I read springs and immediately think rear leafs. Always referred to the fronts as coils. (Unless old leaf spring 4x4's)
  3. You can get 3.25" of drop in the back with just shackles and removing the block. Do you even need the springs.
  4. Took it for breakfast this morning.
  5. Hopefully last pic before the 2/5 drop goes on.
  6. 2/5 is the target for now.
  7. I've already dropped the back with shackles and removing the block and theres still a bit of rake, that's why I'm thinking 2/5.
  8. Does anyone have a part # for 4x4 drop spindles? I'm only going 2/5 for the same reason I only do leveling kits. I like the mostly stock look, just a little difference. And I'm not looking to mess with shortening the driveshaft. Should I consider shims with a 5" drop in the back?
  9. Just want to verify before I order, is this good for a 2/5 drop? 2018 Sierra rcsb 4x4. Keep in mind its Canadian pricing. Sorry to keep asking, just hate spending money twice.
  10. I'm sure it's been asked and I'm sorry for asking again. But, does the driveshaft on a regular cab need to be shortened with a 5-6" flip kit? Now that the Sierra is a summer only truck I want to lower it more than just the shackles. But I don't want to go so low that I need to cutting on the truck (notch, driveshaft and such). I like the look of the 2/5 drops I'm seeing, and even thought about s 3/6 drop. If I do the 2/5, are the belltech struts any good? May go that route first, then if I want lower I can do the spindles. And does anyone have a PN# for belltech pr anyone's 4wd drop spindles? I think this winter I'll get the stance right. Then next winter AFM delete, with headers, intake, tune and exhaust.
  11. I beg to differ on the stupidity lol...
  12. Low pay or not, if the shop offers both and they pull off the stick-on weights, they'd better be putting stick-on weights back on. And if a shop isn't offering both, they are losing business. Both my 20's and 22's will not take the traditional lip weights. There is no lip to mount them to.
  13. Put it away for the winter.
  14. Installed some lights in the garage finally. No more cave like ambience with the door closed. And put the truck away afterwards. Might have to get it out one more time if the winter beater doesn't pass inspection Monday.
  15. That will perform much better offroad, then your last truck.
  16. If he's a stormtrooper he's on the wrong side and is more than likely going to die taking a turn to wide and flying into a n asteroid.
  17. The Rancho shocks
  18. Little before and after, the drop shackles.
  19. I can only upload shitty pictures from my phone, because of the sites shitty 4.88MB pic size limit. But heres a clean pic after the week and a half of rain we've had.
  20. Any side pics I've been thanking about a topper for the winter. Curious how they look on a rcsb.
  21. Would look awesome with a 2" level and the sport sticker gone.
  22. Sorry I will correct myself. Muscle does still exist, just not in cars. You can get a stripped down Sierra/Silverado, Ram and F150 with a V8 for cheap. That's where the muscle car legacy lives on.
  23. Another point as to why they don't make muscle cars anymore. They were the stripper cars. No options but horsepower. I would love a new Camaro with a 6.2 and stick without options, for around $35k then the muscle car would be back. But the last time they did that they charged more, the Z28. Further cementing the death of the muscle car. Looking online I've seen ls6 prices from $3300-3500. With inflation that's right around $23k. Bring the market into play and you at probably $40 if they still made them. Which in my mind would still mean, the muscle car died in the 70's. They've priced them out of existence. They make performance cars now, not muscle cars. The muscle car died somewhere between 72 and 75.
  24. Ls6 Chevelle with inflation would be $23k today. Compared to what $40k for a 1SS. Hardly seems comparable. We have performance luxury cars nowadays, muscle cars died in 1972 when emissions, insurance, and fuel prices killed them off. There are faster cars now, but they just aren't Muscle cars, they are performance cars. IMO
