i’d prefer to have the option to change the shock... Viking

I saw $850 I thought. $600 aint bad though. Is that for full bolt in front? Not a fan of those t bar style lowers that most use for truck applications. Ive seen the 99-06 model of truck break through the lower control arm easily

Those Belltech's are pricey in my opinion. You're going with the tried and true Vikings.. Don't sweat it

thanks UofAZCats. Took some more pictures of it last night. Love it so far.

finished up the drop. can’t drive it. too much negative camber if that’s the right term. top of wheel is toed in hard and any speed causes tires to scream. install wasn’t bad at all

Go with Speed Engineering long tube headers, Speed Engineering x pipe kit for trucks and run whatever mufflers you want and have the exhaust shop run tips before tire. I'm about to do the same and ditch the y pipe

Truck looks great. I would drop rear another inch but other than that it looks good. I like that color.

Truck is getting a 2" lift hanger now in prep for the flip kit so it looks goofy as hell. Lol

I will take pictures of my location and try to take some measurements even though tire size is a factor on where my wheel will sit after it's dropped with a 2" spindle and 1" strut.

Installing my Maxtrac kit this weekend. Pretty excited. As much as I want to go 4/6 I think I'll leave it at 3/5 for now. I have heard and agree off experience of the Belltech shocks still being rough. I think this time I'll make the jump to dual adjustable Vikings for the rear.

2WD MaxTrac guys- How was the install and alignment? Pros & Cons? I went with their 3/5 to 5/7 adjustable drop. Going to install it in 2 weeks. I will post up my experience. It'll be the first time I personally install a drop kit on my truck. Having the help of an experience buddy

It would be cool to see a L83 intake ported and compared to a stock L86. For $100 you can get a genuine L86 manifold new so it wouldn't be too costly of a comparison. I just don't want to pay for dyno time. Lol

I think so. But still should see some decent gains with bolt ons only. I have a local single cab to me that has full bolt ons including this upgrade and he's running mid 13's. Going to take mine to the track when weather cooperates. I currently have 1 7/8" long tubes, y pipe, 3.5" exhaust and tuned on e85. Going to see what it runs then go back after L86 manifold/throttle body/ CAI upgrade and see what results are to come. Aiming for 13's. Mine is a crew cab though.

Gwatney claims 9 rwhp/6rwtq on their dyno. Their ported intake made 17rwhp/9rwtq over the stock L83 intake. All while keeping the peak HP/TQ in the same RPM range as stock. But I have read it'll shift power a few hundred RPM's. For about $250 or cheaper it's not a bad upgrade at all. I'm sure the upgraded throttle body size is a bonus for throttle response also.

Wrong thread. Lol
