If you pick something stick with it. I can never commit. I get bored with the look of mine every 6 months or so and. Change it. Next step is to do a 2/4 drop from stock

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?

A slam to me is basically having to change a bunch of things including c-notching, a arms, springs, and cutting wheel wells

Pretty sure slam means air bagged and sparking down the road when laid out

My buddy had 2 bagged s10's. They were both junk and stupid as hell. Then again he didn't pay for it granddaddy did

Im only gonna go 2/4 so it is still somewhat usable

Thought it was one and the same. Since I'll be keeping the 4wd I've played with the idea of building a "street truck" next

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

If I went that route with my next one I'd do a 4/6 drop with upgrades to the suspension and steering as well as performance upgrades. Idk if it'd be a practical build on my firefighter budget though lol

I would do a single cab short bed 2wd and drop it 2/4 or 4/6 and drop in an lq9 built with either a blower or twin turbos. Too much??? Obviously a 14 bolt and 80e swap would have to be done as well

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

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. post-122306-0-63955300-1399441804_thumb.jpg

    • I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob
    • Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.
    • Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

    • Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
