Hey...i like the set up looks great..!!! what gears are you running with those tires? if 3.73 (like i have) do you feel any bogged down or slower?

lousieg55 · April 27, 2006

Sweet looking truck man, I'm about to slap the Ford Keys and a set of 305s on my 2001. How high did you go with your keys? Did you need new Shocks?

all i wanna know is...why 16s?!? get some 18s itd look 21341413414 times better.

definately looks good though man. are those goodyear mtrs?

NO ther bfgs mud terrains, and i raised it about 1 and 1/2 inch what the factory was set at was what i put them back to then like turn and half more and leveled it out just right. the rides not bad at all, CV angles are the same as my friends on his full throttle 12 inch lift so i figured i would be fine

Whats wrong with 16s? 18s cost more, the tires for 18s cost more...and most 18s just don't look that great. I like 17s but thats about as big as I think looks good on a 4x4, you don't want that rubber band look....you want plenty of meat on the wheels

Your truck looks badass!! I just bought a PA 3" body lift, ford keys and some new shocks... waiting for the wheels and tires to put them all on at the same time. I have the same color but a 2000 GMC Z71, ext cab, std bed. Where did you get the grill and the grey GMC symbol?.. I just have the old horizontal bar grill and I want to change it.

lousieg55 · May 1, 2006

The grill is a punch grill just type in punch grill and you will find it and the emblem i painted went to my local paint shop and had them mix the same color as my truck then i painted it looks pretty cool, yea im debating about getting new shocks you will have to let me know how they work out

hey im still trying to figure all this out...

ford keys- what are they? and why would anyone use anything ford on a gm? i assume they have something to do with the torsion bars. how expensive are they? yada yada yada... any info would be great!

Meatywand · May 2, 2006

bout 50 bucks, they are basically the Torsion keys that control how much crank you can get out of the bars, the Ford keys are indexed different from the GM ones so you can get more crank out of them.

lousieg55 · May 2, 2006

Yea basicly that and usaly about 1.5 to 2 is safe which should level your truck alot depends on how your suspension is set up know and if you have lift kit ect my friend went up 3 1/2 almost and was fine but he already had a lift kit im saying fine as the cvs werent at a crazy angle or anything but would not recomend it but he left his at 3 and hasent had any prolbems
