Can u explain how it installs on there. Will my Filp Kit be in the way...cuz..I really dont wnana take it down lol.

cochino12 · 11-01-2003, 06:44 PM

really simple, u-bolts go around the rear end and the front part of the sway bar bolts to the frame (sort of). No need to remove the flip, I did it in about 45 minutes. I corner better than my buddies grand am gt now. Not bad for a truck

Do you have a 305? My truck starts pulsing with a hum at about a stable 1900rpm. Gets worse the faster I go. It is just the engine. I floor mine on the freeway to pass someone and it sounds like a plusing jet engine.

If you wanna better your suspension, you can replace your shocks with Doetsch Tech Nitro Drop's (if you havne't done so already) Then, I would recommend getting all new Polygraphite cab/body mounts ($75) and the PST Front End Kit ($220) That oughta make your truck like like damn brand new!

That Hmm.......Hmm........Hmm might be your tires.
Have U rotated and balanced them lately?

Blue Beard · 11-02-2003, 10:03 AM

Might check the balance on your driveline.......I've heard tell of this........

Are you sure the hum is from the engine, and not from the rearend...........?

78' Silverado · 11-02-2003, 02:45 PM

I am 99.99999 % sure its the engnie. Come to think of it...It prolly is my tires lol. They arent alingent at ALL!!!!! And rotation and ballence not in a long time lol. So I dunno.....It really sound liek its coming from teh engine. No I got a 350...and...For the susp. topic. I got the Nitro Drop Shocks

I will get the Cab Mounts and the Whole front end kit I guess. Since we are building a new engine I jsut wanna focus on Susp U kno. I think thats the route I will be going. Thx alot for yalls help!!!
