4" Lift installed, 35's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Reno's71 · 05-30-2009, 07:53 PM

I got it back and Im perty happy with the results. I got a 4" all spring Softride kit, 35" KM2's, 15x10" Outlaw 2's, 3.75"BS. And 4.56 Gears!

-I like the way it rides, I think the clearance is just right. I need to trim the fenders a little. I wouldnt change a thing about it. The trans acts a little different though.. This is also a decent reference for someone who wants a similar setup. Here is a link to some pics.

Nice! I like the look of a 4 inch lift truck w/35's. I might go with 4 inch springs in the back since my FGB52 kit will give me 4 inches up front.

we are pic whores..... Looks good man, what are your other plans for the truck?

Reno's71 · 05-31-2009, 01:18 AM

in close order:

.Finnish primmer, get mirrors mounted
.All new Black intirior which I have in garage, chevelle steering wheel.
.All JL Audio speakers (2 6x9), Amp, tweeters, 6.5" sub, Stock appearing deck, also waiting in garage.
.Then actuall paint job of undecided color.

Sounds like fun!!! Just outta curiosity, where do you plan to put the 6.5 sub? Ive been thinking about moving my gas tank to make some room for a decent box but... gotta pay to play, so it will be down the road a ways.. Im just seeking ideas :P

Reno's71 · 05-31-2009, 03:09 AM

Thats a good question, Im wandering kinda the same. The box that I bought is kinda the same hight as the 6x9 boxes, which would go under the seat. maybe. However, the box is way too small for the sub. I need to make one that will fit and have the required air space. Thing is, I wont need a sub if I have 2 6x9's that will be amped. Reg cab truck. Also, I need to order the kick panel speakers. No sub I think. Ill save that for somthin else.

Reno's71 · 05-31-2009, 03:19 AM

My idea is to make my truck sound like a movie theater inside.

-Fully restored intirior
-Stock appearing radio
-No visable speakers
-Dynomat

Im open for suggestions as this hasnt happend. Yet.

What's not to like about a lifted step?

Trim up the fenders and you'll be all set.

Thanx for the possitive feedback. I will play with the saw saw today.
