[aggie91]

Really digging that interior!

[st1]

Thanks !!!

[st1]

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all. I found some old pics and thought I would post a few.

[st1]

a few more. BIG changes.... I love that big foot pedal!!!!

[st1]

wood bed, looks to be all buttoned up...
tailgate looks good, need to figure out the tail lights...
rear tire, its too high, I will have to figure that out once I get it back, I doubt the suspension will settle too much more... MTF

[UKNOWME]

Man it looks good. That suspension needs some adjustments though.

[st1]

TJ thank you and you are welcome.

UKNOWME, yes I agree. Any suggestions? I don't want to mess with the bed floor. I will talk to the builder tomorrow and see what he thinks.

Looks like you're running coilovers with that 4 link? Can they be adjusted any lower? I don't think the lack of a c notch is your problem right now. You should be able to go a few more inches before you will be needing that.

[st1]

Yes it has coil overs in the rear. There is some adjustment left on the coil overs but I don't want to adjust all of that out because I would not have any adjustment left. I think I will have them raise the brackets the coil overs are attached to on the frame or get longer brackets that are attached to the axle. We will see... thanks for the reply.

Just curious but what made you choose that rear suspension setup? Seems like you're losing out. I like the idea of the 4 link but I probably would've only done that with bags.

Some really nice work there sir!! I'm diggin' the bright interior!

[st1]

Thanks, Nuckingfuts. I wanted to lighten up the interior, I think that red and plaid will do it.

Oh and since the parking brake pedal was so long it was shortened but I just decided to go ahead and remove it altogether. I ordered a EStop kit and it will be installed. The button will go where the holes for the parking brake lever went. I hope I use the dang parking brake LOL. You can check out the parking brake kit at estopp.com

I removed the ebrake all together

[st1]

I saw a truck with a setup like it and decided to go that way. I am not a fan of airbags, so I kept the static suspension. I know that the airbag systems are SO much better now so I probably should have considered it before I ruled it out. I guess if I had it to do over again I am not sure that I would do it differently, just better.

Probably not a huge problem to switch to bags and leave the 4 link. But if you can get it lower with the coilovers then I'd just do that.

[st1]

yes, I am at the end of the build (or at least I hope I am). Cant be making changes like that now. i should have made them to set the stance then start building...

[st1]

I ordered shorted springs for the rear so that will hopefully get the look I am looking for. The springs in the front will get cut. Still looking at getting all the interior installed, had to order more hose for the defrost vents and the vents too. I could only find the door conduits at LMC truck. New neutral safety switch just in case. I will have some parts left over so I guess I will be trying to find a home for that stuff here soon. I hope soon. I will post some pics when I get some. Curious to see what they trying to do with my ashtray (something about a backup ignition switch).

Back up ignition switch due to the push button start system.

Has anyone seen the 2016-2017 GMC SIERRA DENALI grill? I might go to the parts department and see if I can get measurements (evil plan) lol.

Got some pictures in.

[st1]

one more... this is of the Estop parking brake set up.

[st1]

Still waiting on some pictures. Updated completion date is October. I had to send some sway bar brackets for lowered trucks. New rear RIDETECH coil overs. Those should get the rear ride height where I want it. The front spring was cut so the front is sorted out.

Pictures of the truck. Ride height is good. Dusty but still has not had final buffing, yet. Door handles are going to look SUPER!!!
