ditto.

if you're going for an in the weeds look, i think you'll regret putting those cups in.

lookin good though. when do you plan to have the front done?

cool deal

avysittinon22s · 06-01-2008, 04:20 PM

I put the cups in so I wouldnt have to drill into the frame. Im gonna start on front tonight and see how far I get. I gonna see how low front goes and may have to get rid of cups, but was worth a shot. I still gotta get rid of the rear factory bumpstops also. I havnt got any fittings yet. Cant find any in town except for plastic push to connect and compression, wanted the all brass push to connect, so I may have to order some.

Off the subject, but what is the center seat on the floor out of?

avysittinon22s · 06-01-2008, 08:53 PM

Came out of my 08 Avalanche, I replaced it with a center console.

joe231 · 06-01-2008, 09:15 PM

why do you need a c-notch? doesn't look like it will touch the frame, just curious

avysittinon22s · 06-01-2008, 10:06 PM

axle is resting on bumpstops now, gonna bag the front and if its alot lower in the front Im gonna c-notch maybe get rid of the upper cup. I want to get front and rear as low as possible using stock a-arms and trailing arms.

joe231 · 06-01-2008, 11:17 PM

oh, cool
thanks,joe

looks sweet, btw

I'll be interested to see how all this works out. I'm doing 20's on my 70 and i'm wanting the same thing as you...as low as possible w/out changing out the a-arms or trailing arms.

Have you purchased an adjustable panhard bar and shock relocators? I've been told anything over 4" drop needs that and i'm assuming you'll be driving with it at like a 5 or 6" drop with the bags.

hey im over in Dover get ahold of me . Where did you get your bag kit at?

avysittinon22s · 06-02-2008, 09:22 PM

Im planning on putting 20"chrome IROC wheels on it later. I havnt got a bar yet, I may try to make one or modify the one I got. Im in machine shop class in vocational school, so I may do one on the cnc lathe. I had 5" drop coils on the rear with the factory bar, but never checked the alignment cause I never have drove it on the road. Currently im trying to get the front bump stop mounts off the a-arms, came inside for a break. Id like to get the truck drivable on and off trailer and carry to GoodGuys show in Nashville.
