Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I will post picts of it once it is on the floor. We had a mishap one of my guys drilled thru the tail light harness so we have to fix it while I order a new one so I can drive it home.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Well finished the truck tonight right around 7:30pm. Unfortunetly had to cut my exhaust off about five inches past the mufflers and it sound like garbage now
![]() ![]() I received almost all my brake parts today except for the rear calipers I received the wrong ones and I should be getting the right ones next week. we will be moving my truck over to Raul's so the air ride and four wheel disc convertion could get installed and dialed in. Then a trip to the muffler shop once the suspension is dialed in. here are a few picts of before the notch and two inch blocks and pictures of the after result I am digging it even though my guys hat the big tire..Let me know what you all think if I should replace the tire for a 295-40-20 instead of what I have which is 295-45-20.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Dude I went with 255/35/20... I think they are too small. I have not driven on them yet but when I look at the truck its not enough tire. Yours looks mean.. all stuffed in there.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I love the way the rear tire looks. If you want to change something....put 20's up front
![]() But I think it looks great and will look even better once the front end drops.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Switch to the 295/40's!
Add some 20's up front. That's my vote.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I like the meat of the 45's myself...but the 40 series seems what most like. I will have to agree with lolife and Vac... 20's up front would look pretty sweet.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I'll have to vote w/the group as well & suggest the 295-40's. You'd keep the same foot-print but lose some of the excessive height (excessive because there's already a 2" stagger on the front to rear wheel diameters).
I like it!

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I think it looks pretty sick Al, I wouldn't do anything until after you install the bags, see how it looks and then make a decision on going to a 295/40/20. You might aslo want to go to a smaller front tire to keep the same sidewall front/back that you have now. If you go to a 29" tall rear tire and have a 28" tall front tire, your front tire on the 18" rims will have a bigger sidewall on the front. On mine I went with 245/45/18 and 295/40/20 so that the sidewalls would look close to being the same. Just a thought.

Truck looks great like always. I would love to go another inch closer to the ground all teh way around but I think I would have issues with the front inner fenders rubbing on bumps.

Raul and I were looking at his truck and we are going to dial the suspension to get my truck within a 1/4 of an inch from the factory inner fenders by using bumps so when it is parked I can have it as low as possible without any cutting. Here is a picture of Raul's stepside we were measuring last night and we are pretty sure that since we are doing the same exact set up on mine my front tires should tuck at least close to his even though his still has an additional three inches that he is going to be able to go lower. the other picts is with the wheel off to show what we are installing also on my bucket.
