Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build

Josh, you should have got the C-57s. I can speak for seeing them in person on Cochino12's K5, they are sweet! But, I guess I might be too late for that huh?

And, no one has to guess if they will look good on your truck.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build

Did you end up having to lower the front more due to a lighter engine or does it look like it will sit the same as before. I was just curious, I remember you mentioning something about it in passing earlier.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build

Not totally sure yet. I wont know until I get the new wheels and tires on there. I wanted it lower with the 350/350 combo so I'm sure it will need to be lower when I'm done.

Don't they always need to be lower?

Yes they do. I'm thinking I will need to add a part two to this build with some ART Shockwaves and a 4 bar setup!

Ooooh, a slight breach of etiquette going straight for the triple dog dare, but I like the motivation behind it.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build

It aint so buddy! I am going to finish the 6.0 Silverado and try to sell the 2007 CCSB truck. Then I'll just drive the shorty until I can find a running and driving square body CCSB to drive daily!

Good luck, I hope it all works out for you. It has taken me 3 months to sell my 07 and I'm trying to give it away at 13,500. Granted its pretty much a base model 2wd ext cab, but the book value on it is 17!

Hopefully it sells this week, I have someone interested just waiting on the bank.....

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build

The ones you got from me looked just as good. It's just a different look. Not nessecarily better or worse, just different. The ones I traded you seemed like they had a more of a satin type of polished finish and the new ones look closer to a billet looking finish. Not as shiny as billet wheels but not quite a satiny look. Does that even make sense? Heck, I wouldnt turn down the ones I traded to you no matter what! They sure looked good on both our trucks!!! I will try to get pics tomorrow.
