no prob, there from a flea market a local guy make em, and they bolt up to the factory bench brakets, they were only $280, I'll take a full pic of em

flamingbig10 · 03-19-2008, 08:25 AM

heres a couple pics of my 5-7 slam 3inch spindles 2inches coils from djm and flip kit, c-notch, and lowering shackels from beltec

flamingbig10 · 03-22-2008, 01:02 AM

I finished my drop, from lmc truck the stock height of truck is 32-34 at the wheel well and mine sits at 26-24

flamingbig10 · 06-13-2008, 03:02 PM

I forgot I started this thread, I added a few things to my truck, Cragar street Stars 15x7 with 215/70 in front and 15x8 with 275/ 60 in back, and removed the drop shackels, because it was lower in the rear than the front even with taller tires in the back, and it rode like a wagon, a power steering gear box, it handles a lot better, about to add air horns, a new billet grille, new brake calipers, because right now I have light duty calipers and heavy duty rotors not a good thing, In the future I might add 91 blazer grille, amp and more speakers, dress up the motor with new pulleys and components, shave the fire wall, add a/c,

flamingbig10 · 10-15-2008, 01:26 AM

There 4 total in my neibor hood all the time

78 black and blue long bed
73 k5 35 4" lift and his brother has 79 swb 4wd
and theres a guy that has a 7? long bed on a street over
and theres about 3 others a couple blocks away
yes the panels are nice, I can't wait until I get my interior coverd
and reason I got rid of grille is because it was broke, I might sent the grille of for powder coated purple
