He are the pictures you wanted. I have tons of technical pictures I took during the whole install process if you want them. Just ask.

hey txfirefighter,... I guess you've tightened the jam nut on the track bar since these pics were taken?! Also,... do you have recent pics with the big block? I've been following your build up for a while. Thanks. lolife.

also am i going to need the shock relocater kit. i went to early classics site and saw what they had to offer good stuff. i think i'm going to buy the kyb shocks they offer. i have one more favor can you tell me what size rim and tire's you have. i want to get a measurement from the ground to the bottom of the fenders so i can see if my truck is about that height right now or if it's going to be higher or lower. thanks for all the help tx.

what is the black bar behind the axles? I don't have that bar.

bigstoys.....

I have 15x8 rally wheels all around. Front tires are 245/60/15 and rear are 275/60/15.

Basically, if you look at the "stance" page on Early Classic's website, I copied the bottom truck to a tee.

TX Firefighter........what shocks are you using?

got any part numbers?

Thanks!

I'm running the KYB GR2 shocks from Early Classic Enterprises. I was going to try and circumvent them and order the shocks from Summit cheaper, but ECE has done the homwork to find short shock applications for these trucks.

Who knows what the shocks are originally meant to fit. Apparently, they measured and found some off of some other vehicle that fits our trucks lowered applications. It's not like KYB builds short shocks specifically for lowered trucks.

I've always run either Doetsch Tech or KYB shocks on all of my vehicles and have been very happy with all of them.
