hell yea man looks great!!! You comming down to turkey drag this year?

 

Thanks, I'm not sure yet, what dates is it? I have an interview tomorrow, so if I get the job I may be working, if I'm not working and my truck is drive-able, I'll be there.

 

sweet brother, glad to see you're still at it and still own the truck

what's keeping you from laying out now?

and the black wheels look badass

 

dec 5th and 6th

 

ohh, I was thinking it was in November. I will go, if I have my truck still in Dec. Maybe I might still go because who is buying my truck is my friend. I decided to keep it and finish it up and get a few things fixed, and when I do sell it to my friend I will still get to see/drive/work on it. Might be a v8 swap in the future... I think what is keeping me from laying out is the balljoint binding.

 

Truck looks cherry and x2 on the black wheels.

 

the second pic shows how close the lca is to the lca frame pocket. check there. i got lower running stock lcas and bjs, then i did the lcas like you got. if you look were they mount to the frame, i bet your hitting.

i also suggest running belltechs upper angled bj spacer. will help you quite a bit.

 

Looking good Man! Glad to see you finish it up first!

 

looking good :thumbup: x3 on the black rims

 

looking very nice x4 on the black wheels too....

 

lookin good man. Did you put tubs up front or are you just running open wheel?

 

seems like a bad place for your valve/electrical shit. wont the wheel hit all that when turned? i know that switch dont need to see water either...

 

Your bags must be wicked fast with the valves that close to the bag.

 

looks good man... sorry to hear it doesn't lay out, it's gotta be the stock balljoint / djm lca combo that's keeping it from laying. You should see if belltech will sell you just the spacers that come with the bj kit.

 

doesnt ron sell a spacer kit?

 

siiiiiiccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!

 

JUst let some air out of the tires. Youll be good then.

 

Ya, there too fast.3/8 down, 1/2 up, it jumps off the ground an inch when I have full psi and hit it up lol. I hope the dumps slow down a little more once I put on shocks, if not i need to get a dump control or a smaller fitting. Im going to try either getting some bj spacers made from a machine shop, making some, or i might see if i can order the ones from belltech, I hope that does it... I mean worst case I guess I will just need to put some bag brackets on my stock control arms and get the balljoints

 

Ill have to see once I get all the wheels painted, but I think I might tint all my lights. I hate to just because it's so "cliche" but if it looks good I really don't care. I think I'm going to keep the door handles and now, it gets old looking at every truck with shaved handles, and I think the black handles add some good contrast I just need to some get ss mirrors. I doubt I will shave anything since I might sell it and it would look better how it is than with primer spots but I want to shave gas door, tailgate handle, and my license plate box and get an actuator.

 

i think you'd be better off with stock arms and balljoint spacers, but i'm an idiot.
also i think you are going to run into problems in the future if you want a wheel that's bigger than a 17 or 18 because the balljoints are probably maxed out. look into getting some uniballs.

 

looks awesome dude!

 

ya but a 20" rim with a 30 or 35 series tire depending on width is about the same height if not a little higher than my 17s. I just dont want to raise the uppers or pie cut them because I dont want to throw off the geometry and I dont want much camber when layed out, because I like to roll about a 1/2" off the ground as much as I can and that with a lot of camber and my tires would be gone in a month lol. I really need to switch to my stock ones, I just dont feel like having to put brackets on them lol

 

Get a solid plug for your dump valves and drill a tiny hole in each one. Cheaper than buying purpose built slowdown valves.

 

put a kazoo end on the dumps so it sounds weird. i'm going to try and put a whoopie cushion end on mine so it sounds like my truck farts every time i air out.

 

Ya, its just nice being able to adjust the speed

 

Yeah I understand. I did that on my Cavalier. But I only had them in finger tight. So on nights I new I wanted to play I could unscrew them without tools. And it only cost me a couple bucks for all four dump valves.

 

My friend tried the kazoo, it shot out, too much pressure lol. Ive thought about that, a whistle, or an air horn tip. hmmm, bt you could run train horns off your dump valves lol. When I worked at a paintball field we had this air horn we hooked up to nirogen tanks to blow it. didnt take much and was loud as fuck.

 

lol, that's funny.
