You would have had a little less squat if you would've moved the car back on the trailer a bit, centered more over the axles.

Thanks dudes.


I still haven't wrapped the other chrome trim lol. Not really motivated.

I must not have enough posts because I can't post some items for sale :(

I do have some red OEM GM LED tails if interested.

I'll take the red tail lights if they are available

Shocks are probabky fine. I would invest in the airlift 2000 helper bags. I have them on my 07 yukon slt for when I tow to level the back out. At ~100, they aren't bad. I installed them when I put my belltech 2" lowering springs on.

I'm down here in Monroe.


Oddly enough I'm not in love with the 2v modular.

It's a 2001 Bullitt with a complete 03/04 Cobra 4v terminator swap. 4v T56 and IRS.

I recently sold the Whipple set up and now pursuing a twin 62/62 turbo set up with a now stroked 5.0 4v mod motor.

New mods for the caddy lack coming very soon! Thanks for the kind words.

Haven't updated this in a long time,

Finished blacking out the chrome bits.

Friend repainted the mirrors for me and I wrapped the rest of the items.

Tony Hooked me up with 24'' TBSS Reps in Gray, and I installed 305 Nitto's.

Tony then hooked me up with a 2/4 drop with all the fixin's.

A friend took my headlights apart and blacked out the chrome and did a minor tint clear coat. They turned out a bit darker than anticipated so we plan to wet sand the tinted clear back off and respray with 100% clear. Along with matching the fog lights.

I also had another friend wrap the interior in carbon fiber for me. I hated the wood grain. It turned out great. I found a local salvage yard with surplus interior parts and scored a brand new center console with new lid too, Mine was ripped from the glass shards. I don't have pics of it installed.

I also tracked down one of the last heated ebony steering wheels from an LTZ Suburban that GM had left in their new parts inventory. Feels really nice, I hated the cheap wood grain stock one.

Few pics, enjoy thanks.

Also debating on removing the roof rack, opinions?
