They are 30.0x12.0R18 Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R Radials all the way around....They are pretty soft but I don't think they are technically drag radials, they came with the wheels as part of the deal
looks like a nice find! How much did you get it for if you don't mind me asking? Even if the engine is toast you can get a complete 5.3 for $1000 and drop it in fairly easily...what are your plans for it? Just repair?
It came with a 3.30" pulley, gonna order a 3.10" to start with, I would like to see 550+ RWHP on 93 octane but we will see...
Already bought an upgraded Varimax high flow intercooler pump (it gets freaking hot here in the summer!)
the TVS1900 came...this thing is heavy...I may get another 1/16" drop in the front when I mount this thing...overall very impressed with the quality of the kit...thanks @Justin for the best price anywhere!
Here's some pics...she is sittin nice and level now...its not a huge difference but it still rides nice and still has a sporty look IMO but it is def noticeable from the drivers seat, it does feel lower driving it...also it will sit an 1" lower all the way around with the CCW's...I am waiting on...
@Miami-Dade

@Galante

Oil Change today...first oil change was after 250mi, this oil change was a little over 1000mi after that....~1330mi total on the swap....
Catch Can After 1330mi....its doing its job!
And the Money Shot....Keep in the mind the front will be coming down another 1/2" soon, in the next couple days Im gonna install some new OE struts up front and remove a 1/2" spacer I have in there now so it will have just a tiny bit more rake to it...
Some Part Numbers...
Rear Shocks (20955430)
Rear PPV Springs (15200994)
Replaced all 4 of my Rubber Exhaust Hangers with new OE ones as well (15092802)
Decided I was already dirty so I went ahead and installed the rear PPV tahoe springs and some new OEM shocks to go along with it....the new are springs are SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the stockers...it was a 2" rear drop on my Avalanche for sure...unfortunately no before pics only some after pics....
well I did some work on the truck today....I have over 1000 miles on the swap now so I pulled the intake and the valve covers and re-torqued all the rocker arm bolts (22 ft-lb) and the headers bolts (18 ft-lb)...none of them were loose but it was nice insurance on my new motor and to make sure I...
