btw you guys will see the 10 dollar front .5/1/1.5/2 inch drop ive been doing on these trucks for a while. If you can take the front shocks apart in house you can have a shop to this for cheap and yes it will be adjustable by the grooves.

I just have had great results with that kit. If I do anything I might try to get another 1 inch on the front just on 305 35 24 I dont feel like cutting like crazy.

Was thinking of that. But I gotta get the front down first. It sits pretty lvl. So I figured if I bought a 1 inch spring for the front. Then cut the rear up and change the auto ride bars. Just gotta get off my ass.

wow those calipers are huge. they are gonna look sick behind those escalade reps. I like that you went with black calipers over red.

On a side note, were you ever able to get pricing on the black 24 inch reps shipped?

Due to being new I need to sell a few sets to bring cost down

the wheels are 1635 shipped and these are the 5 year warranty ones. Also the other cheaper brands have a much shorter warranty and many of them have the name on the company on the wheel spoke.

here they go

black 24s i think were about 125-150 less didnt get updated pricing on those yet

im a building engineer here in san francisco and I pretty much do all the car stuff on the side for the past 15 years out of my garage.

The V actaully pulled the cam out last night and doing a few other things in my garage no shop needed on that one.

Bigger stuff I have access to my friends shop here
