ok guys ive had enought

ive done all the work on his truck

so he has drop coils
body drop
and a 450 pound box
THATS IT!!!

not even drop shocks

so chill
dont be mad that ur truck doesnt sit as low he has done nothing else to the truck
stop hating and talkn shit.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED TO LOWER IT!!

Im not mad clean that his sits lower, that is the absolute least of my worries, because If I wanted to sit lower, I would just C-Notch it, and bag the shit out of it.

Ill take those if Kasey doesnt want em. Im still way to high in the rear.

Ok, Kasey has first dibs on them!

true that eagle, I didn't mean it in a bad way I just wanted to know what you meant..

I'm not like you or max, throwing out part numbers left and right knowing the perfect setup and what will happen because of it

and your right I don't play video games at all but I definitely know my way around a computer, just take a look at some of my videos..

but elliot it would defeat the purpose of lowest static drop if you c-notched it and bagged it now wouldn't it?

I don't know what you need just start throwing out things to trade..

seems to be my new update page so I thought I'd post these in here

bowtie not done yet but it looks WAY better then the last one I did so I put it on
needs to be wetsanded and cleared

repainting the rims that color too since it looks black at night and true purple in some lights.. there will be no questioning whether its pink or not

 

[denalianyone]

i was loving the front end, until you painted the bumper lights all black. Why not just remove the amber lens.

 

[thehoe92]

don't have an answer for that one lol just did it and I like it so its staying

 

[89 chevy]

Ill have to think of something that I may need. I'll let you know!

 

[Modded]

I somewhat agree with Denalianyone, I say you get the headlight/turn sginal setup JK and I believe JDPromo and Narco are running, looks better.
Or even better, just get the headlight setup they have, then run them with your black signals too be different.
Maybe its me but I have always hated headlight lenses that are black, but I feel the housings being black.

 

[thehoe92]

didn't we just have this conversation lol?
should I get an SS bumper, with the street scenes speed grill and an HD hood as well?

I love the look of the blacked out DRL's, it looks SOO mean especially when I roll up on another car at night and all I see are 2 bluish/purple lights shining

or when I see my reflection in a window

Haha we did, gotta be different from the many Tahoes on here, trust me, my Tahoe looks different from every NNBS on here, so I do not set double standards. For what it counts, I just got a BlackBear Tune yesterday after 2.5 years of forum life all the way back to the original TahoeForum.
My only complaint is that headlight looks out of place on the truck that is all dark colors, that why I recommended a black housing headlight only, over the complete setup the others have.
DO NOT get any of those above haha, roll pan would be clean though!

 

[thehoe92]

I think I might have a solution...

your issue is you think it doesn't look balanced.. to much blacked out

maybe when I get my HID fogs I'll clean off the paint on the lens that way you will have fogs that are clear and headlights that are clear and signals blacked out in the middle to give it balance?

 

[Modded]

Perfect, though that may be kind of hard to get that paint off the lens w/o messing the lens up.

 

[thehoe92]

I have my ways

alright so I was reading Boss' thread on the belltech coils...
..didn't want to ***** his up with my problems


so ever since the body drop I've had vibrations in the floor pan more than usual..
..body mounts were loose.. impacted them.. most of the vibration is gone at city speed 40-55mph

then when I hit the freeway going about 80-90mph the front wheels vibrate a lot I can feel it in the floor pan

so this is what I'm thinking..
trailing arm relocators? anyone have a link?
a new hub? how much do they run
the rings modded was talking about.. link and how much?

and anything else suspension wise you could think of to help that I am missing with my 5" drop

 

[Badluck]

Hub centric rings for Boss wheels here http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/GOR1087810.htm

If anyone has found them in aluminum, please post a link.

Ok here is what I suggest.
Get some Loctite from your loacal hardware store, the blue one (middle strength) and impact of those body mount bolts, apply just a small amount near the end of the bolt thread, then retorque to 160lbs per bolt.
Trailing arm reloactors can be gottern from DJMDIRECT the vendor, just tell him you need the DJM RK2007 kit at a good price (looking at around $150), I would just get the whole kit with the DJM coils (about $220ish) so you can run the stronger coils with your setup, does not ride bad when the rear is weighed down, and you have all that audio equipment so you are good.
Lastly you could need a new hub, find them online (might as well do both sides) and they go for like $120 shipped each, takes like 30 minutes a side for install.
Lastly, the hub rings that helpd me out, helped with vibration/steering shakig from the 50MPH range, to about 75MPH, I rarely go up to 90MPH so I do not know if the shaking would have gotten better or worst at that point.
Jus tget some hub rings at the link posted above (you do no want the aluminum ones because they can seize onto the wheel or hub, and they do the exact same thing the plastic type ones do).
That's about it.

 

[thehoe92]

perfect!!!!

yeah I've done a lot of modding now I just want to get everything back to spec and get everything tightened up again

I'll try the hub centric rings then go from there

I'm pretty sure my hub is bad on the right side but I can check that soon

what about sway bars... any suggestions?

I want front and back

 

[Modded]

Scratch front and back, the front one does not make a good enough differnce to justify $150, the rear ones does though.

 

[Max]

Front makes a good bit of difference actually.
