I just got my Leveling kit in the mail today,will install it on the weekend.

 

tbird, i had the same idea with my truck, but i took the badge off and there were 3 holes. i decided not to do it cuz i didnt want one of the holes showing. how are you gonna do yours?

 

i already did mine and the holes show, but i really don't care since you can't see the holes 10 feet away

 

i want to fill mine with something and paint over it. but thats too much work. right now im ridin with one badge lol

 

southernblues....what type of rims are on your truck??? they look sick!

 

Hey bud

How did you fit 35's under your truck? Even with the 3'' lift the max you should be able to fit are 33's I believe.

edit: Also, what is your gear ratio? How does your I6 like those big tires?

 

nah you could stuff 35s under there with a 3in lift i can just barely fit 35s with my 2in lift in the front

here are the 5.0 badges


can you say hijacked????

and by the way that 02 silverado is completely stock 2wd with a 5.3 and runs 14.95 in the 1/4 it's a factory freek!
and no my mall terrain tires blow in the mud they just clog up unless it's sloppy mud then they are alright

.

 

Me and blue's trucks aren't 4-wheel, though. They sit lower than yours stock to stock. I think I could stuff 33's but not 35's!

 

The rims are Mickey Thomson Classic Locks, they come with a silver trim ring but i paid extra and ordered the rings in blue

 

hey bill take another look i edited that post after you posted by accident

 

Your truck looks great! Those 5.0 badges are pretty slick. Did you have your truck repainted?

Those 5.3's whicked. I wouldn't mind having one in my truck if it wasn't a Ford.

 

I had to cut the front bumper so the front would clear but they still rub on the backside of the fender well, that is why i am added the leveling kit. The gear ratio is stock. the motor has no problem with the big tires but the gas milage is is not that great. I plan on a gear ratio change soon.

 

yeah i had my truck repainted by my buddy for 1600 he also took the majority of trail damage out of it so now i'm more carefull on the trails but i still go on them as a matter of fact i had 2 cops in cop cars chasing me friday night for being on government property past dark, luckily cop cars don't go through mud too easily and they got stuck trying to chase me hahahahaha

 

Thanks for the quick reply, Blue! I always enjoy looking at your truck. Be sure to post pictures after the leveling kit.

Blue, btw, did you reset your PSOM for the larger tires?

Where do you live at Tbird? Be careful running from the Coppers like that.. Really doesn't make their night!

 

haha this happened in MD i live in PA so it really doesn't matter there was mud on my plates anyway so they can't do anything and we stopped at the nearest carwash (in DE) to hose off so no other cops would be looking for us lol

the place is right on the state line where one side is md one side is de so the md cops come after you just go to the de side and drive home through de instead of md and vice versa lol we have been doing this since highschool
