What next?

BAMF-Z71 · 02-12-2007, 02:13 AM

Well, as ya'll can see this is my first post here. I've got a DD right now that I plan on putting some money into in the next year or two while I'm paying it off and then using it as a trail bitch. I'm pretty sure my next upgrade is either going to be a Truxxx 2" lift/level kit or a set of pacesetter headers.

What do you think should be my next upgrade while I'm trying to put the suspension lift off for later this year/early next.. ? The tires are brand new as well as the wheels.. so no need there. I personally think I just need more ground clearance, and I need to replace my shocks.. they are starting to squeak at 95k miles. Hydro shocks when I do the Truxxx lift.. or what kind/type of shocks should I look into? Links, specs, and why I should get them over any other would be good. Also, I always hear shit about Rancho shocks, I'm sure it's just a redneck high school thing.. but are they really that great for their money?

You will probably have some better luck in the Chevy forum.

Thanks, I posted it there too. Hopefully I can get some suggestions before too long.

what are your plans for it, if you want to clear some larger tires i would do a Solid Axle Swap instead of an IFS lift

depending on the front axle you want a SAS will in most cases be chaper than an IFS lift. It will require cutting and welding though
