    Got me a new pickup!

    Well finnaly found one that fit my budget. Just happened to get it for the right price so I couldnt resist!!! Runs down the road great, lots of power and just all around tight truck. Put it up in the air at my buddys shop the other day, everything seemed to look good. Its got 2 inch blocks under the rear and the torsion springs in the front cranked all the way up for the tires to clear. New true duel exhaust with hi flow cats. Prolly will need new tires next spring tho.

    Nice looking ride you got there, Those rims set it off nicely for sure. I have a 1997 GMC SIERRA 1500 with 204k on the clock and it still gets just a pinch under 17 mpg (all around driving) and that's with a 305 ci. and it's a 4X4
    My rides, 1985 ATC 350X, With legit Lamborghini Countach paint,2003 Harley Davidson FXDL Dyna Low Rider,customised the way I like it! 1997 GMC Sierra is gone, primary mode of transportation, 2008 Toyota Yaris!

    Really, and you're having that much problem? I have stock wheels, 285/75/16 BFG all terrains....the fender liners are tucked a little bit, but I don't rub...no lift. Nice truck though, I have a 2000 Z71 reg. cab shortbed, love it to death. Typical problems though, my fuel guage doesn't work right, my pass. power doorlock doesn't work. Be careful how much mud you get on the underside, I covered mine one time, packed mud all over the front driveshaft/trans area and wound up breaking my shift cable, now I can't get it into park.

    They were on the truck when I bought it. The inital cost is high, but I think they're worth it. Walmart sells them for 165 a piece, but I've put 15,000 miles on the truck since I've had it and the tires have only dropped from 13/32'' to 11/32''. Boy I bought the truck from said they lasted him 80K miles. I really like them, they look good, aren't noisy on the road, and from my experience do pretty good offroad. I'll attach a pic of my truck...
