will do. lift is deff in the plans no doubt 4 in suspension and 3 inch body was the thought don't wanna make this one too too high. paints the first priority, still deciding on a color. someone shot out the idea of purple not on this mean machine hahaha.... any thoughts?

I like the blue granite and silver 2 tone. I really like 2 TONE on the 73-91 trucks,blazers,and suburbans.

PLEASE don't put a body lift on it, they look cheesy as fuck! Go ahead and put 6" springs on it and be done.

i love 2 tone too. I just saw a blueish gray 73 the other day it looked sexyy agreed body lifts aren't as nice as suspension. but a small one you cant really tell. its the tards that put so big of a body lift you can see the whole frame of the truck.i don't really want to go more than 6 inches its a dually, unless im putting semi tires on it hahahaha

IMHO, Anything over an inch is cheesy and dangerous. I've seen the extended bolts on a 3" snap and send the cab flying. Before the quaility of the Kit is questioned, It was rancho, when they were actually a good name.

12V Cummins for a box style truck. Easy swap and they can make killer power for low cost!

Sweet! I can't wait to see it finished. Good call on the RC 6". One of my favorite lifts.

03-06-2013, 09:58 PM

im exited needs a little motor work not much. starter,carb, going to do all new seals ill probably do all new ignition its stock and has only had new plugs. previous owner put some type of wingnut screw to hold the valve covers on... lol not too worried, its worth it its super clean underneath

It looks straight and solid. I think it's got the makings for a bad ass truck!

thake618

03-06-2013, 10:27 PM

its what im hoping for the only bad thing is i cant go any bigger than 35inch tires because they don't make anything to fit that wheel bigger. and for the 2-3k it will cost to make it work ill sacrifice the 3 inches

Not sure. Never seen them in 17s.

thake618

03-06-2013, 11:07 PM

they may be 17.... im almost sure they were 16 it hasn't been a priority lol. whatever one it is I couldn't find a tire bigger than 35 for it without new wheels.

Would totally agree, if it was 2wd. It has to go up since its 4wd.

I agree. 2wd goes down, 4wd goes up. Although I think my Silverado SS would look funny lifted.

Thats Awd, it a whole other category. I place it with the Syclone and Typhoon.
