fine you work on She Devil, and I will work on your old truck lol

Truck now has a custom tune done by RPM motors, definitely woke up the truck!

Highly recommend them to tune any of your silverados, they also tune other GM stuff.

met up with yellowranger1 today and he hooked me up with some nitrogen! Really cool guy, and a super clean truck!

Front coil overs were at 80 and 100, and the rear bypasses were at about 350psi!!

now all the shocks are at 150psi, and the truck rides way better!

will do, ill be texting you also!

Got some stuff done today, and got a little more to do tomorrow!
Here is todays pics, Decided to rebuild the coil overs because of this,

OLD vs, NEW




We replaced the fluid, all the seals, and both the shafts. Also noticed the coil overs were a little low on oil

rebuild coil over


Found out I was running a 500 over a 600 spring rate, I was told to get a 700 lower spring so I can get rid of the tons of preload I have, So luckily for me Ryan at Kibbetech had a new set of 700 lb springs with fresh powder coat, So I picked those up.

Old(blue) New (black)




And decided to clean up everything and paint it

you've done a great job fixing this truck up.

thanks! I appreciate it, Im finally feeling im getting it to a good position to use it and feel it looks good also!

Your truck is also looking good! I always have followed your build.

Awesome! Glad to see you picked up a 700lb coil. It'll be much better. You have to change the valving a little though now depending on how it worked before.

its all good dude! hopefully we can make a run this up coming weekend if things work out!

You're really doing a great job cleaning up this truck! Hopefully one day I'll see it out in the dezert and check it out.

glad those coils worked out for you! shoulda took front end off to paint it and put all new grd8 hardware in, looks to have some grd5 flange bolts in there. those tie rods should be stainless so you coulda scotch brighted them. looking good tho!

Oh badass! My friend takes all my pictures, unfortunately he is moving out towards San pedro, but I'll make sure to drag him along on some dezert trips. Hopefully at some point, an actual silverado meet can be setup and he can shoot everyone.

Great lookn truck man! I'll have to keep an eye out for ya, haven't seen too many trucks here in Santa Clarita

I am pretty sure this a friends old truck... didn't have a bedcage when he sold it though. The front bumper looks really familiar

But other than that, truck is looking good

Thanks dude!

Thanks again to Mr. Kibbetech for having the parts I needed!

Inner and outer for steering



and Per Ryans request



also took the truck out for its first run this weekend! Front end needs bumps and some clearancing, and the rear needs more weight.






and some pics and video for Eddie



videos
vvv

Thanks for the pics and video! One thing though... You clearly photoshopped and edited the jump pics/vids, or your camera is busted because it looks like I was only a foot off the ground, and I'm pretty sure I was launching like the Dukes of Hazzard! So yea, might want to get your camera checked out, lol.

You might need to add a touch of rebound to overcome the added spring rate. But take it out and test it first!
