It’s the little things. Finally found a couple of these factory Fuel Injection badges that were missing on the K5 and V20.
It is 100% those little things that show you care for these trucks.
I was thinking now they need to make "Carburetor" badges since fuel injection is the norm now.
Say no to carburetors
Did a 2” lift. Front TC ez rides and rear blocks. Rides like sh!t. Still needs shocks and an alignment. I really like how it looks now though. Also did plugs, wires, and new oil pressure sender.
Looks great man!
I said that years ago and some guys on here thought that I was too soft or something. I sent a pair of TC springs to scrap because I couldn't sell them. One of the reasons why I swear to never buy a "kit" spring again.
I agree with you about how good it looks though!
Yeah the shackle angle isn’t very good so I think that’s some of the problem. Also brand new so they might soften up a little. Definitely noticeable difference from the stock springs though. Also, Nebraska roads are terrible so that doesn’t help the situation.
I never remembered mine improving, but hopefully you have good luck.
Last time I was back to Nebraska to see relatives, I thought that the roads were better than here. Colorado spends too much tax money just trying to keep the passes open for the skiers in winter, so they don't have the millions to keep them in decent shape.
Forgot to post these lol. Not much flex out of the new springs but the rear is good!
Is that your goto urban curbin spot.
Yep my local flex test. I’ve taken many photos there haha.
Little update. Replaced shocks with some Tuff Country sx9000 and it helped. I think these are just naturally bouncy vehicle’s. Got a retro sound radio for my birthday. Put in some pioneer speakers front and rear with the radio. Got the windows tinted 20% as well. Changed plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and temp sensor. Runs a lot better than it did, but I think I need to check fuel pressure cause it just seem to be down on power sometimes.
Very cool dude!
Finally got around to painting the roof on the ‘88 K5. Always reminds me why I don’t do body work for a living. Looks better than it did.
No I didn’t.
