James! Where you been lately? Haven't seen you post much.

hey man, yea ive been real busy with classes and work so i havent had much free time. it sucks tho cuz i never drive the truck because im away at school, which kinda makes me wana sell it and tinker with a 6spd LS1 car that i'd be able to buy with the extra money from the truck. the car would get much better mpg's, lots of power and i could drive it everyday. but i doubt the market for lifted k5's is hot right now especially with the economy. but its the first vehicle i've ever owned so its hard to let go and ive put alot of blood sweat and tears into is (as most have on here haha).

hows your truck turning out? last time i was on here, our builds were somewhat similar haha.

 

[nvrenuf]

The build is going good, just slow. Between work, wife & 2 kids I usually only hit it for an afternoons worth of work on the weekend. It's taking shape though and starting to look better, got new tires and TARussell built my trans and we finished the doubler. Hopefully, we'll be installing those in the next month or so (this should really pick up the pace).

sweet, cant wait to see pics

Need some Lift advice

so im low on cash and wanting to put a 4'' lift with 35's on my 89 Jimmy whats the best and cheapest way to lift it?

 

[BlackBourbon]

Before: 4" front springs and 4" blocks in the rear with 33/12.5-15's

After: 4" front springs with 1" zerorates, rear is stock springs with homebrew shackle flip+ 2" Belltech lowering shackles I had laying around.
Also a 1" ORD bodylift in second pictures. Tires are 39/14.5-15 Pitbull Maddogs on 15x8 steel wheels.

Definitely some trimming coming tomorrow

 

[chaser0517]

4" Pro Comp Springs, 3" body lift + 35x12.5-15s.

 

[82355]

1988 V10 Suburban, stock suspension, 1975 K20 Camper Special axles (Dana 44, 14bff), 15"x10" chrome wagon wheels, 33x12.50x15" BFGoodrich Radial Mud Terrain T/A's.

The front rubbed pretty hard, (worse on the right side). I had to cut the fenders in the front to eliminate the rubbing. I had 33's on my 1976 K10 with no rubbing, odd.
