So 4.10's are not enough gear for 37" tires being propelled by a 6.2 diesel with a TH700R4 behind it.......

Put plates and insurance on it today, so I figured it should have some tail lights.
I got fancy.
I stole a set of shocks off of a parts rig with a 6" lift. This cracked me up. I gues you use what you have.

Also not stock gm.... Surprised he isn't pulling his hair out over that.....
I realized it after I did it, but lost the ambition to drill more holes.

I have piles of GM tail lights, why would I buy something else for a temporary fix???

I think I am going to buy the DIY4X crossover setup. Anyone else buy it yet?

In between hours of binge reading NorCalX (Mike, or 69, or something, I blame the use of "NorCal" on my confusion), I did find a little time on Wednesday to work on this thing.
Pulled the 6" Tuff Country EZ-Ride lift springs from the front of this cobbled parts rig.
Here is the bump stop to top of spring pack with the rearched factory springs.
Here is the same measurement with the Tuff Country springs.
This picture was actually taken one minute after that ^ picture. I don't care for my new iPhone (it's actually a loaner, but it's newer than the one I had).
Tuff Country limit straps.....
Apparently Tuff Country specs the same shock for their 4" and 6" lift. How??? For some odd reason, one front shock was shot, the other one was perfect. This thing was lifted, and then never really used. The tires had zero miles on them. It was an unfinished project. I was a little surprised a shock could go bad sitting around not being used. I figured I would just buy a new matching one, just to have a matching set for now. Wow, are these a short shock. They are 14.25" collapsed and 23" extended.
Also I found out, that Tuff Country stamps a different number on their shocks, than they use in their books. Why, I have no idea???

That's weird about the shock going bad.
Was there oil on the outside of it? Could you tell if a seal just let go?

I already ordered it. It is going to be Wade's wedding present from me.

Sits pretty level with the 6" Tuff Country springs on the front.

I sure do like the wheels/color choice.
Thank you.
I hate black wheels with a passion, so they had to be painted.
