Spacers always impact the caster, as HeyYou said. Stewie hit it directly, always do an alignment following any kind of lift, even spacers. If you are less than 3" over stock, your track bar will/should be fine. Only downside with swapping the control arms will be the need for new cam bolts. Typically the originals never come out w/o sacrificing them. Additionally, 2" spacers still should be ok to avoid tire rub due to the pull back or are you getting some?

Also, don't you have your sway bar removed?

 

Backed into a mailbox last night.



That was one badass mailbox too, never even moved. I fixed the pull tab on the mailbox that way I feel better about it..

 

I picked up a new set of upper control arms yesterday and I will be installing them today. The power train is now about 95% replaced almost a new truck.

 

Yes sir it was MT I made sure it was. Still a pita.

 

Got my 315/75/16 Falken Rocky Mountain ATS's on today! They look awesome! I hear lots of good things about these tires, and I hope they last a long time. Paid $995, but I get a mail in rebate, so really $895. That's WAY less than anyone else could quote me. EDIT: I bought the tires from Discount Tire Direct in Longview Texas.







Can anyone tell me why my truck is slow now that I got taller, wider, heavier tires on the truck?

No rub, I just think it would look better centered. I will have to look at how it behaves with the new bigger tires installed before pulling any triggers.

Yes I do, and it handled the freeway like a champ today! I might put it back on in the future.

 

Picked up my new Fusion rear bumper at the local Con-Way freight dock. Took them 8 weeks to build it but's finally here. I'll get paint estimates tuesday and post some pics then.

 

Here's a few more pictures, after I washed it. (wash #2)

2x I think you should paint the black part on yer taillights to match your truck...

 

2x1972- Truck looks awesome. Nice work! I like your wheels with the chrome centre caps and nuts.
