And as far as shocks go I am def thinking of going with BELL TECH NITRO 2 drop shocks. But what is the difference between all there models numbers. They have the belltech 8001, 8006, 8504; They all say they fit my truck but whats the difference between them ?

 

Take a look at this powerpoint slide I made of what I want the underneath to look like on my truck. I created myself as if it were all the parts on my truck wether it be suspension or the exhaust. I listed the model numbers and pictures to make it very easy. I am looking for some insight and detailed opinion if you dont mind. And please forgive my art work, lol. But this is the only way I could describe what I want to do and what is or is not possible. I cant wait to hear the feedback !!! Thanks, M.W. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b3...ISETUP1JPG.jpg

 

8006 = Front Shock for 1-3" drop. Folks running 4" front also uses it just fine
8001 = Front Shock for stock height application.
8504 = Rear Drop Shock for 3"-5" but folks running 6" rear drop also uses this just fine.


Here you go.






Very nice list. I never heard a Cherry Bomb Muffler other than videos but i read good reviews from members that have.

 

SLT8 your awesome for taking the time to take pictures, and just go over everything; I cant tell you how much it helps me, just awesome. Your truck is BAD *** !!! WOW, I did not have that picture in my head it looks fantastic. And ur in Arizona, when I drove cross country I went through phoenix and tucsonl they were very nice areas. And thanks for breaking down the shocks because that was confusing the bejeezus out of me, lol. I just hope that I can fabricate if I get the flowmaster and implement the cherry bomb muffler into the system. Did you do a lot of the install yourself or pay to have it done ?

 

The pics were taken over the last month so it was no trouble posting them.

I have used the muffler shop a few times so i typically just buy the muffler online and take it in, explain what i am looking for and they take care of the rest.
I live in the outskirts of Tucson on dirt roads so the orange helps conceal the dirt.

 

Orange is a nice color. Some feedback I am getting is do headers to factory y pipe except by a y piece from magna flow for $30 for a wider opening at the fork. Then go into a muffler and just have custom piping done underneath.

 

SLT8 here is a tough questions. Do you happen to know what the factory size pipe is on the 1500 hemi from the headers to the cat, AND from the cat to the Y section, then to the muffler ? Because of how I going to run HEADERS possibly I will have to do some welding and need to the the size.

 

I am going to with 2.25" from the stock manifolds to cats and Y and then 2.75" so round to 3" from the Y back.

 

If I open the pipes to 2.5 and 3 will I lose the low end power ? And whats your take on the GIBSON GP311SC log headers ? I had been talking to hammer and I liked his idea of the lt pacesetters but I came to realize they are not stainless steel and I need stainless up north with snow and salt and what not.

 

What lowering kit are you using, and shocks by the way ?
