    adding Trac bar with drop shackles?

    I had a 5 inch drop in the rear with my truck (2" drop hangers and 3" drop shackles) and I had custom made 55" traction bars. Basically they attached under my u-bolts and were welded on the frame right before it curved up for the rear. I also had full leaf still.

    Wheel and tire weight reduction effects

    For ride quality it should improve since you will have mor of a side wall. For mileage, it will me minimal I think. You are having the same contact patch hitting the pavement so it would be the same friction contacting the ground. On the other hand though, the rotational mass should help. Its 4...

    Its just a base thing. If I decide to compete, it'll have to be this summer. When fall comes around, I'll be heading to an island for 4 years.

    My build

    Offset plays a big part with the IFS. Even with my lowered LBZ with straight centerlink and sleeves, 20x8.5 wheels with +10 offset it still would toe a little bit. I believe it was part of the fact the idler and pitman arm connections to the centerlink where rotating. If I would of got braces or...

    My build

    No need as long as it is 25 years old. Then it can be legally imported and the NHSTA rules don't apply. straight from their website - A motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be lawfully imported into the U.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable FMVSS. I just...

    Well for me I'm barely 5'10". More like 5'9.5" and weigh in at 223 right now. I do the conventional style deadlift with your hands on the outside of the legs. I am training for a challenge of getting 1500 combined simply because nobody at this deployed location has done it since they have...

    Haha Booster seat... Keep it Katie. I was done and now want back in. The only reason I'm not getting back into the diesel game right now is because I am going to Japan. Can't take a vehicle where I'm going. But on the plus side.... They do have R32 GTR's over there for about $7k. :D

    So I tried these Satan's Leg shredders Friday night since my partner skipped out. Didn't think it would be that bad to do 5x5 with. I almost didnt do the 5th set cuz it was getting to me. I did it with 385 though. Talk about a burn. Then went over and did some deadlifts. 225x8 315x6 405x3...

    LLY: Who should I get my tune from?

    OP, being from Eastern NC if you want someone to be able to tune your truck in person and make little adjustments to things to your liking, it would make sense to go to Dustin @ Diesel Addiction out of Wilmington. He was my first EFI tuner on my old truck. I also had Kory as well. Both are...

    Went and did squats and deadlifts couple days ago. My partner couldnt go to the gym with me so I said F*it and went and did legs. Have two new PR under my belt now. I weigh in at 222.4 currently and did 455 for 2 reps on squats. That was my 5th set too. Worked up to it. Then did 525 deadlift...

    Making a 4x4 CCSB Hook!

    My old truck went 13.65 on stock Allison with a transgo jr, 4" exhaust, EFI, and suspension work. I was cutting 1.72-1.80 60' times with 285/55 nitto's on 20x8.5 wheels with +10 offset. Suspension wise on my old truck. I had a straight centerlink, sleeves, new idler arm, new pitman arm, DJM...

    ^^^ What Dustin said. On a personal note, I ran my old LBZ at Kinston and even trapping at 106 and trying to stop was scary in a crew cab. I was in the left lane once and ended up going just past the road in order to stop. Plus the guy does EFI tuning. Regardless of what people say about it...

    Congrats man. Thats hella good lifts. When is the next meet you're lookin to do. I've sadly had to take the week off due to my shoulder. Where your tricep connects in your armpit. I strained that somehow. I believe it after talking to the docs and seeing photos of muscles and where they tie...

    I did the last day of week 1 last night. Did 295 on bench for 9 reps. Something is up with my shoulder so I am going to give it a rest for a few days or maybe even the whole week. Got some pointers for my deadlifting stance and the 355 I was doing was easier. I am doing low cable rows as my...
