Important Updates:
(Please note that it may take some time before I can rate and comment back, as I don't check the site daily. However I will as soon as I can.)
[1]-New Announcements and Updates:
~5/11 The new upper and lower control arms are coming in tomorrow from DJM if everything goes as scheduled. When they get here, I'm going to put them on and also take some new pictures of the setup and the long awaited pictures of under the hood. Hopefully this will answer some questions that you might be having on whether the truck actually has what I say it has. I assure you that everything I've stated concerning the truck is fact.
~5/07 I just got off the phone with DJM, and their shipping me a set of Lower Control Arms to drop the truck another 3 inches, as well as a set of Upper Control Arms to keep the truck in alignment. I had to have them custom made, because the truck still has the torsion bar front suspension used on the GM four wheel drive models. Hopefully everything will get here like yesterday.

After I finish with the lowering parts I'm going to concentrate on adding some more power, since the exterior of the truck will hopefully be satifactory for now. I intend to get underdrive pulleys, electric fans, a custom MAF sensor, and then on into the major mods such as complete engine rebuild from intake down to oil pan. Some of those upgrades will include a Comp Cams LS6 FAST Intake and throttle body, Eagle Specialties Stroker kit, and a Head Combo kit made by Trickflow. I'll keep you updated, but it should be very soon.
