SupraT's Build

Yea id go 1'' lift shackles and then some longer shocks! get some real droop going.

And is the sway bar off yet?

 

uh yeah sure

Sway bar will be removed after 700lb springs, got a little to much weight up there to do that yet, but need to get the rear done right now.

You decide on that box Monte? working on a garage sale thread right now

 

How bout you just send me it since i gave you springs haha

and psh. Whatever! it'll be fine jesus. haha got 1200 bucks up there not being used haha

 

Now that I put that winch in I just think I will get two much body roll and plus I just rebuilt my charger and cannot keep my foot out of it

 

Course you can't keep your foot outa it haha

 

Hey Monte can you point me to a build or a thread on where i have to beat to fit 35's?

 

HA!..not beating man..CUTTING. And rewelding. Tubbing the fire wall.

Thanks Monte, wish I could just get away with beating the shit out of it, could of swore I saw someone do it without cutting
It would be nice if I could figure out a way to do it within the next three weeks, since my rims and tires are sold then and i will be looking at new tires

Ordered some 1 inch shackles yesterday and I am looking at shocks options now but will wait to order until I get the shackles in and see what I have, from what I can tell so far i am going to come out with an inch of lift with the skyjacker leaf Also figured it was about time I put a boost gauge in too so I will be shopping for that eventually too.

One problem I am having right now is a noise coming from the back of the engine bay, almost sounds like its coming from the dash it is one of the main reasons I looked into the rebuild of the SC. But now that I have done that it is still there and bugging the shit out of me, thinking it might be an exhaust leak coming from the part of the manifold that goes behind the motor, I can see a hole but not sure how thick it is? Or I might pull the SC again and reinstall the stock manifold and see if its still there.. IDK

 

yea i bet you'll need 10'' or 11'' shocks and some new bump stops. Get some foxes..then if you take off your damn sway bar..you'll have a killer full MidTravel setup..

and yea..there is no way to wheel your rig and have 35s without cutting and welding. Mall crawl it..yes. haha But ill be so damn jelly if you get 35s..haha But..you WILL have to regear at that point too....35s and 4.10 gears will SUCKKKKK. some 4.88s with the SC should be perfect.

and weird about the sound..might try the stock Intake i know thats a pain in the ass..but you could hear it better with the whine too im sure lol i also wonder if maybe its a bearing in the tranny? the throw out bearing???

 

Very good point Monte, I know my clutch has been going out ever since I put the charger on. So maybe that is the next thing I need to do. Thanks

 

Is its real high pitched?? go away when the clutch is in??

 

When i first start the truck it is vary high pitched and doesnt completely go away when the clutch is pressed in. And when out on the road I can hear a different noise when going up hills in 4th or 5th.

The reason I know the clutch is about out is because there has been a couple times that I took off at high speed and I could hear the SC spool but truck went no where, pretty sure the clutch was sliping

 

hmmm..yea well your close to 200k right?? Id get a new one haha

 

Yeah I think its due, just wasn't a mod so wasn't really excited to do it

 

Well..get a short throw shifter and twin stick it. And get a stage 3 clutch.


there...now its a project haha

 

Can't say I didn't already look at that But in reality not that you can tell but due to still being unemployed my build is currently being funded by my ebay sales And a 500 dollar clutch kit exceeds those funds..

 

haha yeaaa...thats always an issue

 

Updated cover page:

Well with not working right now I have been tinkering on the truck a lot. Took my leafs back out and tore them apart to make sure that everything was exactly the same between the two then put them back in and installed Toytec 1 inch shackles. Left the Bilstens out and I have a quote coming tomorrow on some longer shocks from DSM. I also sold my 17 inch rims and tires and replaced them with some 15x10 inch rims that my brother had behind the shed that I painted black with some 33x12.50 KM2's. I really wanted to go 35's but figured I will buy a welder in the next month or two and practice up a bit. In the mean time I have the fender flares off trying a new kind of bed liner spray on them. Took my tailgate off and I am going to try to relocate my license plate and LED on to it so i don't rip it up anymore.

Found out for sure that I need a new clutch, between slipping at around 3000, and the load sound that is coming from it all the time. Looking at different affordable options right now. And A few pics of the latest look.

 

Nice man.

Real 33s
