Never Ending Project - 1997 GMC Sierra

[Riggs]

and today i ordered front differential drop brackets and upper control arms from superlift..that way i can get the extra 1/2" so the front is the same height as the back

i already have shocks, keys, and a add-a-leaf so i just need that stuff and i should be good.

i also plan on ordering a HID kit from vvme.com next friday in 6000K for my lows/daytime running lights

so what are you saying? switching diffs is redneck or something?

btw after i get the front up that extra 1/2, i would like to put a 1/2" block in the back but nobody makes a 1/2" block, and idk if i can get a whole 1" out of the front i doubt it.

im also considering a 2" bodylift with both front and rear bumper brackets and gap gaurds, ive been seeing TONS of lifted trucks and i know that i could lift mine 3-4" more fairly cheap. and would look good

i wasntsure if you were referring to putting a buncof stuff on my truck like my old truck...

the diff drop brackets are going to be realy nice so i dont wreck anything i the front end and get an exra 1/2" and i would like to do a 2" body lift for little exra height and the tires are going to raise it about .6"

i want to get my truck sitting a little higher...

So anyways heres the rundown of things to come:

Ordered - but will take a couple weeks to get

Superlift 2-3" Differential Drop Brackets Only
New Pitman Arm
285/75/16 ProComp All Terrains

Soon:

Superlift Upper Control Arms
Alignment
New Seals In Front Diff
Gear Oil For Front Diff
Put In Front Diff
1" Lift Block Rear

Fender Heights will be:

Front 38"
Rear 39"

almost a full 3" lift in back and 3 in front too

although i was reading guys that installed the 2-3" kits were getting 39-39 1/2" in front for a fender height and then were complaining about ball joints wearing and stuff, i am only looking to get a 1/2 more than right now with no drop brackets and upper control arms so i think what im looking to do is alright

found a good spot for my August prize

cody the front diff drop brakets seem like a good idea, let me know when you get them in how they work. it would be nice to reduce some axle angle in my truck.

 

[Riggs]

yea, thats why i am getting them, although new cv shafts are cheap i would like to get another 1/2" of lift out of the front of mine..

but it does require cutting the drivers side lower mount off and bolting a new one on...

i wont be doing any cutting unless i think they are worth putting on, if not i will send them back

i bought a UWS Toolbox today.. ive wanted to for a while so i decided to do it..

i also had to cut my cover down a little bit, it was cheap and its all snaps so it can be easily cut and sewn back together, i just have to drop it off at a local canvas shop..

Good job Cody. I like United Welding's stuff.

 

[Riggs]

That's a good looking box Cody.

thanks, i needed a place to keep some things, other than the backseat, and i also have a sub box under the whole rear seat so that takes up some more room..

its just nice having some extra storage.

i got the box for $223.08 , it is brand new
