I'm in for this. Good job on the door repair. Looks like it took forever pulling.

My bag brackets are being shipped now, so im hoping in a couple days I'll have a temporary bag system up front done for a cruise in this Saturday. I'll probably have the truck in the air and ready for brackets to go in.... when they make it to the door. |

Before bags I measured 30.25 on driver front fender and now its 26.5. Passenger was 31 and now 26.25. I didn't trim the cups at all. Seems I can trim them 1/2 an inch and I think that would be an inch of drop if I did it. The plan is to go with 3 inch drop spindles since I have the heavy duty rotors. Right now I can put 90 psi in to lift the front and enough air to lift an inch it rides pretty good. I tried 2 inches of air and it was stiffer so im thinking 1.5 inches of lift should be ideal. |

Re: Made2drag 86 Silverado
If you look at the hose on the passenger side, that was where I should have left it. since that pic, and before I put the wheels on, I pushed the hose to the other side so it can be strapped down. As you can see that would have loosened the fitting and possibly created small leak. My plan is to pull hose back toward wheel and shoot some kind of sealer around the fitting to stop the leak. The minor leak wouldn't take much to stop. I think after that, I should be able to air the truck up and it should stay up a couple months like my other trucks ive done this to.

http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...psco2b7qtp.jpg Thanks to John (68Timber) for letting me use his idea and his paint! Looks like the can was $4.99 at Hobby Lobby. Sprayed the spare needle that's going to replace my broken one and i'll spray the others when I get a chance. |

Looking good! I see you haven't added your manhole cover yet - here's one with a nice price: LINK. Maybe put a hinge on it like a submarine hatch, just for grins n giggles?

got my Forever Sharp steering wheel and adaptor for $141 off ebay, and it was a breeze to put on! I don't even think it took 10 mins. |
Re: Made2drag 86 Silverado
I like that one - nice wheel!
