http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=182382. This thread spans 2 years about bad service, lies, etc. with Stockton Wheel Co. I have actually had wheel work done by them over 10 years ago. But I guess the service has changed since then. (I had two 15x8 5-lug ralleys changed to a 5" back space. That cost about $100 per wheel, buy the time I got them shipped to me. Ouch!) Also,... Nate has a pair of 15x7, 6-lug ralleys he can "borrow" forever,... but he's trying to find a set of his own. |
Re: Project: Blank Slate
Keith is right... I do have a set of 15x7 6-lug rallys sitting in my garage, but I just hate running borrowed rims. I guess I will just have to.... not that I'm complaining! :D
I'd still like to locate a set, but until then I'm in debt to another buddy. If I can't locate an original set then I will just keep looking, as I think at this time before I spend some decent funds on a set of rallys, the money will go in another direction for the truck. Thanks for the info Charlie! |
Re: Project: Blank Slate
I did not know that about Stockton.
Get those rallys on there, then go find a replacement set. OR, dip into the cookie jar for that set of Vintecs.:metal: If I go to Carlisle this weekend, I'm looking for some, for you, or just to have for later use for the project I don't have yet. |

Thanks Charlie!

Now to put an end to the never ending saga of determining which KYB shocks to use on a lowered vehicle. According to the boxes shipped by ECE, and after confirming the number with the shock themselves, here's the numbers you need to correspond with your local KYB dealer:
02-7002 Front KYB GR-2 Drop Shock (344068) 02-7510 Rear KYB GR-2 Drop Shock (344055) The numbers 344055 and 344068 are stamped into the shock, and is also part of the UPC printed from KYB. Attachment 485059 Attachment 485060 Attachment 485061 |
Re: Project: Blank Slate
Very good info there Nate!!!...Now get those things on!!!LOL

Re: Project: Blank Slate
So Nate what is your total drop on the Front and Back now?
Sorry I didn't read the whole thread so not sure, but did you use drop spindles or drop springs only? Also you are not running a power booster on your master cylinder is that correct? Where did you get your Prop Valve? Thanks, and sorry if this has been mentioned before as I just skipped to the last page. -Scott- |
Re: Project: Blank Slate
4.5/6 drop. All ECE stuff. 2.5" drop spindles, 2/6 drop springs, Super Track Bar, KYB shocks, ECE shock relocators, with a manual disc/drum Master Cylinder. (No booster)
ECE 6-lug rotors, calipers, etc. One stop shopping for a complete 4.5/6 lowering kit. |

Do you think one of you guys could get me the dimensions on those shocks (fully compressed; fully extended). N2Billet & I are trying to determine how well they'll work on a bagged ride. |
Re: Project: Blank Slate
SCOTI,...
I tried to go to KYB's website and find some info,... but no luck with my slow dial up. I have ECE's KYB rear shocks on my blazer with bags. (different shock set up on the front with my SD tubular a-arms) Nates are on his truck already. I'll keep looking,... |
Re: Project: Blank Slate
Keith/SCOTI, I just tried to cross reference the part numbers with KYB's website, but they don't have the dimensions of the shocks.
I'm not sure if a call to KYB would benefit things or not. |

The parts went together rather well; I just can't wait to do it again. |

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Okay so I have a question for you then. Since I only have 3" drop springs for the rear I bought from GMCPauls do you think he would exchange them for 5-6" drop springs?
I know you got your parts from ECE but wondering if anyone has any dealing with GMCPauls on returns or exchanges? And btw how come you didn't use a power booster with your setup? I bought mine (chrome) off ebay and plan on using it with my 4 barrel intake and Holley 390-cfm carb. Are you staying stock on your 250? And how does your truck ride since the lowering process? Thanks for all the answers as all I can do is dream about mine since it's still in the body shop. :( |
Re: Project: Blank Slate
Scott,
I decided not to run a booster because I wanted to keep it looking as stock as possible under the hood. Yeah I know the M/C and proportioning valve aren't original but to most people they don't have a clue. :D I am going to stick with the 250, much to the demise of several people. For some reason I live the motor and you just don't see them. After I lowered the truck it rides like a dream. I was actually a little concerned the ride would be to harsh, but it's like floating on a cloud, no joke! Keep the questions coming... :D |

Are you keeping your engine stock for now? I like performance so I really want to wake up this engine and have it really breath better! Thanks for answering all my newbie questions! |

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Anyone have ECE website?
Can't seem to find it anyplace. Thanks in advance. Looks like GMCPauls only have 5" rear drop springs so I need to sell my 3" drop springs because drop blocks change the pinion angle. |

Scoti/Keith, I bet if you called Mark or Stan @ ECE they would be happy to give you the measurements. |
