Do you think we should supercharge it? Maybe best we interview the sponsor to conclude his actual driving experience.
Wouldn't want to see him get hurt... :Nonono:

Better to have it and not need it. Even if its over his head, by the end there wont be a thing he cant drive.

Um, JoeT is gonna finance, we are just gonna build. LOL

It starts with an 87 K10, zero rates, maybe shackles, and ends with Grave Digger. We all know that, we just wanna help.


I have never had to wonder why my wife handles our finances.

Could also get a couple sets of Rancho add a leaves. They yeild approximately 1.5" over stock. All in all its what you want to spend on it and how much you want to go up.

If it were me I would get the actual measurements of someone that has a zero rate off their rig and make a set with a pass at a steel yard. Could probably get your hands on some drop off for next to nothing and just have them cold cut it for you to the right size. Now that's all if you have the want to DIY it.

Could do that. But $80 for all 4 is not bad. I would pull mine, and give all measurements if someone wanted to go that route though. I also used they're shock tabs, since this was a 2wd rear end.

I’ll take yalls word on 1 inch. Thats fine. If the shocks will allow it I’ll do that additional 1/4 shackle lift.

Will do 1.5 inch in the back and new shocks.

Should fit 32x11.50 on the stock ralleys just fine. Going to keep it stock looking.

The only other truck I lust after is an unmolested(short bed conversion) 3+3. Just too far out of my price range around me.

But I am a square body Suburban guy through and through.
