    ANOTHER New Toy

    Got this truck off a certain member.... Reason for buying? Sold the lifted 99, GF needs a car, she gets the 04 sierra with that lil magical 4wd button, and i can drive this when done. 2wd in the snow is easy. So now we both have baby haulers without the payment.

    2002 Silverado 2wd w/7'' lift, Texas Speed Cam, 3200 stall, 5.3, Camaro Headers, etc....

    Hopefully get it back to the shop soon and get started. So here is some before shots.







    Watchout Oleshifty, another lifted 2WD!!

    The camber looks rough....something isn't right there. I have the 'fabtech' install directions, if you want to go through it to see what's up. With the drop-down bracket/spindles, everything should be at a stock angle. My spindles were 3" taller then stock if I recall...almost looks like he has factory set on there. If the lift comes from JUST the drop down/ springs...it's going to ride a little rough and go through ball joints nonstop. That's how the CST lift was (not sure if they've changed it since I was in the market)


    I still have a 3" BL and 36's so I'm taller...and the nitrous should keep me faster lol. Body is in much better shape then mine tho.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    Drop brackets are rah-tarded. Whats the point of lifting if you lose ground clearance? Same thing with the torsion drop in the 4x4s. Yes you can run bigger tires, but all that stuff hanging down is gonna get caught on something.

    Got the front brakes on and the front clip partially on. Fixed all the ground issues along with some power wire issues, some fresh fuel and it fired right up. Not bad for sitting for a long time. Having some valve train noise on the passenger side. Hoping to let it run longer today and see what happens.
