    Ray Lobato Los Banos, California

    Ok 2 or 3 inch body lift? The advantages are 32's? I thought I could get 32's with 2 inches. What does trimming the fenders mean and what does it entail? As for fender flares, I recommend them. Since I went to 31's I have noticed more rock chips on the side of the truck. I would like to...

    Ray Lobato Los Banos, California

    Well I will have to visit my local offroad builder and order a 2" lift for install. Then have to find some 32's. I want the suspension but think I might stop there and buy a jeep and put the $1300 into it for a 6" lift.

    Ray Lobato Los Banos, California

    Not exactly your weekend project. I think I will start with the 2" BL. I have enough there to be modified. Can I get a bigger tire than the 31's with a 2" BL? I think it will look a little dumb with 31's. Let me guess there will be some rub when turning with 32's and a BL.

    Nitrogen in tires

    Different colors of wire are good to use, it's properties are the same as other colored wire, but it keeps you from blowing ur house up when connecting them.

    Nitrogen in tires

    Sounds like more a pain than anything else. Think about this though...gases expand when heated, the expansion properites of air are known (generally) what about Nitrogen? How much does it expand/contract at a given temperature? As an electrician I have access to all the electrical wire I...

    Ray Lobato Los Banos, California

    Ray I have a 97 too and am interested in the same look you have achieved. Two questions, did you do the body and suspension lifts yourself? Second what approximately would you have to pay for just the suspension/body lifts. I plan to download your specs and take them to my local offroad shop...

    KC Lights

    I am thinking of putting some KC lights on my brush bar on the front. I was looking at the black 6" round, I live in a northern climate with salt and wondering about the finish quality. Also what about disassembling them and painting them with some bedliner type spray. I am not sure of the...

    can dome lights slowly dim off

    Two things first of all do a thread search, this topic was discussed about 3 months ago by a different group. See if their ideas give you a jumpstart. Second look on a diagram for a nissan that has dimming lights, or any car that has one. If the diagram specifies a module then order it from...

    negative camber on my 97?

    Yeah I have fallen to the Ball Joint God. My Ball joints were good then after my lift and a little over confidant off-roading i decided to get an alignment. That is when the Ball Joint God had me. I got the lowers done (greasable) and luckilly I didnt need the adjusters for the top. So I...

    Is there a 1" body lift made?

    Having not done a BL or seen one, I have no idea what is involved or what hastles I could run into. I am not sure what a shop in my area would charge. I would like the lift only if: the bumpers were raised, the tow hitch at the rear of my truck looks like it does now, and my brush bar on the...

    help with calculating milage with bigger tires

    Rob I agree with your math but in my experience when you purchase a car, the speedo isnt always right. Just try the 60 sec 1 mile and you may or may not notice that on some cars. Me I am not too good at measuring using those small lines on a measuring tape.
