The Black Hole

[gmanpaint]

Thanks Glen!

Getting the bigger tires under your rig is what matters to me, however you do it. I got a lot of good height out of it with just the tires.

I seen on some other thread a comparison shot of your truck next to one with a suspension lift and looks good since it doesn't have drop down brackets for the t bars. I just want for it to have some descent height and still be alright to be a daily driver and your setup is pretty close except I'll probably go with factory 4.10's so it isn't a dog on the highway.

Depending on which tire size/gear ratio you go with, is what will dictate the way it drives on hwy or off road.

I am higher than the stock power band with 4.56 and 33" tires. So even with bigger tires, It is quicker off the line, and stays in O/D on the hwy. Rpms are a bit higher at 70 mph, and is in no way a dog. It has lots more kick, and passing capabilities then it ever did.

The Hole sits around 9"-10" higher than stock with this set up. I am not a fan of drop brackets at all. RCD type coilovers will be installed in the future getting me even more rocker clearance by eliminating my T-bars all together.

Who cares they're going on a dakota, my brother is the only one of you with a body lift, which you'll need to fit greggs sliders.

 

[Turdle]

But I might want to do a body lift, take Gman's sliders and put them on my truck, and put mine on the black market.

Then act like--what?

First I need to get him to help me with the BL shhhh

Well now that he has 2 wheeling rigs he needs 2 sets, can't have the white one getting jealous and doing something bad to Jon now can we?

What's that sawing noise i hear ?????

Sleep tight Gregg

 

[gmanpaint]

Woke up this morning and the hole is still sporting the sliders :smokinfro

I feel honored that you guys admire them things so much you would dip into the SIN POT for them.

Still feel a little tired from sleeping with one eye open :shifty_ey

Just curious as to how you obtained Sport trac torsion bars? And is it worth while, how much did they cost? Your truck is awsome. Very nice work.

Thank you very much,

The Sport T-bars were given to me from a friend. I imagine you could get them from a salvage yard for cheap. It is definitely worth to me.
