    Rc silverado front lift and skyjacker rear lift coils

    With the 3.5 lift kit lifting the front 5 inches and the rear only coming up 3.5 inches it feels kinda low in the rear and the wife dont like that so definitely going to have to order a set of c50r 5 inch rear lift springs to bring ass up a little bit more.

    Light bar inside behind windshield

    The one thing sucks with this is gotta pull it down to adjust just the angle. I thought it was good till I screwed it up. but I gotta pull it back down and tip the shroud up so it will seal to the windshield. I will do that when I take it down to have windshield replaced. I'm using the button...

    Light bar inside behind windshield

    While waiting for paint to dry stopped to go get stuff to make dinner. Got pretty much everything done to where I can assemble it when we get back. Ran the wires through firewall and up the a pillar. I used fuel line to cushion back edge of the shroud and got the seal on the shrouds front edge...

    2008 Tahoe Newbie

    Rough country 7.5 is exactly the same as there 5 inch just taller front struts or strut spacers so it's angles are all stretched out of wack. Put there 5 inch lift struts in it will come down couple inches but your angles for ball joints tie rods cv's etc all will be a lot better. If you want to...

    Light bar inside behind windshield

    At my dads house couple of minutes ago i decided to test the light bar and hooked jumper to the battery and touched them to the lights wires. Glare wasn't bad. Even on the side that does not have a shroud template. Shines above the hood and i can see insanely far forward and to the sides. My...

    Light bar inside behind windshield

    Western New York is normally pretty relaxed when it comes to enforcing vehicle laws. The visors hang lower than the light bar when they are down so I doubt an inspection would be an issue. Worse case might run into a prick cop who is bored or having a bad day and he will give a "fix it" ticket...

    Brembo brakes

    This kit is probably best for part availability and future maintenance definitely going to look into this more.

    Light bar inside behind windshield

    Didn't get to work on it yesterday today I scrapped the first brackets I made and made a new set that are a little simpler and fit alot better I also moved it back and down little more. I like how it's sitting now but moving it back causes couple issues first now longer can just lower the mirror...

    Lift Plans 2008 XL Denali

    Don't worry bout them saying not for awd if you get a double cv shaft they will work and both are good lifts. personaly I would delete the autoride with either lift. the fabtech 6 inch kit drops the front diff more than rough country kit does for better cv angles. But I wouldn't use the fabtech...

    Light bar inside behind windshield

    Got busy putting reverse lights in burban rear bumper and cargo light on the dodges rack. Only thing I did to this project is got brackets bent little better so they fit right and drilled the holes for the visor screws and wire. Trimmed edge of visor mounts to clear brackets and did a test fit I...

    Idk how much heat this specific light bar will give off but most don't get to hot. I will keep an eye on it see what it does

    Light bar inside behind windshield

    After I make the brackets I am making a shroud out of 18 gauge that will go around the sides and bottom of the light bar. I will put a seal like a car trunk seals along the front of the shroud where it meets windshield and I got half inch foam tape to go around light bar to seal any gaps between...
