Start of the build of my 05 z71

If that's all the rust it has, bumpers are easy to replace--not too bad pricewise.

Prolly do the SS front bumper and swap out the rear. Not much of a roll pan kinda person.

Drove it a little yesterday and the front settled. Ordered new bump stops and the alignment kit from Belltech. That stuff should be here tomorrow. Got to love it.

I'm also lowered, along with an alignment kit, and my front wheels are at a similar angle. Had it aligned twice too.

It was raining yesterday and it was hydroplaning like crazy. So I parked it until I can get it to the alignment shop.

Are your tires bald?

Tires are brand new.

No more bow legs in the front. Thank god I bought the camber alignment kit from belltech. Maxtrac really missed this one with their 3/4 drop.

Now I’ve got to buy some helper bags for the back to try and band aid the ride. Then fully remove the bump stops on the front. Seems the ones I got from belltech won’t work on the front.

Next upgrade is wheels and tire if I can find some I like and these Wilwoods.

Cant wait!

I will trade you my rocker panel rust for your bumper rust! Nice bbq too, is that a bacon wrapped meatloaf in the middle? I like those.
