I never talk on the phone while driving and my old flip phone can't text.     :laughing-rolling:

 

Sorry about the delay guys.  Wheels are here, I'll put up pics tomorrow along with the reason I haven't been around this afternoon.  Well, you prob already know why.  :laughing-rolling:   It wasn't work this time.    :eusa-whistle:

Well, I am ready to go get more horses!   :text-woo:   

 

I put the 22" factory Escalade Platinum wheels on it.  The 22's with the 305-45-22 tires showed the GM rake more than I like so I just ordered a 2" front lift for it.  Will do it next week and show pics after it's done. 

 

 

Does it look too much like a pimp mobile now?   I'm a WHEEL HORSE PIMP.   Oh help me.   :laughing-rolling:   :laughing-rolling:

Looks like the perfect candidate for a new episode of Pimp My Ride.   :)

All you need are the gull wing doors Geno...and a bumpin' sound system.

i always liked doing the front lifts on my GM trucks to get the more level look. problem is when you hook up that trailer and load it up, unless you have some sort of height compensation, the rear ends up low and that looks worse in my opinion than having the nose down look.

 

now i just leave them alone and run up to the max towing capacity and it still drives like it should.

 

all good if you aren't towing though......

Hey Martin, mine has the computerized suspension and automatic rear height adjustment.  Even on the trip to Jersey with 2,000 lbs in the truck with the 2nd + 3rd row removed and 3500 lbs on the trailer it was level.  I could here the rear pump straining though.   At least it didn't explode.   :laughing-rolling:  

 

My dually doesn't care and my little red truck on here in places has aftermarket air bags on the rear.  Those are great.  You can keep a bicycle pump in the truck and level it after you load.

thats just what you need for those suspensions to keep them level. just don't let it explode though, I've heard they cost a few pennies more than normal suspension parts!!!!!  :thumbs:

 

the 3500s never seem to have a problem, but how often do you see the 1500 and 2500 trucks with the jacked up/levelled off road suspension and soon as you hook up the trailer and load it up, they are squatting in the rear?

They all look awful after leveling and then loading them.  I leveled my 97 but put the air bags under the back at the same time.  I can load it pretty heavy and 20lbs of air do the trick to level it.  I bought this truck when it was 6 months old in 97.  It has a hair over 20k miles on it now.  :)
