Well she's a keeper after all. I've had this truck for a while now and have been really slow about working on it. But recently things have been accomplished. Going from completely stock and a bad throw out bearing for $1500. Now featuring :$0 Home built exhaust with a hollowed out cat, $60 3/4 life Bfg 31x10.50x15 A/t's $100 new stereo and 6x9s.
When I first got her.
After I put the new tires on.
Trail gear parts : $20 Backing plate eliminators, $145 knuckle and wheel bearing rebuild kit, $40 Brass bushings, $10 inner axle seals, $70 Extended brake lines, $150 14" Bilsteins, $50 14" Shock hoops, $50 U bolt flip kit, and $80 Creeper joint shackle mounts. Wish I had checked out Marlin but I tried TG first and just went with it.
After crappy customer service, unknowledgeable :moon:s and being sold a wrong part, I decided to try Marlin.
Marlin parts : $150 14" Bilsteins for the rear, $85 Front hanger, $75 Front 5" shackles, $25 Shock mount, $50 Ubolt flip kit, $90 Wheel bearing kits, $90 Spindles, $20 Backup J arm, and more that I don't remember. Also I had Marlin rebuild my manual hubs and replace a broken part $70.
Used stuff :
First setup was $150 for 4" skyjacker rear springs and shocks, 2" procomp front springs and 2" lift shackles. Rear springs are way to stiff, but ride real nice with a Washer, dryer and a bunch of other stuff in the bed. Fronts where OK but shackles where garbage.
Second setup was $200 for Marlin springs 5" front, 63" Chevy rears, and a dropped drag link. Got the Marlins on so far and They ride freakin sweet. Gonna fab up the upper shock mounts, shackles and hanger for the Chevy's this weekend.
