    Nice build I have lowered a few GMT 400’s I recommend to notch the rib over the differential it will hit on a pretty good bump in the road or you start to put some weight in the bed it will hit it’s actually in the instructions with the belltech kit bell tech shocks would be a good upgrade but you can use KYB gas adjust or the Excel G’s. 454 SS wheels would look nice but they expensive you could also use Astro van wheels or caprice or impala or square body rally wheels would look pretty clean also. Heck or some prime or center line’s or any 90’s style wheels.

    • @JamesDguy
      @JamesDguy  Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks for the input. I plan to go 1 inch higher in the rear to level it around. They make lift shackles which ima be using to achieve that 1 inch lift in the rear. So it will be a 3/5 I know most go for 4/6 but I think it would be beneficial to have an extra inch in the rear, since I will be still using the bed. Also, the shocks work really well for now until I can afford something nicer and the fact that I get to useful length Shocks in the rear is awesome.

    Lowering is way more useful than lifting it a bunch. I always get a kick out of people with their huge trucks, 26in wheels and tiny tires. They can't haul a gooseneck, can't offroad, can't get into the bed, etc. That's the point?? 😂
    Looks freakin sweet dude. I love the patina look too, almost don't want you to paint it now 😂

      I’m thinking 1 inch higher in the rear to level it. Don’t know a way to drop it 1 inch in the front. All it needs is 1 inch lift shackle in the rear For a perfect level ride height and it would help for when I put weight in the bed. Win win

    My 2011 Duramax is lifted 7” with 24x14s and 35 mud tires right now, I want to get rid of the lift and wana do a slight drop, keep the wides but get street tires , just a different look I guess, the lifted look is cool but I tow a lot and it doesn’t feel the safest

    • @JamesDguy
      @JamesDguy  Před 7 měsíci

      I like how lifted looks when done right but it’s not as ideal for towing or hauling stuff in the bed but getting it back to factor level shouldn’t be too hard then you can figure out how much lower you want. This one is super comfortable height I’m enjoying it
