can you tell the difference

well,i raised up my torsion bars and made some some shock exteders and here is the new truck before after
before

 

and after

 

i think it looks way better,and the ride didnt change at all,once i get me some 285 bfg's,i will be all set,and i have a grill guard coming as well

Nice......
 
Just that little change in stance makes all the difference in the world....It's even more noticeable with bigger tires.
 
Keep an eye on your MPG and let us know if you can tell a noticeable difference.
 
Care to share a pic of those extenders you fab'ed up?

i will show some pics at a later date,i would like to get some made up for a bunch of you guys,i mean really,if you can do almost the same thing for a little bit that you can for 300 bucks,i mean,who wouldnt,but i think i will have to go w/ some 33x12.50's now,as looking at your rig has changed my mind

For me and what I do, the 12.50 X  33's are working great and it really hasn't hurt my power. The extra 1 inch
of ground clearance from 35's would be nice if I were running rocks and what not....but that is a rare occurrence for me.
 
I haven't decided what I'm gonna do on the new '07. I suspect I'll run it for a while as is and then determine if I want to level it.
 
BTW: Kudos on your plan for the shock extensions.....I know people would greatly appreciate that.

Two questions:
 
1- Did you get it realined?
2- When can we see the photo's of your extenders?
 

i have not gotten it aligned yet,i will probably do that next week or something,wheni find time,as far as the shock extenders go,i do not have pics yet as i want to make a bunch before i post anything,because i am sure that there are plenty of people out there that want them.i fab all kinds of stuff up all the time.i build shifters,rearends,gas tanks for derby cars,i build mini choppers.heck,i even built my 72 chevy truck,and i fabbed alot of stuff on that,but it seems that everytime i build something and offer it to someone,alot of people want it,so it is easier for me to get some on hand,i hope that helps

Just out of curiosity, where are you located Hilljob......

Hilljob....How many turns on the t bars did you do........still on the fence of doing it this way or spending the money on the kit.....

gunner,i live in salina kansas
 
07  i went 2 3/4 turns,im telling ya,the ride didnt change at all,as far as getting aligned,either way you will have to,the only difference is is that you wont have the shock extenders if you just turn em........until now

from what i can tell,if you buy a full leveling kit,its about 220-300  and if you buy just the keys its about 170-250 depending on where you go,so im looking at somewhere around but no more then 50 bucks shipped,is that a fair price.give me back some feedback.i should have pics tomorrow and then i will post this in the classifieds

Looks good hill

thanx

Very Nice!!!

Looks really nice! I can't wait to see the fabricated shock extension.

Very Nice, I have the same color and new to this site, I have had my Hummer for about 3 months now and have installed 305-55R20's Radial All Terrain's and I went up 3 turns on the torsion bars also installed the rear clearence lights this weekend that have been mentioned by a couple of others. I will get pictures of the rig as soon as I can figure that part of this site out. it always tells me that the file size is to big
 
Love this site !!!

thanx guys,it now looks like a hummer,
 
h3newguy  if it is telling you the file is to big,go to windows paint in your accessories and scew it down,thats what i have had to do for my avatar,or you can just take them from your photobucket account,thats how i post pics,look me up if you need more info
 
extensions should be done today
