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?

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

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
