New Truck! 06 Crew Cab

[Camaro Zach]

Finally after 3 years of driving my sister's honda accord I have a good running reliable vehicle of my own!

06 Chevrolet crew cab. 5.3 fully loaded and 16,000 miles.

I'm cheap and I wanted to retain the factory ride so I went with 2" spindles and some custom stuff in the rear. I did an axle flip to get me 6" of drop and a shackle reversal for 2" of lift to net me 4" of drop in the rear. Worked out well and only cost me $36.91 to lower the rear. https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

New spring hangers for the shackle reversal:

Hangers, U-bolts, plates, and spring perch:

Hangers on the truck:

And the end result. I might end up building a bit longer shackles to lift the rear and also get rid of the slight chevy lean. Thinking about helper bags too but im not sure yet.

The only other modifications I have planned are color matching the bumpers, door handles, and the mirrors. Let me know what you think.

Thanks guys.

I have a bunch of tubing on order for the Camaro but it still hasn't come in yet.

Your fab work on those shackles is insane! The truck looks sick now.

Color matching is a very nice mod, clean and tasteful.

That sits perfect. Nice work. I'd love to do that to my truck.

Nice truck and nice work!

Thanks guys.

Once again i'm too cheap to buy a kit so I built a new intake for the cc. 4" 6063 tubing and .090 3003 box. $250+ for the K&N kit vs. $90 I have in this. I still need to find some weather stripping to seal it to the hood and either polish the tubing/box or heat wrap it but this works for now. LOW BUCK do you approve? lol
