DeLone: Then, now, and along the way

[Thed]

crazy but i just found a 6 month old pro comp 5 in lift kit for $300 so if i get that i definatly wont have a problem running 31s

31's? That's it? I could go 33's before rubbing!!! 35's are what I'd do if I had a 5" lift.

honestly I would too but being a high school kid with a limited cash flow, I buy used, so im getting the tires for cheap, and plus, I don't have enough money to regear my truck so... Those upgrades will be further down the road.

Man I'm going to be a senior next year in HS and I just wiped out half of all my money on a parking pass and off-campus lunch. Thank God I have a job at Bojangles' or else DeLone wouldn't be where she is now.

You have to pay for a parking pass in your HS?? Man that sucks, I didn't pay for a parking pass in my HS or College I attend now.

Parking pass: $170

Off-campus lunch pass: $12

Bragging rights to all of the freshmen: priceless.

I'll be a senior too haha. at my HS its 10 bucks for a parking pass and we don't have to pay anything to go off campus. What kind of muffler is that? I just put on a thrush turbo and it sounds pretty good.

Sharp looking truck man! Nice to see another 4 banger 2WD gettin some love!
and nice story too, seems like u feel the same passion alot of us feel for our trucks.
these arent just trucks, they are a part of ourselves.

 

[Rose2300]

do you think you could take a side picture of your truck on flat ground with the wheels straight? the 5 in lift was for a power steering equipped truck and mine is non ps so the pitman arms are different.
I think Ill do pretty much what you did.
How hard was the install and what tools did you use?
Is Fat Bob's garage a website or a real place?
what are the pt numbers for the front shocks?

I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

It wasn't hard at all. I used dimple hand tools (socket, wrench, ect.) and some worthless stuff. With your drop brackets it might be a different story, though.

Is Fat Bob's garage a website or a real place?

Both! It's a shop in utah that also sells his stuff online: http://www.fatbobsgarage.com/

what are the pt numbers for the front shocks?

I have no idea.

 

[Rose2300]

how bout the model?
the 5 in lift isn't happening because I don't have power steering and the kit's dropped pitman arm is for ps equipped vehicles so the spline count is different that made me so mad haha. so I'm reverting baack to something more basic.
I think I will buy lift coils too because mine have sagged.
that pic would be a huge help though man
