Re: First time posting official pics of my ride

what drop are you running? I want to get traction bars for my truck when i drop it more, but not sure which will be ''low profile'' enought to not touch the ground.

what size drop leafs for the rear? cuz i know that the zq8 was a 1.5/1.5 drop from stock, so what size belltech did you get?

And the traction bars, how much did they run you?

Re: First time posting official pics of my ride

The Belltech leafs are 3"

Thanks for the comments! The old 8.8 diff cover was soo rusted and after spending 2 weeks cleaning the axle I decided to just buy a trickflow cover. Glad I did since it looks awesome.

Re: First time posting official pics of my ride

The traction bars wont get in the way. You can use the 3rd shock with it no problem but it gets kinda pointless if you have traction bars.

Re: First time posting official pics of my ride

Nice, it makes me want a bench seat. I've got the exhaust angled out the sides like that, it's hard to keep them shiny with all the road debri that gets slung on them.

Re: First time posting official pics of my ride

Thanks.I dont think it looks too bad for being 8 yrs old and has over 81,000 miles. I use it to go back and forth to school and work and in the summer I use it to tow my 5x10 landscape trailer for my small personal lawncare business.

I like the wat4me tune. I bought a ecu from him so I have the spare all the time. He can change anything and has great customer service. I felt the difference compared to the HPPlll I had before
