Here I go again

David12460 · 03-01-2008, 12:02 AM

So I sold my 2000 reg cab 2.2L S10 a few weeks ago for a '03 ext cab 4.3L ZQ8.

Old truck:

New Truck the day I bought it.

Tonights project.

I have clear corners on order.

My next project Will be a full car audio setup

I never had a problem with my billsteins when i was dropped with spindles... i know a lot of people who have never upgraded shocks and have no problems

yeah i still have mine, i never got around to getting drop shocks and i have no problems

02_blue_dime · 03-01-2008, 03:33 PM

thats because you guys havn't felt the difference when u get drop shocks and trust me there is one!

indigoblue2kdime · 03-01-2008, 04:55 PM

stock shocks work great. i'm dropped like a 6/6.

and good choice david! indigoblue xcabs FTW! is it a stick or auto?

Looks like you'll be needing an SD carrier bearing soon!

I went to remove the bottom nut to take the shock off the plate and the shock bushing was seized to the stud. I just pushed the shock/plate up against the leaf pack and clamped it in place. It made it a lot easier to get the U-bolts and nuts on.

Its basically a 2/3 on top of the ZQ8. It a hair under 3'' in the rear. My bilstein shocks ride better then my Belltech nitro active drop shocks I had in my last truck. So im going to keep them in for a while.

Its a Automatic and I do Love the 4.3L. My old truck was just too small for me and lacked some luxury features such as AC, power locks/doors and carpet on the floor. It was a base model.

And yes I will probably get the SD carrier bearing X-member

I got some better pics of the drop when I got home from work

TubbD · 03-01-2008, 08:37 PM

Sweet man looks good!

Now give me the wheels!

David12460 · 03-01-2008, 08:46 PM

You will get nothing and you'll like it!

ProTouring2.2 · 03-01-2008, 10:38 PM

KYLE CRAIG · 03-02-2008, 12:00 AM

95xtreme · 03-03-2008, 02:37 AM

David12460 · 03-03-2008, 03:00 AM

TubbD · 03-03-2008, 01:53 PM

Don't worry, I almost did the same in the Geo leaving Mike's shop.

<-----Still waiting on the zq8s. trade you straight up man

jakethegriff · 03-03-2008, 03:16 PM

nice man looks sweet! I bet your missing the 2.2 liters of fury though huh?

cpolaris502 · 03-03-2008, 03:38 PM

nice upgrade for sure. i didnt know your old truck was lacking so many options. if i remember right, you wrecked your front bumper last year to a snow bank.
