Daryl Z71's 2006 Silverado Z71 Re-build

But the indicator one is cool

I actually don't like it all that much...

Looking forward to this. Any plans to lift or level? If so I'd go to 4.10s at least. It may just be that my truck is so old but the 3.73s and 33x12.5s is no beuno

Probably the only thing I'll do is level it. I'd like to take care of that soon, but I don't think cranking up the torsion bars will do to much because their probably worn out... I'm afraid to add keys too because I'm not sure if the torsion bars will handle that either.

Well it can't be much worse than mine. One of the bars seems to be bending over the years but o well. Keys are cheap enough I suppose

I don't really understand leveling. I like to be able to load it down without sticking the nose it the air.

I found a set of 2" for a little over $100 on Summit.

I don't like them completely level for that reason, but I don't like a lot of rake either. I always liked 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" of lift in the front on my past trucks.

I don't load it up enough to really care

I don't like that it puts more angle on stuff either. If I was going that way I'd do a lift. But I'd rather put on a supercharger since the cost is comparable to a lift and all that goes with it. Way faster vs way slower...

Same here, but I might end up hauling a lot of wood this time around with this truck.

I definitely know what you mean. I like my truck to have some power to it, and some get up. I never wanted to lift real high because I probably wouldn't like any adverse affect it would have on driving it.

I like the look of lifted pickups. Just not the drivability and utility of them. Your truck would look great on a 4" lift.

I agree. Couldn't have said it any better myself.

I tore apart my dash a few days ago to reattach the light sensor to the dash cover. Somehow at somepoint it managed to come unhooked, and fell down under the cover. While I had the cover off I swept out the dirt inside the dash and cleaned everything out.
