Oh yeah, and a little install tip, take off the heat shields on the firewall. Give's you a little more clearance to get them in from the bottom

Niice..hopefully I can get a lift to do the install, ill probably get everything in and look at it to see where I need clearance then pull them out and do whatever
I have a cutting torch at the house so I may try heating and beating so maybe I can get clearance without crushing any of the primaries

You might can, I know from the research I did before I bought them that every set seems to be different. I put a ratchet strap around my collector and the frame and tried heating/bending, but we don't have our torch at the house anymore so all I had was a little mini propane torch so it didn't do much. Some sets don't even have issues with the collectors/primaries, just have to modify the Y.
My truck had the RC kit cranked up pretty good, but it was about the same height off the ground as our tall jack stands. Wouldn't be a bad install at all on stands as long as they're the taller 3 ton kind. The hardest part is breaking the bolts loose on the stock mani's without breaking them. Soak them multiple times the day before with PB blaster, the night before really good and do it again right before you start the install. Then drive the truck really hard to get it good and hot and then break them loose. All mine came out no sweat, didn't break a single one.

Nice, that'd make it real easy for sure. Oh yeah, and take your spark plugs out so you don't break one. Ask me how I know :banghead:
rly: might be interested in the spindolze for plans and shit, looks good now but 4/7 is still a great stance on a NBSActually might hold on to them for a future project but I'm not totally decided yet..ill let you know
Yea man I know, wish I could have made it too
Looks good dude. Ive been wanting to by a plastic tube not really feeling how hot my chrome one gets. Was thinking about wraping it witb header wrap but I have no clue if it would help or wat...this is how I would do it .

K&N plastic tube is only $45 on summit new, that's what I'm going to do and build my own airbox I think.
Airbox looks good but you need to remove firewall insulation looks almost as torn up as mine. Cody said he didn't notice a difference when he took his out

Yea I had a metal tube but once I realized how hot it got I decided to get a plastic tube..found this one at a pull it yourself salvage yard for $6 :success:
Yea I need to pull that insulation out bad
K&N Intake Tubes 08740 - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing
Here's just the tube
Only reason I plan on making an air box is so I can seal it to the fender and core support behind the headlight and the swap stock box in for winter to keep the snow out of it

Well after school threw a wrench in my plans to get the tahoe 20s from jose, a buddy of mine came across a deal on some ltz 20s with 275/55/20 cooper discover h/t plus with 65% tread on them..lady had them posted on facebook for $450 obo so I texted her to make sure she had the center caps and offered her $350..
She took my offer so I picked up the wheels with tires/center caps/lug nuts
Cleaned them up a little, no curb rash on any of them
Had a lot of cv axle grease and brake dust so I took care of that
Dropped the center caps off to have some white bowties made for them and im hoping to have the tires sold tomorrow for $200
