Not now, no. I would like to do them eventually and add a 1" shackle out back for 4/7. Maybe next winter if I save enough...

chris, just make a set super cheap and easy,
get 4 of these http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.php?productid=362&cat=238&page=1
4 of these http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.php?productid=761&cat=233&page=1
some 1.25 tubing
and either make brakets or buy something like this http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.php?productid=1827&cat=236&page=1 mount 2 on the rear and 2 on the frame, then make your rod with the tubing.
if you can make everything, then it would be cheaper overall, but i sent links just for ideas.

I'm assuming you meant "done"?
And not yet! Progress so far: removed the bed and got the left front torn down. I only put about 2ish hours in taking my time. The bottom bj didn't want to let go of the spindle, so I battled that for a good 20 minutes.
Working on it all day til 5-6ish tomorrow so I should have some good progress made then too. I'll post up a few photos later.

When I did my left front the tre was stuck in the factory spindle and wouldn't come out so I had to take a sawzall to the spindle, unscrew the tre(still in the ear of the spindle) and replace it with a new one :lol:

If anything my truck had wheel hop worse after the flip, these trucks are notorious for them.
Best solution is Caltracs. They make them spec'd to the nbs with a flip kit, and work fantastic.
Yah coat that frame with a nice solid rocker gaurd...you'll thank yourself

Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread
Thanks!
Whenever I get to paint, the mirrors and bumper plastics are getting cm'd. I don't have caps so the whole thing will be painted.
Greg & Brandon, I plan on cleaning the frame this week with the bed off, don't worry. And thanks for the input Brandon

Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread
Any reason why the lbj's on BOTH sides refuse to separate from the spindles? I know you drill out the rivets to remove them from the arm, but they won't detach from the spindles...I've used the fork tool and wedged it in there with a sledge and it won't pop off...just fruatrating as hell
Edit: got one. Stubborn ass things these are. I called it to my dad saying these would be the biggest pain :laugh:

Mine did the same thing but on the uppers, I ended up buying another one of those wedge tools and stacking them. Then beat the hell out of them and that's what got mine apart, ruined the bjs but I was replacing them anyway
