Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread

Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread

Got the 4* shims in this afternoon with 2" longer ubolts from SD Truck Springs. Definitely helped with the pinion angle vibrations I was getting. I ran it on the highway up to 100 and it only started with slight vibrations above 90.

Overall I'm happy with how it is right now as I won't be going 90+ mph often, if at all.

I'm gonna keep the ss 20s and run them this season I think. I'm ready to put some real wheels on this thing :crazy: Other than doing that, a rear sway bar will be bought at some point and paint for the bed & color matching. That'll be it for this year on my budget.

Not unless I buy tires tomorrow morning and put them on :okay:

After I get my tax return that'll offset the cost of part of the tires. I hate not working much right now.


And tires are between:

Hanook Ventus 12 255/45-20 for $636 + shipping from tire rack

General Grabber UHP 275/45-20 for $580 + shipping

I'd love to spend more but I can't afford to right now. I've had general tires on my lowered S10 and I like how they handled, and I've heard the Hanook's hook up well also.

Any suggestions on which size/tire to go with?

That's what I'm leaving towards, I just know a few people run 255s on oem 20s like Brandon.

I've only seen one set in person, Jared's , looked pretty good, not too skinny
Here's my old truck on 255s I didn't like em, too skinny IMO

Awesome, thanks for the info.

I'm gonna order center caps and lugs tomorrow, then wait for my return to come in to get the meats
 
Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread

I also noticed that where we shaved my gate the bondo underneath over the patch cracked :( no clue why it would do that, we painted it in July/August when it was warm. That'll be redone with the bed. Til then I'm not too concerned with the paint.

I might convince my dad to do the whole truck, there are small nicks on every panel just about. That's up in the air though, cost is a big part of that.
 
Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread

Yeah, I don't know enough about paint/body work to figure out what happened.. Maybe when we take it down to the metal in that spot we'll figure it out. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
 
Re: Khaos' 2004 GMC RCSB Thread

Got center caps and lugs on the way. My dad is dropping the 20s tomorrow to have the general grabber uhp's put on. :success:

Now to wait for less shitty roads to run them.
