r/Trucks

I recently installed an 80 lb brush guard that caused my front end to drop another inch. The rake was already at least 3 inches and now it's about about 4 inches. I don't need it completely leveled and would prefer a 2.5-3 inch lift, but will settle for 2 inches. I won't be doing much offroading or towing, but may occasionally.

My questions are..

1. What type/brand/model leveling kit would you suggest?

2. Would replacing just the springs and maybe adding a 1 inch spacer be a safe option?

Thanks in advance!!

One taken out to test fit. Decided on another Rim instead. Other than the test fit it’s flawless . Message me

I’m walking around the truck it looks clean and nice and respectable but it’s missing something. And as I’m getting ready to pack up and head home a cammed vette pulls into the parking lot and a light bulb went off in my head. Maybe I’ll do a mild heads and cam package. Not chasing horse power but I think some long tube headers and a nice chop to go with the truck will be very nice my only question/ concern would be is the drivability. Would you daily drive a cammed truck? Is it reliable enough to do this? We all know once you start tinkering with shit it starts to cause problems well. What exactly are they and if I go through with this how do I prevent them?

Currently rocking all three 🤣

1992 Chevy S10 5-speed 2.5l Duke 4 cylinder 2WD long bed w/ 106k miles

2020 Ram 1500 BigHorn 5.7l Hemi 4WD w/70k miles

2010 Ford F150 Lariat 5.4l V8 4wd Supercrew w/125k miles

I thought it looked pretty cool.

I have maxtrac 4in lift spindles and mazzulla upper control arms they should work with no issues but the upper ball joint threads seem to run out not sure why am I missing something?

I used to wrench on trucks and built a few in my younger years that I'd take to shows, but then real adult life took over and put a stop to it for 15 years or so. Then I found this 2004 Sierra for next to nothing and decided to start a build with adult money. It's so dang fun.

Started out with changing lights...then drop shackles, then different wheels, grille, bumpers, and lower it with a proper window tint. Currently I'm paint matching a new set of mirrors for it then who knows what.

I need a Topper for an 08 Tundra 5.5 Ft and I don't want to spend $600. I absolutely do not care what color it is or the condition of the paint. I just need to throw something on the bed of my truck. I'll be traveling for work for 3-4 months and would like to store some stuff in the back. Do you think adding plexiglass on this is doable or is it a lost cause? only $20

This was handed down to me and as much as I would love to fix it up and keep I don’t have the time or money to do so. I’m having some trouble finding good comps and am not very knowledgeable about these older trucks. I don’t have any info on condition other than the photos I have but I’m hoping to get a general sense of what to list it at with maybe a few different scenarios in mind (worst to best case condition) if that makes sense.

Also, I have someone coming to look at it tomorrow. I’ve never sold a vehicle so any advice with that would be great as well. I e already told them I won’t be ready to sell because I’m still figuring out how to price it.

If there is a better sub for this let me know and I will make the change. Thank you for your time!
