Newbie from Ottawa Canada

by Mirage » Tue Apr 08, 2014 2:26 pm

Purchased my 06 LT in February. It has 3:42 with G80

This forum has provided me with a wealth of knowledge and it has helped me figure out what direction I want to take my truck.

I just ordered marks 2.5 lift and spacers and am on the fence about shocks. I will not be doing any hard core wheeling so I might order a set o the bilsteins.
I have already purchased a set of 265/70/17 Druatracs which are waiting till I get the lift.

As far as appearance mods I will probably stay pretty stock except possibly a light bar.

I will post pics of the lift soon hopefully.

Here is stock the day I got her

And my tires. (Rubber hotness!)

Welcome. Nice tires.

Welcome from another lifting Newbie Canuck!

I am also in the process of ordering a lift and shocks. First thing I gotta do is replace the air springs with coil springs (on order). I am probably going to go with the Bilstein shocks for the back. Currently have Monroe Reflex on the front and I might just stick with them for now.
