Doesn't truely matter u still pretty much hit the nail on the head...if u want things that actually really really increase hp and tq get a chip tuner, cai if u use the search u'll find alot of stuff done.

black out head lights, tints, tires and rims

Also u can put new Shackles on there like $50 lift the rear 2 inchs and then crank your t-bars to raise your front end...t-bar crank is free.

Chevy Drop Shackles.

Anything can be done at little cost, you just have to be patient for the right deal to come around.

always keep an eye on craigslist, someone is always getting rid of rims or tires, tonneaus or caps.

sorry... i feel kind lame asking...but wtf is a t-bar, and where can i get a t-bar crank...i most likely have seen a t-bar when i was working on my manifold,
but i cant put the name to the piece....and as far as the back goes...i think its high enough for now, if you look @ the pics on my cardomain you can see how much lower my front end is than the rear...how do i crank up the t-bars and what.where are they?

RangerJustin Jan 20, 2008 09:26 PM

you dont have a t-bar actually...they didnt start till 98 i beleive...you have a TTB suspension IIRC

t-bar = torsion bar
TTB = twin traction beam ( i think)

ya us ttb guys can't do t-bar lifts... kinda sucky... body lift is reasonable... only about 80 or 90 bucks and you can lift it like 3 inches.. lots of pple on here do it....
