I noticed your lower ball joints are mounted on top of your control arm instead of into the slot that the factory one sit in, was this on purpose of did I just cause you to have to remount them lol. Reason I ask is because mine are mounted in the slot not on top.

The mcgaughys 16" spindle comes with the aluminum spacer to put in the control arm and the lower bj goes on top of the arm. That way the spindle is a true 2" drop, if you leave the bj in the stock posistion you only get 1" drop.

Oh ok but with the 17" spindles it doesn't require mounting on top right? I don't believe I got a spacer with mine.

She's for sale, if you or anyone you know is interested hit me up here. Recent pictures and an actual for sale ad to come.


$8,500 cash or money order, no trades, no lowball offers
Regular cab, short bed
All black exterior, grey cloth interior with captains chairs and jumper seat w/ center console (NOT work truck interior)
4.3 V6, ~129,500mi
2nd owner. Great condition, garage kept for last 10 years
Clean Texas title in hand
Located in Grand Prairie, TX. Will meet in town for test drive.

I hate to sell this, I've been the owner since 2005, but I have moved on to another project (a square body). Lots of quality work done, and quality parts installed. This truck is ready for a new, good home.

Bagged with Accuair E-Level - lays frame front and rear, never drug
Front: Firestone 2600 airbags, shocks relocated, tubs for 24" wheels, bag cups, factory control arms with new balljoints, low-profile (flush w/ frame) transmission crossmember, all brass fittings and 3/8" nylon line
Rear: Firestone 2600 airbags, QA-1 shocks, KP Components 6-link, 5-gallon tank, Accuair VU-4 solenoid valve unit, tubs and notch for 24" wheels, cab notched for driveshaft, all brass fittings and 3/8" nylon line

Wheels: 22" unpainted black GM transport steelies
Tires: Falken Ziex 265/35/22R, fronts half worn, rears new

Stereo: (older, around 10y/o components)
Alpine single din head unit w/ aux and ipod connection, JL Audio W1 10" subwoofers in custom carpeted box behind seats, 600w Lanzar amplifier powers subwoofers, Infinity Kappa Perfect speakers all around, JL Audio 400w amp powers speakers, some Dynamat in interior

Engine/Drivetrain:
All factory, main engine fuse box and radiator reservior relocated to accommodate for tubs, cone air filter, always ran synthetic oils, 2wd.

Interior:
No damage or excessive wear (i.e rips/holes in seats, dash cracks, broken plastics), 9/10. Captains chairs with center jump seat, Accuair switchspeed controller, Denali dash surround painted black to match, escalade chrome door handles, KP Components 200psi air gauge installed in cubby hole, white gauge cluster overlay w/ blue LEDs (bad), factory rubber mats

Exterior:
Black paint 8/10, all plastic/metal trim painted, complete HD 2500 front end using OEM parts, shaved tailgate and welded rollpan, Z71 valence with fog lights, 6k HIDs in headlights, clear corner turn signals, red/clear taillights, aftermarket chrome door pulls, fresh detail, all badges removed

The good:
All tubs, most metal work, air and suspension wiring done by Nfamus Suspension in Cleburne, TX. Everything loomed. Recent check up done at Nfamus in July of this year
Everything not listed below in the 'bad' section works as designed, truck runs well. Accuair air management system makes driving this bagged truck a breeze.
Set up to lay frame on bigger wheels and tires, truck has enough lift to clear anything I have encountered during normal driving
Recently had wheels/tires balanced, oil changed, fluids topped off, checked up, etc
Passes state inspection easily, registration good until 9/19
Have many receipts for mods and repairs, vehicle history
Zero frame or body rust, all metal/frame work professionally done. Texas truck its whole life
Stereo, subwoofers, and amplifiers are all 10+ years old, but work well and sound good. Easily upgradable
Definite head turner, can drive as is and look great

The bad:
Minor transmission leak at driveshaft seal
Rear differental makes noise when off-throttle cruising at speed
2 chips in windshield, no cracks
White gauge cluster overlay is old and bubbling, will need replacement
Bed liner peeling off
A/C does not blow cold (for now, working on it)
Lug nuts are factory style, no center caps - removed spikes for sale
Fog lights not hooked up, no bulbs, still work
Rattles some over bumpy surfaces
VU-4 solenoid valve leaks air slowly - Accuair will warranty if removed and sent in

I have been honest and upfront with the condition and description of this vehicle, and therefore am firm on the price of $8,500.

** If you have a complete '99-06 5.3 or 6.0 LS based GM engine you would throw into the deal, we can discuss a lower price. **

Thanks,

Brandon
