PART 2

IF YOU’RE PICKING UP RIGHT WHERE WE LEFT OFF IN THE MARCH 2019 ISSUE, YOU KNOW THAT OUR GOAL WITH THIS PROJECT IS TO GIVE NEW LIFE TO A SLIGHTLY OLD DAILY DRIVER YOU MAY ALREADY OWN. We started with a lifted 2WD Silverado on 35-inch tires.

The truck looked nice and sounded great, but the ride quality was good at best, and it was lacking quite a bit of power. So, we decided to give this truck a complete makeover with sport truck styling and real performance to back it up.

TURNING A FAKE OFF-ROAD TRUCK INTO A REAL HIGHPERFORMANCE PICKUP

In the last year we showed you how simply the front suspension can completely be replaced with coilovers and new spindles from Belltech. We also installed a new beefier sway bar that is included in their Sport Suspension kit. This new set up will bring our previously 7-inch lifted truck down to around 3.5 inches lower than factory stock height.
