I have a question for ya Big Dawg, so I bought a truck which was already lowered at 2"Front Flip kit rear which Im guessing is 6 or 7 inches.. My bed keeps smacking frame even with the hockey puck bump stops.. How can I lift the rear up without removing the flip kit can I cut it down from say 7 to 5 or do I have to put the leaf springs back stock then lower it with just a shackle? Or if I drop the front end say 2 more inches would the rear end not bottom out as much? I really hate hitting bumps and my entire azz comes off the seat jajaja Thanks Hopefully you understood
Only problem I have with putting semi wheels on these trucks is all I can find for a tire is a passenger car tire an not a good 10 ply truck tire so they wear twice as fast an one good pot hole an u will pop a belt in the tire want proof of it look at vice grip last video brand new tires wheels one pot hole an now junk
@barryhebert5839 I've been riding on Semi wheels on duallys for literally the last 20 years...I've had very few tire issues....pulled wedge trailers coast to coast with them....so im speaking from experience when I say any driver can fuck up any tire if given the opportunity...you pay attention they will last just as long as regular tires...my daily dually has 30k miles on current set and they still got 75% tread
@@lowerclassfab431 u lucky then lol everyone Ik personally that runs them an 90% of the people in the groups I’m in on Facebook all have the same complaints can’t get 2 oil changes out of a pair or a set of tires I’ll stick with my factory 16 alcos tho
Spent a few days at Stewarts soakin up knowledge on the baby blue 454 when i had my ol square body along side Dylan's......much respect for that guy!!!!!!!
@@lowerclassfab431 I put spider injectors in my sons truck and it would not start I put new crank sensor in and started right up. glad you got it going
For that broken header bolt, try bolting up the header, find a roll pin that fits in the hole in the header flange, tap it in and you have a nice hardened drill guide. Did this with some 5.4 ford heads, worked well
You need to start working on some merch. That's where the money is at on RU-vid. Take some notes from Jacob/Puddin's Fab & keep as much control as possible by keeping everything in house and as local as possible!
It took you having to LS swap her blazer to finally get her to actually smile and wave at the camera and not flip it off.... LOL I've had quite a few blazers so im a fan... Cant wait to see some more on this one... 🤘
Definitely recommend doing more research next time. You couldve completely avoided hacking that frame by just spending a few bucks. Enjoy your videos regardless though
On my LS, I had a couple broken exhaust bolts as well. It's what they do. haha. What I did was skipped the washer/nut trick and on each broken bolt I stacked a few quick, but high heat tacks. The heat will help loosen it up and once you get the tacks built up enough, a pair of vice grips on the tacks is all you need. Only had 1 that I had to give a second try.
The next time you have a broken stud Weld a washer to the broken stud first then weld a nut to the stud and the washer it works way better than just a nut
Hey guys love your videos, I been going through a lot this past year and haven't worked on any of my projects but your videos last few weeks have been getting motivated to get back out there and get stuff done, your videos are helping me more than you know Big thanks keep up the good work fellas!!
I had the same issue. I bought the GM Hot Rod oil pan (Hummer H3 Alpha) because everyone said it wouldn't require me to cut the crossmember and that it would go right in...and it didn't. Youy can also try welding a washer to the broken bolt and then weld a nut to that. That seems to work some of the time. I also found that using truck accessories, I had to sink the radiator into the core support for enough clearance for electric fans.
