it would cost a lot of time and money to make my truck come close to the stock Z. i dont go to the tracks so that is a pipe dream(not Kyles kind either). i have even thought about ditching the vararam to someone that may actually want it for something other than looks.

It really just depends on how u wanna do it. The cheapest way is 22s wrapped in 265/35/22 with all stock parts. all ur air ride stuff is a about 800 to 1000 just for air managment. Thats not counting a link set up. A good shop ur gonna spend 5 to 7k. Thats y i learned how to do my own work. When im done ill have less than 2k in mine and thats with a few custom goodies like tublar control arms and custom tie rods. Thats also not counting the narrowing the rear end 4 inches to tuck the 24s. Thats about 6 to 800 alone. Like i said it just all depends. Theres alot of factors.

Looking good. Are your tierods the same angle as your lca's? From the picture it's hard to tell but it looks like they are flatter than your lca's.
