Add the same things that I did...And... Cut out the front of your airbox(BELOW THE FILTER SEAL LINE!!!) and take out your front passenger -side headlight when you go to the track(RAM-AIR), add a 160 degree thermostat, and use the tow/haul mode. When you go to the track, take out your jack, spare, tail gate, floor mats, antenna, tuck your mirrors, clean outyour truck and wash it(mud can add wieght and aero-resistance), and go with just less then a 1/4 tank.Every 3,000 miles, use CHEVRONbrand fuel system cleaner w/techron.Take a big dump b4 you go[:@]...lol. These thing seriously help...

Hemikiller,

I am interested in the same 3/4 kit from Belltech. What size tires and wheels are you running? Any clearance issues up front?

I would like to use the BBS Truck 20x9.5 with a 295 45 20.

Thanks,
Todd

99z71325ci - anything that frees up in coming air and exhaust will help. Ex: dual exhaust, headers, intake, etc. Also lower gears and stiifer rear suspension if you plan on having alot fo weight in the back.

Air bags will help level you out without sacrificing ride. Stiffer spring will give you the ride height, but will rode like crap when unloaded.

Todd, curently I have the stock wheels and tires on the truck with no clearence issues. I have some 18s at the powder coaters and plan on going to a tire shop to find the tires that will fit, this would be your best bet to find a shop that will order the wheels and tires and make sure they fit before making you pay for them. 20s might be a tight fit on a lowered truck, but they should be able to help you find what will work.
