I'm looking at a 1994 Chevy Silverado 1500 Custom Straight Axle 6.5L Turbo Diesel. Its got 11" Suspension, 3" Body, 180k miles, 10k on trans, dana60 front, 14 bolt rear, 4.10 gears,
44" michelins on 20" thug teflon coated rims, max e-tork programmer, 2 new 1000cca batteries, alternator, starter and fuel pump

extras: line-x bottom half of truck including bumper, fender flares, mirrors, bedrails, westin brush guard, cb/whip, drop-in toolbox, custom steel rear bumper, kc reverse lights, roll cage w/4 kc lights, all rear lights are smoked

trucks also coming with a diesel motor (still trying to get what it is-has bad crank bearing) that will come with the truck. guy wants 7k for it. worth it or not?? i'd be selling my gasser for it...DD either way. any input?

 

DD with 11" lift and a solid axle swap Id pass

 

even tho i only live 5 minutes from work?? i was contemplating dropping to a 9 or 10" total lift. i shouldn't have to change too much should i? whats an average cost to drop a suspension for a smaller one?

 

Take the body lift off and run some 38's... 44's and 410's not a good combo, then maybe. Just gotta look and see how well its built and no cobbled together... Just cause u own a welder doesnt mean u can weld if u kno what I mean. If I lived 5 mins from work I'd walk

 

i could run the 38's and 4.88's and shouldnt have a problem right? why would you say drop the body lift and not the suspension? is body lift ineffective or just cheaper then dropping suspension?

 

think I would pass on it that kind hight on it sure there something on it bent, broken or out wack

 

anything over 6 inch lift for a dd would be a deal breaker for me

 

he said the only things wrong is it doesnt have a front drive shaft and he tried to recharge the A/C and didnt bleed the lines. said once the lines are bled itll be good. i dont use A/C much so if it doesnt work it isnt a big deal to me

i run 9" lift as it is on my k10

 

to me 11 inches is just to much bad on drive, front and rear ends trans and even motor but that just what i think

 

im up for criticisim by all means. i definitely want a lifted truck. i mean even parting this thing out would get me a lot of money. but if this ends up being a truck that is more hassle then its worth ill look for different stuff
