The FINAL part of the mini-series! I finish the rear of this chevy truck with blocks and shocks, throw on some new rough country 20″ wheels, then test the ride out and new ability!

Put dual exhaust
Ironman at for the winter and Ironman at2 spring and summer I use on my rig a lot. I get about 55k miles out of them for under 1k
A guy decided to rewatch all a fella's vidjeos. 8/21/24.
I like the tires and wheels on the truck
This helped keep me motivated while my truck is down I have the transmission out and have completely built it and upgraded in every way possible, got full rough country 6 inch lift with v2 series shocks, rough country 22×10 inch 96 series wheels with 35 inch rough country M/T with new upper and lower ball joints. It’s been a lot of work and a long time the truck being down and a crap load of cleaning and degreasing and undercoating and parts painting. I did it all completely by myself and for myself and I’m 24. I saw times I’ve been angry, times I’ve sat and cried from frustration, times I’ve cried out of joy and humble pride, and spent a lot of time trying to gather the motivation and the initiative just praying if I could make myself get started I might pick up some sort of momentum. And I’m still not done! I sure appreciate you and your positive attitude, cool words, and uplifting spirit. I tell everyone about Vice Grip Garage and Nicks Transmissions and Precision Transmission….. that and The Why Files is about all that’s fit to watch! Thank you much!
Really enjoying the lift series. One thing I'd change is more sidewall on the new road contact go-around thingies. 33" is great but mine would be 18" rims. I'm lookin forward to see more Beast!
Like the head liner
I just found this video, and that is the funniest video i’ve ever seen! I was laughing so hard i almost choked 🤣👌🏼😂

They could be bigger or not they are awesome 💯
I love this build series. I've got a 90 k1500 I've thought about lifting. Seeing this, I feel confident I can do the kit myself.
They look good
Goodyear Dora tracks
Would you happen to remember the bolt size needed for the shock replacement? I plan on installing this kit here soon, and currently my shock mounts are "indiana'd" (rusted out completely and missing)
You should definitely put some nice exhaust on that thing brother
I run those exact wheels on my 2000 chevy 1500 I love them too
I see no link to Rough Country guess because the don't stock these lift kits anymore ??? Just looked I have 1996 turbo diesel with only 60k miles on it .
Nice freakin truck dude!
Bigger rims + more height = more problems. Shouldve used stock k20
Also lug nuts have different shapes. Make sure you match the lug nut to the lug face that come with your aftermarket rims
also aftermarket rims, after 100 miles. NEED TO BE RETORQUED.
Are the rims lug-centric? Hub-centric? Do they require a hub ring?
Things you need to know.
1995 GMC K1500 I have. I bought old suburban rims. STEEL. Alloy will corrode 100%
General Grabbers AT2. K0'2 cheap cousin.
Would love to see you do another GMT400 truck. I drove a 1988 Red C1500 Silverado with the Sportside! Miss that truck a lot.
@vicegripgarage I just wanted to cue you onto the new @BFGoodrich HD Terrain T/A KT tires. Made for 1 ton or larger commercial trucks, all terrains. I am a rancher that hauls heavy and spends 55% of my time off road or on gravel roads. They is the first all terrain that gave me 3 miles per gallon and has lasted more then 15k miles. Not one single tire in the past. Falken, BFG KO2, Coppers XLT, Nittos, nothing has lasted me 20k miles. However these mud terrain looking tires with the big knobs, will be the very last tire I ever buy for my heavy 1 ton trucks.
They look 👀 real good
Nice derek I watched all three parts Well done
Cool truck Derkk!
Great truck!
Why put a nice wheel on a utility truck
Excellent job
Awesome Truck
Now Definitely a work truck
Aka
Goin to town rig
Audio isn’t good when you are inside truck/cars
Dang that looks good I got hooked on your show you have a awesome family Doug Holt Cherokee. Ala 76 years old
How grown up the boys are now time flys by fast
Thanks for doing this one. Your my favorite car youtubeR watch your videos all the time. then looking up something I'm thinking about doing and you got a video of it double score
the goose S*** on a pump handle got me. XD
I would have got bf goodrich ko2 tires..rated #1 for snow /ice. I use them on my 2001 chevrolet silverado 2500 hd. I never have any issues in upstate new york..
Looks great but I think it would be more useful as a flat bed.
I know I'm a few years late, Derek, but the best tires for a for truck I've ever owned are Mickey Thompsons Baja Boss. Can't beat them. Also best tires for a car in the snow rain and tornadoes are Michelin Crossclimate 2 they will not slip at all. Might be kinda hard for burn outs also….😂
