Today put new brake shoes on the rear and installed new emergency break lines
And started moving everything out of the way for my new exhaust manifold
Oh and my 1.5" wheel spacers came in

Do you have a sound bar? Speakers are 5.25" however I have a sound bar which had the 5.25 in it but I install Polk 6.5" in the sound bar and same Polk in the front doors but they were 5.25. The 6.5 fit with no mods needed

Question. Im thinking of going to a five and half inch lift. If i just bought leafs,new coils,and a t case drop kit would that be all thats needed. And shocks of course. What else would i need?

Your going to need an sye and rear drive shaft with that much lift, a track bar, and a drop pitman arm. I would recommend atleast control arm drop brackets if not long arms. A rear shim kit wouldnt hurt either. Did you get just a 5in leaf pack or a leaf and longer shackel?
