    Leaf springs need help

    Once you get your springs if still too spongy spend the money on correct valve shocks made big difference for me.(different application) but relevant. I had to get Bilstein 5125 360/80 valving to work with my 1/2 ton Jimmy the 255/70 valving was exactly too boatey wallowy loose soft

    Front 2-3" Springs

    I'm a few hours away from hunting and OHV areas, I liked the ride of the 2"-3" TC "softride" springs with bilstein 5125's w 360/80 valving. They handled pretty good on the freeway and on mild/intermediate OHV and hunting trails. Unfortunately I bent the front pack and need a replacement. I'm...

    Interesting video however he's only testing one battery of each brand. It seems like everyone has there "best product" these days. I like the Odyssey mostly because they are made in USA, showed up on a bunch of "Top Rated Reviews" and a few guys on here on GM Square Body, Tahoe Yukon forum and...

    Yes my comment that was poorly written was in regards to changing the gears to 3.73 would give him quicker off the line performance without any HP gains. I agree completely (heads, exhaust and headers) would help. I have an 89' stock 350CI TBI begging to have 200hp, when i changed the stock 3.73...

    You will not gain HP but the gearing will send you off the line much quicker and have 2 wheel traction not 1 slipping. At 70mph with OD you should be around 2150 rpm

    If you can find a 3.73 with a G80 that would be your best bet. Your stock 85' 305ci <200hp would benefit. Check the wrecking yard or 4x4 shops many Chevy/GMC owners going with 35"+ tires will swap them out. Lots of trucks and Blazer/Jimmy and 1/2 ton Suburbans had them. 1980 - 1988 had 28...
