Title: '86 Silverado
Post by: 86silver on December 29, 2013, 11:33:25 PM: Got the k20 axles under it (Dana 44 front Corp 14 rear, 4.10 gears) that I rebuilt. 35" BFGs. US Wheel wagon wheel rims. 4" Tuff Country EZ Ride lift and shocks.

Now working on a better way to attach cruise/throttle and tranny cables on intake.

Why are they positioned so far forward? They don't look right and must be kind of awkward to use no?

Well you are welcome to try in your truck, but with saddle gas tanks you'll see my issue. Also, I had no interest in nerf bars again...these steps work just fine.

I fit my running boards fine on my truck, and they use three separate brackets per side, and I have saddle side tanks.
