New year, New member, New project.

How’s it going everyone? Obligatory new member post from Oceanside. @gascapkevin opened up a new space in my driveway, I was so excited I filled it the same day. Picked up a 2001 Silverado 1500 4x4. I use to service this truck at a shop I use to work at, so I have a nice service history with this truck. 4l60e blew and I was able to scoop it up. Coilover conversion, and it looks like a JD Fab kit.
The plan is pull the trans this week so I can send it out for rebuild. After that it’ll just get cleaned up and it will be my desert cruiser while I mess with my XJ.

Me too. The coilovers need rebuild, so I’m curious what the valving is too.

Nice! Excited to find out, update as you dive in to it and use it. Do you think a 3” coilover could fit in there?

Most definitely will post updates. Diameter wise a 3 inch coilover will fit, the problem is a 3.0 uses a one inch shaft not a 7/8. The jd fab kit uses the stock lower control arm, and comes with a shock adapter that threads to the 7/8 shaft.
