Glad to hear things have improved over there since the name change. SD's products have always been awesome but I stopped ordering from them years ago because of slow shipping and customer service leaving a lot to be desired.

Yeah, I unfortunately have had similar experiences with them one too many times. Started dealing with Sunny at Newmatics Inc when they opened up a few years back and have had amazing products and service since.

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

yayyy update... decisions decisions....

i got the axel in where its pretty much gonna rest.. got a tire up to it and ugh.....

i cant even get the lugs to touch the backside of the rim without the tire hitting frame.. also my link bar will hit the rim

offset will be pretty crazy off to..

btw i plan on using the stock leaf spring mount, and adding tabs on the topside for the upper links like the pic..

So after doing some thinkin.. i decided to get one of my boyds down outta the attic and have a look..

they fit almost perfect, and i think they give the ty a lot more aggresive look and pop! they really are growing on me, but problem is.. i have 3 rims total, will need 4 tires.. and i doubt i will be able to get another rim made since boyds been bought out and there a custom 1 off set.. and neil "guy who has my old noma", doesnt seem to interested in selling me the rims back off the truck.. soooo i might have to make the c5's work, but they also might be for sale if i do find out anything new about buying a boyd wheel. i mean, there only a "little" different in size :p

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

well i can tell you its a pain in the ass.. the lower bars i think i got figured out, i have 2" spacers on way for the rims.. My notch should be here monday.. main thing my prob now is the upper links and where the hell im gonna fit them lol.. also im running the bags in front of the axle, and doing shocks in stock upper location to tabs on axle because of space, also gotta fit a panhard bar in there.. i cant wait to get that floor cut out though so i can actually work!!

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

ok i figure ill give you guys a update... no longer doing air suspention.. ended up getting some new leafs.. bought some nice monroe shocks, new lowering blocks... I painted the whole frame in the back with por15, along with all the suspention parts... Also bought new rotors and pads since they were shot. I have to buy a new caliper for rear since one has a seized bleeder screw, when i do that ill also buy new tie rods for front along with sleeves.. Ill be ordering my wheel bearings for front either tonight or tomorow.. and also my stock arm coils for the front from sportmachines will be here next week hopefully.. gonna feel like a new truck this year!! Also still shooting for 11's

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

well got it back on ground last night, the rear is def sitting up higher then it used to.. I thought it could have been the shocks botteming out so i pulled them off and didnt make any difference.. Im hoping its because the suspention needs to settle and the no weight from being gutted in the rear is gonna drop it back down the way it was.. Im not using the same suspention that came out, i got leafs from a friend off his s10, there also 3pack instead of the 4pack like the ty came with.. plus same size blocks as i had. about to pull the abs out so i can return the flaring tool right now
