Thank you very much, I'm securing a 5.3/4L89e for the swap that I would like to have complete before the end of next month.
That would be great. The LS engines are the hot ticket these days. I wouldn't mind putting in a more efficient 5.3 in my wagon and stepping into the 21st century, but my old 350 is still running well.

I like your upgrades so far.

Like they say if it's not broken ....no need to go tinkering!!

I'm contemplating an air ride coil over setup but I'll get the drivetrain sqaured away first.

The 0 offset is different pertaining to the different wheel size (width) in this the case the Zero offset for an 8" wheel equals 4.5 in BS and for the 9.5" wheel it equals out to be 5 in of BS.

As far as the springs those are the stockers on there I would really like to know what others used to lower there wagon as well?

So let me you ask you this. You said you run a spacer. Is it because of the tire size (width) or backspacking on the wheel? The reason i ask is becuase i found a wheel i want to run but they have it in a 18x8 at 4.5bs and a 18x9.5 with a 5.25 BS and didn't know if that is to much? Thanks for the help
