How much taller is the 99 rear springs then 2001? I assume if I buy aftermarket 99 springs they will sag to about what I want anyway?

I looked at some older posts, did some google searching, not find exact what I looking for. I want stock ride height and just a bit more heavy duty spring for towing and some gear and friends in truck. Seems that for what I read most aftermarket stuff is prone to early sag.. What am I looking...

My grandfather back in early 1980's had his 8-track player stolen like 3 time out of his cars. He silver soldered heavy duty fishing hooks under dash and stringed some on wire cable around radio body. He heard some sucker howling at about 4am, left him there till 9am and then he called the...

I am experiencing same issue, it is not very safe in ice and snow when you need to really go and it just shuts you down... For what I read some people think it is VSC related, some blame Trac control. One of the threads really thought on 2002 it is the VSC giving it the slow start and no...
