The overload and the spring with the bracket that keeps everything in line, just went to the 4wheelparts up here and got another bracket to keep the other 3 inline.

It does rub, even more so now that the springs are starting to settle, How ever Im going to remove the inner fenders and have some made up. It sits way to damn cool to mess up because of some rub!

Ya I usually try to post up all info, I get irritated when some people dont so I try to for other people, was at work and was in a hurry. Its all updated in the first post though.

Re: Truck Is Now Dropped!!
 
Thanks for the compliments guys, I got the truck back in febuary and basically spent every other day researching suspension, suspension set ups, wheel and tire packages, how many coils people cut/leafs removed, ect ect. So after months of research I threw it all together and came out with what you guys see, its exactly what I pictured and I couldnt ask for a better looking stance. I do have some things to address but thats normal with drops as ive been reading. Overall I am VERY happy with the outcome and wouldnt change a thing on it.


Ive had a smile from ear to ear all day long!

Oh, was test driving after I finished yesterday less then 10 mins a truck with 3 guys pulls up next to me, asking me how much I want to sell it for. I said to pull over at the gas station, I got out for ****s and giggles. They said $4000 and I laughed, they said $6000 cash right now and we will drive you home, told him I couldnt do it I just dropped it and havent enjoyed it yet the guy got irritated with me an drove off..That was awsome.

Your truck looks excellent man. I wasn't sure about those 35 series tires before but they look great now that you have it lowered.

Thanks, I'm ordering the eagle alloys 225's afterall!!! How does it ride? What shocks did you use?

This has just made me decide to keep my blue and white truck. Period.

muthstryker 07-19-2010 11:28 PM

Re: Truck Is Now Dropped!!
 
I wasnt sure on the tire either, but once it was dropped it was just right. As far as the ride, the front end is decent, the rear thats another story! They sent me the wrong drop shocks so right now just the stockers are on, they are being changed out to shorter ones tomorrow so its not as bad. I have belltech street performance shocks up front. I was supposed to get them for the rear but like I said, they sent the wrong ones. Stylintrucks.com sells them as the "correct" shock but they mount is different. I will be getting some toxic shocks for the rear and possibly the front I dont know yet.

Ya this blue is really nice, I get alot of compliments on it. And Chicks dig it! lol...

wow, awesome!

Re: Truck Is Now Dropped!!
 
Stylintrucks.com is going to swap out my rear shocks for me, I just need to measure as soon as I get the new ones in and put on I will post up how it rides. Im going to be taking out my inner fenders and replacing them with trailer fenders up front to clear so I dont rub.

Re: Truck Is Now Dropped!!
 
No, but I was thinking about starting one tonight.. Keep an eye out I may do it tonight if not, tomorrow night for sure.
