How's the ride on it? rough or ok? Any problems with turning and tire rub?

I love the stance of it, cheap and easy drop I think.

No tire rub at all.It has a good ride to it,considering how low it sits.Going Monday for a front alingment.Sure does take a curve alot better now.

I had my truck posted before but I did not like the angle of the picture. This is the best picture I have of it.

1984 GMC Sierra. AirRide Tech Strong Arms up front and AirRide Tech universal 4 bar in back.

I have never found wheels I like for this truck so for the time being I have the factory 15x6 steelies and 225/70 on the front and 255/70 on the back. I need a shorter tire up front.

My 1975 project truck some suggestions please!!!:devil:

killthewabbit 02-20-2008 11:12 PM

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 
My suggestion is slam it with a dropmember and get some sweet coys or CL205s in 20/22s

Nice original truck there.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 
Hell yeah! Dont touch any thign but the suspension...the drop member would be great and a rear air ride would be sweet.For wheels id try some 20" budnik fomosa's or billet specailties vin-tech dish in the same size. coys are cool but I like the budniks! Sweet truck!

Nice start for a project! I'd drop it 5-6", install some FACTORY Ralleys with the caps and trim rings, and install a big block!:metal:

Oh, and a new bumper......he he
