Which setup does that truck have? You know you won't be happy unless you get what you have envisioned in your head.
That truck has the extreme drop on coilovers front and rear.

Haha, guess I opened the door for that one! I think that truck is extreme front/rear. I'm actually pretty happy with my current ride height, but I lust after the super-low trucks.

My problem is that the truck still drives like, well, an old truck. I'd like nice, tight ride/steering/braking, with wheels visually entered in wheel wells, then add a manual transmission (tko or magnum) and fuel injection (looking at Fitech for now, but ultimately would like to build another 6.0) for a confidence inspiring and fun drive. Honestly, the goal isn't too lofty, as I'm seeking qualities similar to the 27 year old 5.0--I'm just feeling a little guilty driving a F*rd (and liking it) :exit:

I thought the extreme coil-over setup would put it lower than that, like the Blue and White Blazer that Hill's Hot Rods did. That one doesn't appear to have the rim slightly tucked like the Blazer.

I was too, but I had "certain people" that were trying to convince me to bag my Blazer, so I gave in to peer pressure. :lol:

Haha, yeah. No regrets! Your Blazer is/will be killer. My favorite on the boards

I think extreme is a little too extreme for me right now. I really like the way this one sits. Similar tire height up front, but shorter out back. He's on WideRide/fatbar with the NL rail kit. I'd like just a smidge of tire rake and it would be perfect.

It may not fit in, but I bet it gets a lot more attention than those other trucks. It's awesome that your wife likes to drive it. I think it's cool when my wife wants to drive mine. Unless I really want to drive it. :lol:

She might not fit in, but she's appreciating $$$$ while the others are going in the hole :pty:

Looks good to me !

Spent the better part of the afternoon/evening going through the entire thread. I've seen it before but never went through your thread. Nice to see you're back on it! Love everything about this truck.

Thanks for taking the time. Stay tuned, we aren't done yet...

Liking the look of this one, too. It's Ridetech coilovers with 18x9.5s, 295/40s all around. I think 18s, if done right (and I have some ideas) could look awesome, get me the extra inch lower, and without having to cut inner fenders. Hmmmm...

:lol: I'm going to have to pass. I'm trying to get my funds back too. My LS swap is held hostage by my back yard renovations the wife wanted. Gotta keep her happy.

That's exactly the kind of thinking that takes me from rotating the tires to doing a frame off. :smoke:
