plan on doing a 2.5" front spindle drop with 3" lowering coils, then for the rear I plan on blocking it and hangars which should put the rear down about 5-6". jet black paint over a shaved body (some custom mods involving the tail lenses). checker tonneau cover is on its way so everything will be flush, doing a shaved tailgate when my new tailgate gets here.

engine wise, Im doin a fuel injected 355 with an STS turbo kit, 1200 CFM edel twin throttles, dual elec fans two 280 amp alternators (I took out my AC just for that reason). richmond 5-spd tranny, stage 3 clutchmaster 4-puck clutch, with 3.54 gears in the rear on a posi setup, nickel drive shaft.

cyberdyne digital ice blue gauges, taking my radar detector apart later on this week and hiding it where the gear selector on the dash is located with my shift light. I have all my billet accessories already,.,.just cant find the right lengths of drywall screws to put crap together with...

still gotta figure out what exactly I want as far as a stereo setup, but I have two sunvisor monitors that Im putting in when the broken 5.5 megapixel camera I bought off ebay gets here (putting that in my steering wheel) then running the FM modulator in the glove box to hide a police radio scanner bolts. and of course my PS2.

I have more work to do to it than I could list in a 180 page college ruled notebook lol....

thats just some of the basic junk I have lined up...helluva handfull...but hey...gotta have something to do...


P.S. the motor I have now, is a 350 4 blt main that I put together in my backyard before I joined the military, pushes 393 bhp, and 402 tq...lotta room to improve...but I will get it there before too long :D

Wow I dunno if it is because it sits lower(the engine) but it looks kinda small, smaller than my 3o5.No offense might be the angle of the picture, love the truck too.

You can't use lowering blocks, assuming that is what you mean by "blocking it," unless you do a flip kit. The axles is mounted under the rear axle, so blocks will lift it rather than lower it.

The flip will get you 5 or 6 inches by itself, so you probably would not need blocks and hangers with it. Maybe just a flip, and blocks if you need to go lower?
