Making stock ride height look gooooood.
Seems like the trucks that get all the attention are either dragging frame or running a 6" lift with 35s. I thought it might be nice to see some trucks that aren't slammed to the ground or jacked up in the air for a change. So, who's rolling at stock height (or nearly so) and making it look good? Post 'em if you got 'em!

Re: Making stock ride height look gooooood.
Good thread idea. While I LOVE my dropped truck on big inch wheels, stock with Rallys sure does look nice too!

Re: Making stock ride height look gooooood.
I hated the way my 86 K10 looked stock. It had a forward rake to it. Not my idea of a good look for a 4x4.

Re: Making stock ride height look gooooood.
The side emblems are original, the molding is near exact (it was replaced when the truck was painted) so molding corners are original, and molding is a close as it gets from the GM body shop. I would share, but theres just not enough to go around!

Re: Making stock ride height look gooooood.
Mine is just high enough to clear the 33's up front without rubbing the fenders, although if I get the truck into a bad enough twist they will rub.

Re: Making stock ride height look gooooood.
Mine's still stock height. 76 frame under an 85 body, with 265/75R16's. I like the stock stance, but I'm thinking about a small 2 inch suspension lift. Not too sure yet. The driveway has some slant to it, so that kind of changes the look, and the wheel is turned a bit... Kind of an awkward picture.

Its against the law in some places that chevy's remain stock ride height! They have to be either lifted or lowered.
