Update, 4/6 drop(w/pics)
Hey guys
![]() I was kinda bored around the house today and decided to go snap some pictures of the orange truck before I change tires with the new drop. I just finished installing drop spindles and blocks, along with new shocks, and I'm digging the stance, just going with a tad shorter tire(255/60). You guys have been very helpful along the way so I figured you may want to see some progress pics. ![]() I'm having loads of fun with the truck right now and it's a blast to cruise in, so I plan on a front sway bar to tighten it up some more and hopefully an LSx swap soon!!! btw, I have never claimed to be a photographer!! 5-min shoot time.. ![]() ![]() Last edited by 19seventeeCustom; 05-14-2011 at 07:41 PM. |

Re: Update, 4/6 drop(w/pics)
Looks great, I have 255/60's all the way around on about a 5/6 drop. I think you'll be happy with the size.

Re: Update, 4/6 drop(w/pics)
thanks alot!
btw, these pics are without the front fender liners, there still out for paint. The liners may have some effect on the tire gap distance once installed?? |

Re: Update, 4/6 drop(w/pics)
That stance with your wheel and tire size/combo is perfect, In my opinion these truckes look better with taller tires. Very nice!

Re: Update, 4/6 drop(w/pics)
Truck looks great! Did you go with aftermarket rear axles to get the 5 lugs???
