Pre runner anyone done it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was curious if anyone has lifted one of our trucks instead of slamming it to the ground? I was thinking something like this Dinos truck is SWEET!

pooz911, is it top heavy at all? Ride better or worse? How about around corners? Sway bar? Brand of coils?

pooz911 · 11-19-2008, 09:08 PM

The lift is Rancho Springs with a ball joint spacer, 3 inch body lift. 33 inch tires. The stock swaybar is still on in the original location. I don't feel top heavy while driving it. its not my lowered honda in the corners but it's fun to drive.

Hmm...More info on the Ball Joint spacer please? Nice truck by the way

Tell us more. Is that yours? And BTW,welcome to the boards!

Yes, It started out as a slammed truck frame off resto but my heart was always offroad. So I took a while and searched out companies that had the fiberglass molds still and finally rounded them up from two different sources. Then I sold off all the bling and started into this. I had it all done but was not impressed without the money to do coil-overs and long travel so it got all torn down again. Trying to find my hard drive with detailed pics. Will post them soon.

Nice! I always gave thought to building a desert racer-style truck. By "style" I mean just like one,but not raced and street legal...ish.

Here are some pictures I had gathered

A few more:

Nice, I just watched mine roll away off to a better home tonight. It was my dream to redo it full race style but after 13 years and a couple kids we parted ways. Still trying to find my hard drive with the internal fab work I did.

I can see the suspension being a big hurdle. I know the feeling of getting to a point where it's time to let it go.
