Congrats on the drop! The fun part is learning how to drive it. Definitely going to need some pictures. If you've got them saved on your computer, just use the 'browse' button at the bottom of the screen you use to reply and follow your directory to wherever they are stored.

Cool, can't wait to see the pics. If you need any help on uploading the pics, email me at scott_shelbourne@yahoo.com.

It used to be [for normal and slightly lowerd vehicles] fords and dodges were the enemy. Now pot holes, speed bumps, and road protrusions are your real enemy. O dont forget turns, casue you can attack those much better now!

6" static on these trucks is insane. My control arms thank me for having bags. Psst.

Marks 85 · 02-04-2003, 03:37 PM

I know it is pretty low. I went and got smaller tires (205s) and now the rubber piece on the bumper is about 3 in off the ground! Next thing I am doing is an air ride!!!

Probably so. My inlaws live on that new golf course on the 377 and we're out there a lot.

You'll probably see me in my other truck more though
