Opinions on my truck
Truck is now 32" in front and 34" in the rear.
Do I just leave it alone? Do I lower the rear 2" to level it out? Do I lower the front 2" and the rear 4"? Do I lower the front 2" and the rear 3" for a little rake? Sorry, but this is the only way I have to post pics - http://www.gmcpaulstruckparts.com/p_clark.htm Thanks |

I like the 2/4 drop, but you're probably going to get 50% leave it and 50% drop it. It's pretty much your decision.

Looks like the leave its are winning...for now.I vote for dropping it.I like mine with a 2.5 in front and 3 in back to give it a rake.My newer truck is for hauling.

Looks great the way it is. With it a little higher in back, if you're hauling something it won't look like it's dragging as much.

Thanks for the input (and compliments)
Here's where my small mind is now - 1 1/2" lowering blocks to level things out a bit. That would leave money for the neon lights under the cab and bed, 10 sub-woofers, and fuzzy dice. ![]() What do you think? |

i happen to like lowered trucks if they are not covored in bullsh*t , i always loved trucks with stock trim and paintjobs but either slammed down or lifted beyond this world,, i like the fellas idea with the torque thrusts ,, but dont go over 16's ,,i think those 17-22 inch rims look absolutley retarded

I think it's looks best if you keep factory looking when all the factory trim is there.....but if they're more "custom" looking, then lowering is cool!
btw, what color of blue is that??? looks really nice. ![]() Jason ![]()
