Re: lowered my truck
Man, from the background it looks like your neighbor's might have a little money to give to ya! The 22" Escalade and then the Hummer!
Love the drop, it was a nice attitude adjustment, and now I can't wait until I can say the same! Post some more pics of your truck. The interior and engine compartment.

Re: lowered my truck
Nice Stance and its great to see a young person interested in these trucks instead of rice rockets. That is exactly the drop I want to do on my 72 long box. What size tires are you running front and back?

Re: lowered my truck
Looks really good, I like a lil rake so I'd gone 1" more in the front.
But overall it did wonders for the stance of it. Happy Birthday

Re: lowered my truck
Matt my truck has the same lowering stance as yours and im rollin with 22" rims. I might just go with a smaller rim so i can get a taller sidewall tire for a better ride its a little bumpy for me i like the smooth ride. Other then that i get thumbs up as im driving and when im parked.

Re: lowered my truck
Happy Birthday Matt!. Your truck looks great
 . If you want another .75"-1.0" of drop cut 1/4 coil off and you'll have it. Glad to see your into old iron at your age!
