Nice! I'm digging the black grill, too.

Re: New Kicks on the 72, American Eagle 225
This truck looks great!
Did you lower the front with a drop spindle? If so, which drop spindle did you go with? |

Re: New Kicks on the 72, American Eagle 225
Perfect set up! Wheels are fit just right.
What drop are you running? 3/5? What's the backspace specs on those wheels? The dish on those are sweet! |

Beautiful rims...and if my eyes are what they used to be, quite the doll in the front seat!

That color and the wheels look very nice.

Re: New Kicks on the 72, American Eagle 225
Thanks guys for the comments. The drop in that picture is 4/5 1/2. Im not sure what the backspacing is but the offset for the rear is +2 and the front is -5. Since then i have lowered the rear 1 more inch to even it out and i think it looks better. ill post some pics soon.

Re: New Kicks on the 72, American Eagle 225
Did you get a chance to take a new picture of your truck's stance?
Also, what did you use to lower the front of your truck, a drop spindle (which company did you use for the drop spindle), coil, or a combination of the two? |

Re: New Kicks on the 72, American Eagle 225
Maybe I missed it, but how wide are the wheels? 8.5" w -5mm BS? Front and rear? With a 315, you almost need a 9.5" ? Do you have one of the original boxes and/or possibly a part number? I'd like to get two of the exact same front wheels for my 68. .. just starting with the fronts for now. My truck is a stepper, so I can't go hardly as big on the rear. I'll have to figure something else out.
Looks killer man. ..
