Re: Show me your ratty hot rods!!!!
no its bagged with a c notch in the rear and I did spraybombs cupped stock lower up front.... I added 1/8" shim to the uppers and have been running the ass of it ..it drives good but I need to make the rear panard bar a bit longer or put a ful length one on it because it's off set about an inch to the driverside at ride height.....

Re: Show me your ratty hot rods!!!!
i bet its cut coil front and stock rear.
if your wanting to save money, you could add like a 2 or 2.5 inch block to the rear, for a cheap drop. or i think drop rear coils are like, 100 bucks. |

Re: Show me your ratty hot rods!!!!
he has leaf springs in the rear, a block would only raise it up higher. he would have to get a drop shackel or lowering leaf springs.

Re: Show me your ratty hot rods!!!!
oh okay. i was thinking it was coil sprung rear. like a half ton.
then i guess he would have to get lowering shakles, or take a leaf or two out also. |

Re: Show me your ratty hot rods!!!!
I have rear leafs. Cut one coil in the front. Stock rear. I get the "nice rake" comment constantly while driving. I wanna lower the rear, prolly with extended shackles, but i like the rake so much. lol. It gives it a "i'm about to pounce on you" look that i like. I might just keep it that way till i bag it. I don't think i wanna add more rake with blocks. lol. that'd look insane. i should try 2x4's to add a rake. lol. j/k.

Personally I have grown tired of seeing every truck slammed flat lowrider style. Its good to see some people would rather role the hotrod style , even if i was going to go bagged and lowered you couldnt pry my rake out of me . Raked is beautiful. ![]() |

Re: Show me your ratty hot rods!!!!
ALLEN... crap man, i just now noticed you also blacked out your side markers. I knew u did the front bumper lights, but didn't notice the sides. They look great like that. awesome. Your truck takes great pictures. Nicer truck than mine.

Re: Show me your ratty hot rods!!!!
aww diesel, shiny paint?! ha! that and the fact the both rear fender look like golf balls. she is no beauty queen.... just the way I like her.
oh well she is garaged. funny story. my 2yo son loves playing in the bed. couple of days ago, he wants to play in the bed with his hotwheels. instead of waiting for me to pick him up and put him in, he lobs the hotwheels in from 10 foot out. all 12 of them and I let them fly. and I didn't care and helped.... that officially makes it a rat!! I don't care for the damage or extra hotwheel paint on the inside bed wall!!!!
