Re: project: 3/4 ton dropped
I have 15" 8 lugs 2 ¾" backspace. You can buy them for about 60 bucks a piece and paint them whatever color.

Re: project: 3/4 ton dropped
The paint looks damn good! Looks like you need a life jacket to be standing around it! Ill be painting my truck sebring silver next week. I do have a question, do you think if i did an axle flip on my truck would i be able to get enough drop out of the front by just cutting the coil springs to even it out?

Re: project: 3/4 ton dropped
Looks sweet man. Now you gotta get that beast on the road. If your doing 8 lug rallys, summit racing has 15x10 factory style rallys priced not to bad. Back spacing should let them tuck under the rear real nice. I have seen them on a few squares and i drool every time.

Re: project: 3/4 ton dropped
I have been following this as well. Good job on the truck. I lowered my 3/4 ton 5 inches in the rear and 2 in the front. I still may go a little lower tho. Nice paint job with a great colour.
