Re: Whhooooo Hoooo!!

beautiful truck. I hope mine is on that level someday. But I gotta ask... 7" body drop???? seems like it would have been easier to just do the frame modifications. what was your reasoning? not bashing you at all, just curious.

when i set up the truck, i did the suspension first. then to accomadate the way i wanted it to look with the 22/24 wheel and tire set up i did the body drop. with this done lot less expeses were taken. hell i only have a 4 inch notch in the back now. my fuel cell fits inthe same place as stock and i have ton of room for my exhaust and dont have to worry about control arms bottoming out.
