I'm thinking about adding a air dam to my truck and wanted to see what they look like on lowered trucks lowered more than 4" up front

I believe I'll be putting a air dam on my truck, but first I'll go to the junk yard first and get one and see how I like and if I do I'll buy me a new one

Cherub · 05-13-2009, 03:22 PM

Yea a nice new one will look good. mines all faded and cracked.

tvblazer78 · 05-13-2009, 03:31 PM

MMM MMM MMM, that is one sweet looking air dam. The truck looks o.k. too I guess.

gchemist · 05-13-2009, 04:03 PM

2.5 spindal/ 2" coil with 255/60R15 tires

C-10volvo · 05-13-2009, 05:03 PM

I took mine off because it was cracked but have been wanting to put on the 4 inch 4x4 version.

AceX · 05-13-2009, 05:07 PM

Mine is messed up, so I was thinking about making one out of carbon fiber.

TwinTurbo · 05-13-2009, 06:15 PM

Could easily go even lower on the front, but it scrapes as it is on the many many speedbumps here.

AceX · 05-13-2009, 06:17 PM

I really like that exhaust...

TwinTurbo · 05-13-2009, 06:29 PM

so do the neighbors LOL

They like this one even better:

Driveway Dreams · 05-14-2009, 03:00 PM

I have been thinking of getting a 5 1/2 inch for mine. It may be a little low but I can handle that rubbing with everything else.

flamingbig10 · 05-15-2009, 11:09 PM

well I went ahead and ordered a brand new air dam from lmc so I should be getting it sometime next week

Hazieview · 05-16-2009, 08:24 AM

The reason I got mine is because when you looked at the truck from the front you could see my old rusted arms and what not. To me it stuck out like a sore thumb. So I put in the airdam to 'hide it'

this is what I mean...

I think you'll be happy with the install. I was.....

Driveway Dreams · 05-16-2009, 11:57 AM

Hazieview & Malo83: How tall are your dams?

Malo83 · 05-16-2009, 03:54 PM

Mine is 5", 4by without cutouts

Driveway Dreams · 05-16-2009, 04:16 PM

I was thinking of the 5 1/2" from LMC. I am now really wanting it. That looks perfect on there. Part #38-704 on page 25 in their catalog.

copperchevy · 05-17-2009, 06:40 PM

i got mine for $20 through a aftermaket parts company. Keystone automotive industries. They got stores all over the U.S.

Hey I dont mean to hijack the thread but what is the drop and tire size on that truck?

TwinTurbo · 05-18-2009, 07:56 PM

Been so long, don't remember exactly. Front has drop spindles, rear has a flip kit & shackles. Fenders are rolled out. Front could go lower by cutting some more coils but the sway bar hits speedbumps as it is. Tires are 245s on the front and 275s on the rear.
