I think my truck is sinking...
I went outside today around 12 and my 68 was normal height, I come back out at 3:30 and it had sank quite a bit- 4 inches in the rear and three inches in the front. I guess the shocks finally went away

Re: I think my truck is sinking...
Three and a half hours to knock that out is pretty good time. What's that convert to in bottles of beer?
;-) Looking good Harold!

Re: I think my truck is sinking...
Looks great! Definitely need some taller tires though. Will make it look lower by filling the wheelwells, and reducing the gap.

Re: I think my truck is sinking...
Def. needs some taller tires. The truck was unmolested underneath, heck the front springs were still black under the grease and the factory pull tags were still attached. It actually took longer to get the rear springs out than it took to get the fronts out. I plan on driving this truck alot. I am slowly building up confidence in it

Re: I think my truck is sinking...
Nice! I like the idea of keeping the stock caps on wider wheels. The front tires look fine to me, but some more sidewall in the back would look better. Great job, I really like it.

Re: I think my truck is sinking...
Geoff you see one set of buckets you have seen them all
![]() ![]() I went ahead and put the rails on earlier in the month as the holes were already in the bed rails, I was actually thinking about pulling them back off but they sorta give it the retro 80's look.
