project: orange crush

Took the truck from long bed to short bed and next is interior! I will post some really nice pics when it is done in a few weeks. Wheels are 20/22 with a 4/6 drop and I may add a 1" black on the rear.

Re: project: orange crush

Thanks for the FIX! I plan on going out and doing a photo shoot when its all done. Does anyone else think I need a 1" drop in the back or leave it?

Re: project: orange crush

I personally like the rake of the truck with the rear the way it is. Also, the gap to the tires is the same on both right now which I also think looks the best.

If you lower the back any more the gap will be less and it will have that "pre-runner" look

X3!!! I have the same size wheels, stance and practically a identical truck (minus the color) leave it alone because your look will suffer.

Re: project: orange crush

truck looks great

if you lower the rear the front will look higher....


Air bag suspension will give you the perfect stance just saying....
