leos11104 · 06-21-2007, 10:50 PM

Yea I Want Lower It On Coys 20" But Not Sure How It Would Look

krue · 06-21-2007, 10:54 PM

Take some good pics of it and have the boys Photoshop it for you.

leos11104 · 06-21-2007, 10:58 PM

cool will do that

Longhorn Man · 06-21-2007, 11:20 PM

that looks sharp as it sits i think. I like the slamed trucks too, but that one looks just right.
How bad is it smogging an old truck there in CO? Are one ton trucks (oh, say a 1970) have to pass thetests too?

leos11104 · 06-21-2007, 11:21 PM

jeffspower · 06-21-2007, 11:39 PM

SWEET! Is that state wide? I had looked on a *rather confusing* site about CO's smog checks, and it left me with more questions than answers.
