Re: Pics of my project

why do you want to lower the rear another inch? The drop looks great!

Re: Pics of my project

I would like to get the truck to sit level. I think one more inch in the rear will do it. Thanks for all the comments. Just a little more info on this project. This is the original paint and almost rust free. There is one small rust spot near the rear wheel from a small dent. I spent almost as much to ship it as I did buying it. But it was worth it to get a nice body. I hope to re paint it red in the next month.

Re: Pics of my project

the rims are 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear. It has 3inch spindles and 2inch coil in front and a bell tech flip kit in the rear. All new suspension in front. The frane was in great shape. I just scuffed it up and painted everything. I have some more pics fron when I first got it and while I was putting it together.I will post then soon.

It looks sweet from here.
Until you get it painted, you should buff it out. The paint is very oxidized, but a weekend worth of polishing would make a HUGE difference.

Re: Pics of my project

Thanks for all the good feedback. I did rub one of the fenders with some wax and it looked good for about a week. I should have it painted by March. I may not lower the rear that other inch, it seems that everyone likes the way it sits. Thanks again for all the comments
