which way to go?

[rddiaz]

Wassup fellas, I've been contemplating on which way to go suspension wise. Now I bought this truck to build into a showstopper, but I hate to do a full suspension drop on such a cherry truck, and have to cut up the bed, front fenders, loose A/C. I would really apreciate it if anybody has pictures of an air ride kit out back and the front dropmember without cutting everything up, I just would like to see what it would look like with some 22s front and back. Here is a picture of my truck that I bought a few month ago. Now if I go with The first option (not cuttin) I will stuff a built small block 350 with a blower in it and keep everything stock in and out with the air ride and some billets. 2nd option is to buy an EKSTENSIVE kit, cut the bed, step notch the frame,front dropmember stuff 22s in front and loose the A/C and keep the original 305 cause I sure won't be goin that fast. What do you guys think, or am I being a p$$y about it and do it ..........You won't hurt my feelings.<a href="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n10/rddiaz/?action=view&current=BigRed033.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n10/rddiaz/BigRed033.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

I say go all the way if you want a for sure showstopper. Slam it and put the blown 350 in. But its not my check book.

If you go half way you're just gonna end up wanting more. I'm personally not a "laying rocker" fan but I made mine lower than I wanted at full dump so the ride height would be nice and low.

take a look at N2TRUX's 77 and see if you'd be happy with that. His is a great example of low without cutting the bed:



So I guess I'm not helpin you decide here If you want 22's I think you should go all out.

Hey Mr.FF, you're right about wanting to go lower I had that happen to me on my last build (95 chevy). I put in a 5/7 drop and didn't like it so I ended up wth this:
You got a very nice truck I hope mine looks like that someday!!!!!
Is N2TRUX have a 20/22combo?

First off... good luck with the decision, because there are so many different options and avenues to run with, that it will be hard to decide. It mainly depends on how much $$$ you are wanting/willing to part with. You could run a static drop for under $1K, or you could run a drop member/bags for a few times that.

First off,(silver step) that is an awesome photoshop, I wish I knew how to do that, I guess I'll have to learn because I have so many options ha...
