Any bed modifications and what wheel/tire combo?

BarryB · 01-26-2009, 05:06 PM

Hey trenz68 that is one sweet looking truck, so bags and thats it? Again what the tire and wheel info.

*Shane* · 01-26-2009, 05:23 PM

Welcome to the site, please do a search and you will find enough pics to keep you buys for several weeks ... maybe even months.

trenz68 · 01-26-2009, 05:40 PM

Thanks guys..the front suspension has 2in drop spindles and airbags on a 1 1/2 in cup on the lower control arm. The rear i have stoppers to the axle only hits the bed and not more. If i go lower i will have to c-notch the chassis and cut the bed. I have the wood so i didnt want that. The wheels are 20 by 10s all the way around. the front has a 3 in and the rear has a 5 inch lip. clears perfect.

Are you running a compressor and tank or just bags with schrader valves?

Your truck is sweet by the way...

Thanks bro...i have a belt driven compressor with a 5 gallon tank under the bed.

BarryB · 01-26-2009, 09:17 PM

Hey Bob, did you post pictures of your lower control arms after you dropped your truck. If not, would you mind posting up some pics. I'm curious and wanna see how you done it.

Bob 68327 · 01-26-2009, 09:28 PM

I did it long time ago and they are road grimey . Someone on here has posted a much easier way to so it than me . I cut the origional ones and reused the pocket forming new metal around it. You should be able to do it with a large piece of pipe and a flat plate hopefully someone will chime in here . I don't have any pics of them or I would post them up . I also cut the coils despite what some people think it works good and rides better than it did at stock height. Bob

dnd1978 · 01-26-2009, 11:13 PM

Before bags & somewhere in the middle of bagging it.

mixermike · 01-27-2009, 12:06 AM

kevncar · 01-27-2009, 12:14 AM
