Finally LOW

[Orange77]

before and after
4.5/6.5 drop = 3in djm spindles 1.5 western chassis drop spring and flip kit out back with HD springs no c-notch and summit brand shocks. 17in rims with 275/60 on all 4s....Watcha Think?

[tantrumpipeline]

looks good, a 45 series would look good as well, all in what you like though, truck looks sweet love the color

[Kerlijah]

Holy crap dude, I love it!! That orange just POPS!! Do you happen to know what exact paint color it is? Also, what wheels do you have on there? I'm thinkin I might have to go with a similar look on my 79 =) Sweet truck, very jealous!

[cr34t3d_by_d4rkd3n]

dude thats slick!!!! does the front rub at all!?

[Orange77]

Kerlijah= Thanks bro and unfortunately i have no clue according to the PO it was mixed and shot by a friend that owed him a favor, wheels are AEagle 212s were on there before i bought it just had em painted when i got the hood painted

cr34t3d_by_d4rkd3n= absolutely no rubbing in the front lol I was shocked i was already savin up to by different front tires but they work so im leaving it haha dont plan on keeping the rims too much longer they dont have the right backspacing so they kinda sit tooo far in the fender for my taste and the center caps dont snap in, gotta beat the crap outta the dust cover when i order the new centers

[79gmcclassic]

now you need smaller tires and that truck will be perfect!

[N2TRUX]

That made a HUGE difference. It looked good before, but the drop set it off. I agree that the tires look too big, but if they don't rub let it go for now.

What wheels are you going with?

[Orange77]

yea now that i look at both pictures together its insane how much of a difference it made in the visual look of the truck and the handling haha...and yea front tire size is pretty big but they are newer tires have a lot of tread left so not messing with smaller ones, id rather put more dough towards a new set of wheels and tires. Its funny you ask which wheel im going with because i dont know yet. i do know that i want a 20x8.5 up front and a 20x10 out back for sure. As far as wheels go im torn between 4...1.Coys c5 black chrome 2. Boss 338 black face 3. Eagle 225 possibly have face powder coated black or 4. Centerline Smoothie possibly powder coated black face....Any Suggestions on a wheel??? i know theres still issues with almost every wheel i mentioned but well worth the struggle to make anything look good lol

[tantrumpipeline]

225's coated black is my vote, everyone has 338's, even me wishing I waited now

[SeanPaintsFlames]

Looks really good! I've got a similar drop setup on mine, but with no motor I can't even pull it out of the garage to admire it.


I would say that color is Lamborghini "Arancio Borealis".

[N2TRUX]

I'm not a big fan of the black wheel deal, but I know it's huge right now. With that said here are a couple of styles I like.


Boss 334
Clean, simple, contemporary styling-



Eagle "227"
Pro Touring look with out the 3 piece prices




Rocket "Booster"
Classic styling with an updated look.



And heres a couple of new styles by American Racing that I like. Both styles Retro vibe that I like a lot.

DAYTONA



EL REY

[slammed90]

those eagle 227's would look great in that orange one

[tantrumpipeline]

way to confuse a guy N2 those are all sweet choices

[Orange77]

WOW lol i agree tantrumpipeline N2 just blew my mind!!!!!!!!!!! haha and yea i was never a fan of black rims till i had mine painted with my hood wasnt any extra when they did the hood for me so i got a good deal ha but damn those 227s would look awesome, maybe even the daytona!!!.. now im sooo confused lol
SeanPaintsFlames= and if it is "Arancio Borealis" thats awesome haha really keeping the color now

[walka]

looks perfict

[Orange77]

anyone else have any wheel suggestions?

[Your41Plague12]

I would leave that EXACTLY as it sits, wheels, tires, and all. I love the look of the biggest possible tire on a lowered truck, it adds an aggressive look if you ask me. Killer stance.

[Palf70Step]

Truck looks great. I think the wheel look really good on it. They are different from the everyday wheel combos you see today. I'd say keep them and be unique.
