Either way is fine.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Since my first car (1970 Datsun 1600) I can't seem to leave the height alone. Up, down, cars, trucks, bikes.... Not a single one. You guys know what I'm talking about.

I think it might be a disease.

Welcome to the forum !

Good lookin truck and Jeep too! I have two trucks now, and have owned three TJs.

Welcome from NorCal! Very nice-looking pair of rigs right there!!!

Zutroy · 04-25-2012, 10:47 AM

Thank you and thank you!

Zutroy · 04-25-2012, 10:51 AM

These 2 pigs are in process as well!

JWall · 04-25-2012, 11:14 AM

Pretty much everything I've had or have ends up lowered.
I have had a few lifted too though.

They just look so much better with an altitude adjustment.

Welcome from Central Florida also!
Yep, nice collection.

It is really great to have this forum. I don't see many of these trucks in the Rhode Island area. Thanks to everyone for posting.

Hey Zutroy ...

to the forum and

from Ohio.

And yep we know

Zutroy · 04-26-2012, 07:51 AM

Yes! That truck is sick.

I've even picked up a Dodge Dakota at a power company auction. I figured, "I'll get this beater that I don't like at all. A vehicle I will just drive." I brought it in for new tires and I heard 33x12.5 Mt come out of my mouth. Of course, once I got home I looked at it and thought... Those wheel wells don't look right. It's gonna have to go up a couple inches.......

I used to lift / lower my Hot Wheels when I was a kid !

Custom paint jobs with Mom's fingernail polish, etc. I'd say I'm not alone though. Model cars were easy. Nothing a match won't fix!!

wp1968 · 04-26-2012, 07:58 AM

got the same problem

Zutroy · 04-26-2012, 09:46 AM

Nice!

One truck we can work on with no jack, The other: We can't fit a jack under...
