Re: Let me see your stance!!!

Here is mine. 2" lowering springs in the front, 2" springs and 1" block in the back. 15x8 1980's 6 lug truck rallye's. 255/70R15 Cooper Cobra's. Its actually closer to sitting level than it looks in that pic.

Do you a sideways pic of your truck as I'd like to see how she sits from the side.

Would you have side shot of your truck to post and what size tires you running?

I'll have to take one. I don't have anything straight side since I added the rear blocks.

You know Jay, back in the day I wouldn't have given that color combo a second look stock. BUT with that stance, tire/wheel combo I have to say it's absolutely gorgeous. It looks killer to me. Love it.

Thanks, Boog. When I started my build I was not going this direction either. It wasn't going to have any trim or white paint on the side, just the roof. And, I really debated going with dark blue. But, in the middle of doing the truck I had to take about a 6 month break due to $$ and family issues. So I had a lot of time to think about it and look at at a crap load of pictures of other trucks, and it steered me towards this look.

I really appreciate the positive feedback. Take care.

Boog, I agree. There was a Super on CL Little Rock that color a while back, and I kept going back to it. Wish I had gone to look now.

Re: Let me see your stance!!!

A dropped spindle with the stock spring will ride the same as stock. The spring rate does not change with a spindle swap.
