Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
Really well actually. A lot better than most people would think a lowered truck would.
The spring rate isn't overly aggressive and the rebound adjustment in each shock really gives you the ability to fine tune the ride quality. Its nice being able to dial in the ride using that adjustment instead of just settling with whatever comes out of the box with other kits. Im really happy with the way it turned out.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
The goal was a timeless hotrod flavor..truck has been done since 2012. Only had about 10k miles since done.
Work.just didnt allow any time to really enjoy, mostly parts store runs and a couple cruises. |

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
I'd say you nailed your goal.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
I will have to dig up the specs...
They are actually Coys, bought 10 yrs ago. 18 x 7 front 20 x 8 rear I decided to go 20" front this year...and they sent a wheel spec'd for the rear. I decided to keep them and order the correct 20...i felt it would be easier to sell 4 wheels vs 2. When they arrive, i will have 4 for sale. The new will also recieve a 1/8" red pinstripe at the beads edge. |

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
Looks like:
Front wheel back spacing would be around 5.5 - 5.75". Rears would be around 5.75 - 6.0":

Me? I would break out the measuring tape & use my current wheels/tires to determine w/more certainty of a yes or no. Look for things that are close to interfering & see how much wiggle room you have.
