Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
Looks good. This is roughly the mild stance (with stock wheels) I'm looking at in my '98 for now. Any significant change in handling/ride quality? Curious if you ever haul anything and what that's like now.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
I really dont tow anything, I have another truck for that, it dont ride bad at all. Im sure it would ride better with some bilsteins or something other than the older bell techs i have now.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
In the pic it has 235/60-17 fronts & 275/60-17 rears. Fronts have since been changed to shorter 225/60's because of rubbing.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
1989 on K1500 torsion bar chassis. Flip kit in the back front lowered about 4.5".
1994 vintage 454 w/original T400 & K2500 LD 9.5" 14-bolt. All 1994 dash, A/C system, front clip, PCM and wire harness. Need to find the narrower C2500 LD version of the 9.5" 14-bolt so the tires will tuck in more. After I rebuild the engine & trans this winter I will paint it. Its going to get the rear flares to match the front too. 4-wheel disc w/ proper master cylinder and adjustable proportioning valve, rear sway bar, K2500 ECLB big block torsion bars, poly bushings everywhere. Stops better than any truck I have ever driven and most sports cars too. Out handles your ability to hang onto the steering wheel.
