Re: Dually back from paint, and lowered!!

Wow... That looks good man. Your truck is making me change my mind about getting huge 22.5 wheels. The simulators look nice with the lowering kit. I'm still in the planning stages but your truck may have just saved me $4000. Thanks

I recently checked out the duallyscene web site & noticed a bunch of guys swapping the 22~24's. They look decent on some trucks, not so much on the majority though. I'd stick w/16 ~ 17's for a blue-collar build.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

That's what I'm thinking. I still want to use it for work and don't want to have to worry about damaging my $4000 wheels.

Re: Dually back from paint, and lowered!!

Looks Awesome!

What did you use for a rear bumper and was there any issues mounting it? I like yours over the typical step bumper.

its just a blazer bumper, I still need to find some inner brackets but it mounts up with existing holes. I'm going to tuck it in an inch or so when I get some time

Do those front tires rub the inner fenders any?

Re: Dually back from paint, and lowered!!

I know a lot of people do, but I just dont like a DRW CCSB. Short beds for single wheels and long beds for dual wheels.

They do just a bit at full lock like a quick u-turn or turned and a big bump.

I agree, that photoshop looks cool but not really my taste. I MAY bag it though, nothing crazy just an AOL rear and low enough in front to match the back.
