Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

I believe it is called a 'Mat' finish. (expensive)

I have seen Bentley GT's, etc have that done, but instead of painting it (bad for resale).... They wrap it in the color they want.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

My '92 burban with 3/4 drop and older than dirt 15in Eagles. Hope to drop it another inch in the rear and change to some updated 17's or 18's wheels in the future.

Just updating the wheels will bring it up to date!
How has the rear been lowered? Here's mine back in the day (1998) with 17's

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Its lowered with 4" leaf springs from Western Chassis. i plan to add a set of shackles to it to bring it on down. Are those Coys or TT2's on your burban? I am going for the hot rod look and those fit very well.

Depends on the brand. There are some companies actually making 19s, but most are milled 19.5s.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Been looking but havent found any that are already machined. I just wish some damn company would make a set of direct bolt on 22s or so and be done with it. I hate the idea of using adapters.

Well I just went to the site again yesterday and the domain is up for sale, so I would bet to say that things are no longer or am I missing something?
