Helluva buy, nice job! Looking forward to see your build pics. I like your paint scheme idea. If you're getting rid of your rallies shoot me a PM.

Thanks man, I hadn't decided if I want to keep them yet or not. I thought about keeping 2 and then purchase 2 - 10" and have them powder coated for spares. Not sure yet but I will keep you in mind. Welcome to the thread.

Oh and yes I did cut the bump stops off. They were a bit tricky as they were put on using rivets. Good thing my dad has a big compressor and a rivet buster.

It looks great man!!

Are you pleased with the drop it gave you?

[Claytona08]

Yeah I love the way it sits. I have been waiting to order the rims until after I have it painted but I am itching to buy them now that I lowered it. lol

I will admit the rims would compliment it really well, but I do love the look of the stock rallies.

[Claytona08]

Oh yeah I like the looks of it myself. I just think I would like it better with the 20" Chrome rims....lol

I will have to agree with you there buddy! I had 17's on my DD for the longest time and then when I went and threw 20's it just set it off and makes it look like they belong on the car

So the only thing you replaced on the front was the lower control arm and the spring? It looks good. Do you know if the spring still needs to settle, maybe drop you a tiny bit more?

Yeah I think it should settle approx. 3/4" or so.

Oh I put new shocks on the front as well.

Looks great. Have you drove it much yet? Once the front end settles in the stance will be about perfect

No the front end is out of alignment BAD and I mean bad. I am going to take it to the front end shop this evening so they can work on it tomorrow. Yeah I think the springs will settle on it.

[SeTx67]

I'm sure they'll settle some once you drive it a few miles

Looks very good!!
What was the over all drop on the front and back? I just completed a drop on the front of mine and it came out to exactly 4". The back is next and I am thinking of doing a flip kit but don't want to go too low.

I haven't taken the dimensions on it yet but I think it came out to about 4" I left it at my dads shop but plan on getting it home tomorrow.

[Claytona08]

Ordered rims and tires this morning! Front 20 x 8.5 with 255-40-20 and rear 20 x 10 with 295-40-20. Boss 338 rims and Toyo ProxesII tires. I used forum member "killthewabbit" truck as a go by

Sodell, the rear dropped approx. 4.25" with the 5"flip kit from DJM.. What are your plans for your truck?

Thanks.....

I've been doing some thinking here lately and need some help. I really like the look of these trucks when they have the factory emblems, mirrors, grilles and trim. That is actually what draws me to these square bodies. As some of you know I am having that emblem made "Platinum C10" for the tailgate. I am thinking about replacing the side "Scottsdale" emblems with some "Platinum C10" emblems as well. What are your thoughts????

My truck stays parked in the garage most of the time. I'll have to dust it off next week when I get home
