Re: Anyone from Ontario Can.
real big in the south east, a lowrider style car with 20 inch plus wheels.
most look like 4wd's with low profile tires. |

Some progress
Got the 20's off and put the lowering kit in. Now I need to find a set of smooth baby moons that fit that rim. Any Ideas ?

Re: Anyone from Ontario Can.
Another newbie here from Caledonia. Your truck looks much better with the rally wheels than the 20". Did you find a set of caps for them yet? If they are 8" wide rims, I have a real nice set of trim rings that will work on those wheels. Give me a PM and I will tell you about them.

Re: Anyone from Ontario Can.

Re: Anyone from Ontario Can.
My truck uses all 1972 pieces on the original cross member. Would not do it that way if I had to do it again. I think using the later unit would be much easier. I used 2" springs in the front and 3" springs in the back with 235/70R15 tires on 8" wide stock wheels. With the extra inch, yours will sit good. I live in rural country so didn't want it real low.

Re: Anyone from Ontario Can.
That is 2" in the front and 3" in the rear using CPP springs. I have 245/60-15 tires on 8" rims
