What's yall's favorite stance on our trucks?

vectorit · 04-22-2010, 12:25 AM

I like trucks you have to hop into, rather than slide in for the most part.

Not to bash the lowered crowd, since I think they all look cool no matter what.

JesseH13 · 04-22-2010, 01:06 AM

slam it damn it!!!

big_al_71 · 04-22-2010, 07:08 AM

My personal favorite is 4/6 drop....

Ackattack · 04-22-2010, 10:09 AM

I think you left one catagory out between slight drop and totally slammed.

I'm with big_al_71 here, but I wouldn't call a 4/6 drop totally slammed. Totally slammed would be laying frame or rocker IMO.

SATownChevy · 04-22-2010, 10:17 AM

Ackattack: how about lower a arm?

RocketKing · 04-22-2010, 10:25 AM

4/6

**Stocker** · 04-22-2010, 10:37 AM

It depends... I don't own a 2wd, and I find 4x4s to be more useful when moderately lifted.

**N2TRUX** · 04-22-2010, 10:49 AM

Works for me.

Dingfodgy · 04-22-2010, 01:43 PM

Praise the Lowered!!! 4/6 drops are nice, but nothin' beats layin' out on pinch welds!!!

Honestly ...... 4/6 works for me

Just not a fan of slammed in the weeds like a low rider.

Stock72c10 · 04-22-2010, 03:00 PM

The GM engineers got it right, stock all the way.

Cole Trickle · 04-22-2010, 04:32 PM

I think a 5/7 looks about perfect with the right big wheel combo.(tucking a little tire)

Bags are cool but the trucks that actually lay frame dont do anything for me.

I wanta truck that handles like a sports car....I chose the ECE 4.5/6 for my truck.

nastyc10 · 04-22-2010, 05:18 PM

slam it!

truknut · 04-22-2010, 05:57 PM

I'm for the 3/5 or 4/6 drop too. I just can't wait till I can lower mine..

flashed · 04-22-2010, 11:15 PM

I voted stock because thats what mine will be soon. The previous owner lowered mine by heating the springs and it rides like hell. A friend gave me a full set of stock springs to bring it back where it belongs. I like them all but mine is going to be stock.

I did a 4/6 on my 72, and would do it all over again.
No regrets.

DZL1 · 04-23-2010, 08:32 AM

Drop it, slam it, plow it, whatever you wanna call it. Just do it!

**mikey531** · 04-23-2010, 08:52 AM

I am happy with 2

TomJohnston · 04-23-2010, 08:57 AM

2" rear or 1/3 just to level it out a bit.

kernalklink · 04-23-2010, 09:21 AM

i would take a 4" lift anyday - seems like all you southern folk like em low - i have to drive in the snow....

BP68 · 04-24-2010, 03:02 PM

4/6 drop

**70cst** · 04-24-2010, 04:29 PM

Sight Drop...is in the lead big time.

AusTx68 · 04-24-2010, 05:14 PM

I really like the slammed look when it's other trucks. On mine it's 4/6 or even 5/7. I'm not a big fan of all the cutting and plumbing required to lay the frame.
