6 inch belltech flip kit

2 inch ground force springs,

and 2.5 inch (I know I know

) Chassis Tech Spindles.

It is running Doetsch Tech drop shocks all the way around.

79BIG10 · 03-06-2003, 05:43 PM

Gotta love the long bed trucks with the trim like that. Makes it flow so well!! Know I know what mine would look like somewhat (with a different color of course) if I lowered it.

It rides awesome. I think better than before it was lowered. I will say however that a lot of that is due to the Doetsch Tech shocks. They made a huge difference. I personally am glad I went this low. Once you start driving it you really dont notice the height as much as I thought you would, just have to be a little more careful about hitting speed bumps at 35 MPH

Thanks for all the compliments Guys! I want to give a shout out to LowC10 for hooking me up with the shocks, and everybody on the board whose threads I searched to help me decide on tire size etc.

LMAO!!! I pound the ground enough as it is walking. No need for my truck to do it as well. Besides I like a taller ride for myself. I do like the look of lowered trucks. I appreciate the work that goes into them. They're just not for me as a ride.

**swervin ervin** · 03-07-2003, 03:09 PM

Looks real nice. Nothing at all wrong with a long bed being low. Great job.
