i can only wish my truck could go that low to have that problem.... sorry

Mine do and I have about 40 psi left in the bags once they hit.

That’s the only pic I can find of the LCA’s laid out and that’s with 15x8’s w/ 275/60/15’s.

That’s a pic of the damage my wife did when she took the truck up to her job to show her friends, didn’t even make it out of parking spot to leave our apt and didn’t realize the truck was laid out.

Pic of the front maxed out.

Yep, they drag. The control arm pivot point is the lowest part of these trucks...

Not really.

Chevy_68 · 06-25-2003, 02:43 PM

any of you guys ever z'd one of these truks

bagged81 · 06-25-2003, 05:07 PM

I welded skids to the bottom of the crossmember so that my arms would not hit. They sit about 1/2" off the ground. The asphalt takes a toll on them after several times.

Chevy_68 · 06-25-2003, 06:16 PM

bagged 81 you have any pics of those skids

bagged81 · 06-26-2003, 07:09 AM
