Re: Project '86
AWESOME START!!! How hard is it to raise the bed floor like you did? The work you did on the fenders turned out great also, did you do that to make the tires sink farther into the wheel well? Keep up the good work looking forward to MORE pics Michael.

Re: Project '86
I sectioned the fenders so that the front and rear fenders would be level.

Re: Project '86
COOL, that looks very suttle but still a big difference in the look, i think i will have to try that on my truck. How much did you lower the fender opening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Michael.

Re: Project '86
Truck looks awesome. How much of a "Z" did you do? Can you please give more pics of the front and back suspension. I love the fender idea!

Re: Project '86
OK, I see the front Z to lower the rad support and the front clip, and I see the kit in the back. What did you do to lower the cab to match?

This Z lowers the front core support and the front of the fenders. This one keeps the cab lined up with the front. Think of it as cutting out the section where the front suspension is and raising that section up and welding it all back up. Everyting in front of and behind that stays lined up. |
