Re: LIVEAnimals -< Build Thread >-
So heres where she sits now, I am kinda unhappy with the stance. I dont know if I should make up for it with smaller tires up front (I need new tires anyways), or buy drop springs.
Let me know what you guys think Next on the list is the roll pan install.

Re: LIVEAnimals -< Build Thread >-
more drop! Really though, looking good. I say more drop is never a bad thing unless your roads realy suck and you have to drive it everyday. Than more drop id still good, if you know how to drive for it.

Re: LIVEAnimals -< Build Thread >-
Cut 1/2 coil of the front springs and go from there. If you need more, don't do more than 1/2 coil at a time. 1 coil = approx 2' add'l drop. Price = free.
Right now you are at about a 3/5 or 3/6 drop...you need another inch or two out of the front. Put the trim back on too, it looks soo nice with it.

Re: LIVEAnimals -< Build Thread >-
First off, nice truck. I'd go with a little shorter tires on front and see what that looks like....and what in the world are you guys talking about...LOL. I like the smooth, no trim look myself. All mine will be gone when I am done with mine.

Re: LIVEAnimals -< Build Thread >-
nice truck for the trim I would keep it on solid colors and factory style 2 tones the trim looks really good especially on 73-80s , unless if its going to have custom graphics, if my truck didn't have flames it would have all of the trim

Re: LIVEAnimals -< Build Thread >-
Thanks for all the replys
I'm going to look at some 8" rallys today and maybe some new tires, hopefully that will help a little bit. If not, more drop

Great looking truck. Needs a little more drop in the front. Nice find on the bumper.

Re: LIVEAnimals -< Build Thread >-
It was pretty abused, the bottom was almost stripped from the years and was rusty, I used aircraft stripper and a grinder with a wire wheel.

Re: LIVEAnimals -< Build Thread >-
So I took just over 1/2 a coil out of the front springs and there is practically no difference, kind of frustrated because 2 of the A-arm u-bolts were HAGGED and would not return to their home, so I had to hunt 2 down. Luckily the pick n pull by the house is awsome. Got it back together and to my attention the front went down about 1/4-3/8 of an inch. I guess I will try again.
