Re: dare i?

uuuu didnt you just get the body work donr? id say leave the body stuff allow i think you need the light to pass a safty inspection/ not get pulled over. as for door looks locks ar nice to you car actually locks.

But as far as dropping and big tires go it all good, but i saw a post a little bit ago and he said he would have to go 22 inch in the rear to go that low in a stepside. so know he has to go fleet side.

Just my thought plus i mean come on the paint is new

Re: dare i?

Lower more? Well of course you should. As far as dumping the blinkers, that can be accomplished by adding the headlights with the blinker built in...

Re: dare i?

First let me say nice truck .
Now for your question . I like some of each . I like the bodywork in the bottom pic but I like the ride height in the top picture . If you did it on airbags , you would have it both ways . But................ Its your truck so which way do YOU like it ? That is all that really matters . Frank

and your right f.monroe, ill do to my truck what i wish. lol but im still torn between the two styles... i kinda like the stock look of these trucks, i dont want to change it THAT drastically... im already drastic enough. but then again, it would definately be a one of a kind up in saskatchewan.

Re: dare i?

Damn, I think it looks great either way. Will you still be able to get around if its touching the ground almost. I think it dropped all the down would be just wicked though. Either way sweet ride.

Re: dare i?

o one idea next time an animal gets in front of you. small mind you stomp the gas before hitting it. Why cause when you hit the gas it raises the front letting the bunny under the car as to when brake are applied the noise of the car goes down. Something i learned about my chevelle and a deer. (no i didnt hit a dear but i was alway concerned about it comming you to the windshield to me so the noise up would give me a better chance odf no deer in my car.)

Re: dare i?

I like everything except the loss of the front marker lights, It makes it look anemic and weak.

Re: dare i?

put some round markers/blinkers, they'll go well with the headlight shape.

I like the present look. Too much less is more is too much. I might even consider tasty mirrors and fake door handles.
