looking good

72chevyLWB · 06-09-2003, 10:10 PM

DO 20's, The 17's will look small. Just my .02

And what size drop is that? LOOKS SWEET

Slammed '87 · 06-10-2003, 12:30 AM

I dunno, i personally only like 20's or bigger on bodydropped rides. I may go with 18's though, that'll look pretty sweet!, either way whatever i get will be better than 15's, they are just too small.

Currently i have a 7" drop in the front, with Belltech 3" spindles, and cut coils, which are 4" In the rear i have about a 12" drop, with a Belltech flip kit, 5" Removed leaf springs, 4" and belltech blocks, 3". I also just put new lower profile rubber on my rim's so my my lower control arm's are scrapping pretty good, as there is only a half to three quarter's of an inch clearance. I have new control arm's to install, just waiting for my bag's.

VTKidder · 06-11-2003, 08:57 AM

That thing is trick man! Well done

ItsNotABlazer · 06-18-2003, 11:19 PM

I would love to do that to the Jimmy but I would not want the big hump to show........then again maybe it would fit right under the seat. May have to do some looking tomorrow lol.

As of now I dont even have a c notch at all. Tends to be a bit of a bouncy ride

Brad

Slammed '87 · 06-19-2003, 12:26 AM

Hey Brad, i don't know how low you wanna go, but keep in mind my step notch is custom built. If you wanna go low, a step notch is needed, but you could alway's make a smaller one. I don't know alot about Jimmys but i have seen one around the city here, and it look's sweet! I haven't seen it up close, but pretty sure it only has a c - notch. It's not on the ground, but nice and low!

ItsNotABlazer · 06-19-2003, 12:50 AM

Well I do drive the Jimmy a lot so I doubt I would go as low as you did and I am not looking at getting air suspension anytime soon. I know this might sound stupid but how is the ride with the truck dropped this much? I know you said the front was scraping some but on nice smooth strip of pavement how does it do? Right now mine is lowered 4 or so front and a flip kit in the rear but mine has heavy duty suspension also. I am thinking of getting some more leafs in the rear to replace the old ones. Still in the planning stages right now though. Seems the planning/saving stages take too long huh?

Brad

Slammed '87 · 06-19-2003, 04:04 PM

Brad: Before i built my step notch, i was riding pretty hard in my c-notch, which was bad, cause i could have cracked my frame, but now, other than my a-arm's scrappin every now and again, it ride's sweet. Nice and smooth! I almost forgot what it was like to have suspension in the rear of my truck, hehhe
