New Pics of my 3/4 Drop
I figured I'd start a new thread... here's how my 3/4 drop turned out. 3" djm springs up front... shackle hanger in the back and Nitro drop shocks (shoulda went with Bilsteins). Over I'm happy with the ride except for the shocks.. the front bounce is a little 'buggy' like. I might take a leaf out of the back for another 1" drop and add air bag helpers if I ever need to haul anything. And finally I AM going to upgrade the front sway bar and add a rear one to tighten up the cornering ability.
About the wheels.. I get them off of ebay, the are Rebel Racing 15x10 alloy (light!) and I drilled and tapped them to fit a factory center cap.. I think they turned out pretty good. Edit... It looks like the front tires would rub like crazy but they dont even get close.. I've hit some dips and took some good corners an no rubbing so I'm a happy camper! I don't have to *****-foot it. lol

Re: New Pics of my 3/4 Drop
Yes there is.. but I'm going to get a thicker one.. it'll firm up the body roll... we have some twisty roads around here and I like to drive 'em!

Re: New Pics of my 3/4 Drop
Looks awesome man! So have you done a shirt with your setup yet?
It's really coming together. The wheels look really good lowered like that. |

Re: New Pics of my 3/4 Drop
Try some Bilsteins up front, might solve some of the buggy bounce.
Looks great! Like the tires.
