The Rims are 20" Torque Thrust II's, Tire Sizes are: 245ZR40-20 Front / 295ZR40-20 Rear. I used EastWood's "Hot Rod Black" Kit and then shot it with a few coats of clear to make it more durable. It's was painted 2 years ago and hasn't faded a bit and look just as good as the day it was painted.

Here's a video I posted the other day: Good Luck!!

Hey 87lowrider,

What exactly did you do to your suspension? It's got the amount of drop and stance I'm looking to do on the truck I just bought. Thanks in advance. Nice truck.

Thanks, It is a static drop. 2 1/2" lowering spindles plus 1 loop cut from the front springs. The Rear is a flip of the axle.

riz · 11-09-2011, 07:23 PM

So you've got a total of 3-1/2 in front and how much in the rear?

Riz

87Lowrider · 11-10-2011, 10:54 AM

I believe it's considerd a 4" drop up front and a 6" in the rear.. That's just how the truck got there (lowering spindles, cut springs and rear flip).

I'm sure there has to be threads here on the actual procedure to get there.

Very nice. Sounds as good as it looks.

I almost sold it this week and backed out at the last minute. I'm actually considering going Pro-Street with it.

riz · 11-10-2011, 09:39 PM

What are you asking for it?

RIZ

riz · 11-10-2011, 09:39 PM

Is the rear notched?

RIZ

87Lowrider · 11-10-2011, 10:15 PM

Can't say here.. It is not notched (yet).
