Additude Adjustment

[monte0185]

Did some work on the truck this weekend. DJM 3/5 drop anf 20/10 Boss 338 on the rear and 18/8 on the front. Tires came off My vette so I had to buy some adaptors for the different lug pattern. Im still thinking of maybe putting in a set of 1" drop springs on the front. What do yall think? Oh and some thicker tires.

Looks good, YES, 1 more inch in front, maybe 1.5 even.

A rear sport bumper and OEM tail lights will make it look even better.

looks good I'd say chop a coil off the factory coils and see where your at

A sport bumper and hidden hitch and original taillights are in the works. Next time I get some fundage. The tail lights are what it came with. I located a 89-91 front clip as well. So itll probably be first on the list so it dont disappear.

I thought about cutting the spring but 1" springs are cheap enough and if im gonna put the effort into pulling the 25 year old springs out i might as well put some new ones in. I had to do a slight toe adjustment so an alighnment is on the list too. Man the list never ends does it!! LOL

just drop it more an the tires will look perfect!

Looks good!

Looking good. Yes, I agree eventually on some taller rubber and the drop coil...I'd measure compared to stock on the front. Might want to do a 2" coil as the factory coil might already have sagged close to an inch...

Wow! That looks sooo good. I like all your plans, except the front end swap.

Ill be honest on the front end swap. Im kinda on the wire on the over under headlights or the side by side double lights. Some days i like on some days the other. I just know i dont really care for the single headlight.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone. This took me longer this weekend than i figured it would have cause i had to replace all 4 ball joints. But if your in there you might as well do it right while its apart. Ya know.

this is the son's truck. We are working on getting the Boss wheels mounted. I finally have the whole mess figured out and the center caps are of no problem either.

Nice!! I wished my paint looked that good. My center caps would not be an issue if I could find them LOL. I put them in a box before i moved and have no idea where they are now. I only have the 1" rotors so not a big deal with them regardless but since they were the small chevy corvette bolt pattern I had to use adaptors which also made it not problem. Eventually im putting in a narrowed rear end with an IFS coil over front and will be going with a set of Coys more than likely. But till I have the fundage for that I made due with what I had laying around the house. Gotta find some center caps though. I ordered some from the Boss or American Wheels whatever their name is but when they didnt show up for a couple weeks I had to call and ask about them only to find out they cancelled my order cause they didnt have any in stock and they were backordered.

[piecesparts]

We have the 1.25" rotors, but I put on a 1/4" spacer and longer front studs. I also ground down the front hub's metal where the dust cap fits. There is plenty of room now.

Summit racing shows that they have the center caps on hand.

[monte0185]

I looked at that too but it also says they ship from the factory on them. Ill probably order from them with a few other things when I get some more fundage. Trying to find some locally first though.

That front end combo is not that common, so I would leave it. An old member here called Swervin Ervin had a white truck with the same front end. It really stood out from the others.

HMM interesting thought. I figured there were tons of them since it was a base model option for these trucks.

[silvereagle07]

I like it! The front end you have looks good. But I have to agree with others on the rear bumper and tail lights. A tucked in sport bumper would look killer.

I will second the OEM tail lights, I dont like the ones on there, and maybe the thicker tires, I wouldnt go any lower that looks sweat the way it sits now..

VERY clean and good looking truck

I'm in agreement with the tail lights. They were on there when i got the truck and they work so that's kind of a bottom of the list thing. I need to go to the pull a part in Memphis to see what I can find down there. I need a sway bar for the front and a instrument panel with the silver layer on it. My temp gauge is broke so I figured I would just get the fancier one maybe with a tac if i can find it.
