Re: new shoes!!

The truck and the new shoes look good. How much is it lowered, and how?

Re: new shoes!!

There's a reason so many people get those, and it's because they look sooo good. Great struck, great stance.

Re: new shoes!!

Looks perfect.

Which rearend is under your truck?
71-72 or the narrower 67-70 housing?
Also,... how big of a spacer on the rear wheels?

Re: new shoes!!

Is the spacer a 6x5.5 to 5x5? or did you change the axles to 5 luggers? Nice!

Re: new shoes!!

Nice! Lot's of WA people on this board! How often do you drive the truck? Mine is a daily driver and I'm thinking about bags for it but don't want to if it's too much of a hassle for everyday driving.

Re: new shoes!!

Absolutely beautiful truck, perfect stance, perfect color and now perfect wheels! Awesome job on this one.... so I assume if you (read me!) had a 72' rear end, then you could skip the spacers? Or maybe just a 1/4" spacer? The 71/72' rear is 1" wider than the 67-70' on each side correct?

EDIT: Also, can you give out the back spacing you used and the tire sizes?

Thumbs up Re: new shoes!!

Nice choice. Nice look. Nice truck. I installed mine a little over a week ago now. I had to use a 1/4" spacer but haven't drove it since I installed it. Been sitting in the garage. I went 8.5 up front and 10 out back.
