Dragging rear trusks (on purpose) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was thinking of going for that rear end lower than the front lowrider look. I am looking for some photos. Preferably a step side but fleets will do also. If you want to convince me not to do it please post photos.

LVPhotos · 12-21-2017, 01:20 PM

Put a load in it. IMO the CA ghost load is dumb. You want a lowrider build one. Use adjustable suspension, bags or hydraulic. My buddies s10 blazer dose this so he can steer, but lays out. Funniest thing rolling down road but layed out is best.

forestb · 12-21-2017, 01:40 PM

Well I am from California and I am pretty dumb so this should work for me

Thanks for the photo.

Around these parts it's called the Carolina squat. It's really popular with lifted trucks, as in lifting the front only. I can't say that I've seen anyone running like this intentionally on a lowered truck though.

forestb · 12-21-2017, 02:00 PM

this is cind of like what I was thinking only with a 60-66

forestb · 12-21-2017, 11:49 PM

So I did a quick photoshop version with the old paint job (I don't have a side photo with the new paint. I will wait to see what others think before I comment my self.

Ya, no.

Katrina/10 · 12-22-2017, 08:59 AM

I don't understand why anyone would do this.

hewittca · 12-22-2017, 09:00 AM

Well if it's opinions you're looking for, I personally don't like it. I always thought that with the lower rear wheel arch on these trucks they already looked like they are squatting even when level. I'd be going the opposite direction and giving it a little rake. That said, it doesn't look terrible.

retrax · 12-22-2017, 11:55 AM

Looks like something is broken in the back.

LVPhotos · 12-22-2017, 07:48 PM

If stock fenders in front, aired out ends in same look

LVPhotos · 12-22-2017, 07:57 PM

Only stock fenders cause this aired out. When in drive mode is flat.

AcampoDave · 12-22-2017, 10:44 PM

I'm personally not crazy about it, but I have friends who'd be diggin' it. That color (kinda like mine) was cool. Post that new paintjob pic because now I am curious. Nice truck!

rvrfoot · 12-22-2017, 10:59 PM

Here you go

AcampoDave · 12-23-2017, 09:37 PM

^^^Looks great forest, that stance is already perfect.

forestb · 12-24-2017, 10:59 AM

I was already thinking of getting bags for the rear. Maybe it will be something I do from time to time when I get bored. After doing the photo drop I was a lot less interested in actually doing it.

Agreed.

lilpoindexter · 12-26-2017, 11:38 PM

DO IT! I think it looks cool. Normally i like equally flat all around...this is more of 40s or 50s look...but 60-66's look still lend themselves to the look.

Lobotie · 01-24-2018, 06:03 PM

Here in central California we call that star gazing. Not me cup of tea but I prefer it over the rake look, I like it really low and level.
