Anyone own a lowered truck??

['00 WO-YA!]

That truck was hot man, hate that ya lost it like that. My lil truck is am 82. S10 with a 3-4 drop, I'd like to drop the tail another inch or so. My truck sits on 225/50-15's,.I really want to update the look. It needs some 17's on it atleast. I'm thinking something timeless like Torque Thrust 2's.

4/6 on factory arms is as low as you wanna go.. the a-arms may still hit on pot holes and ****. i'm going 4/6 on my chevy but i'll be running full hotchkis with they's tube arms that correct all the angles and have extra clearance built in. i dont really like a lowered vehicle but it'd the only way to get my truck to handle like i want

Yah I've read up on people trimming the drip channel off the bottom of the arm for more clearance. Apparently it doesn't affect the strength of the arm?

I'm a cheap ******! lol.. I can get a 4/6 drop (with shocks) for $600 bucks. Thats 2" springs, 2" spindles, the flip kit, c-notch, and shackles.
If I was gonna spend the kinda money your talk'n about, I would go with a 3 link coilover setup. :iagree:

Here's mine. 4/6 on 20s. Daily driver, doesn't scrub on any bump and minimal tire scrub if you hit a hard bump. Still turns lock to lock without scrubbing anything.

Looks good man, and clean.. Even if it is a Ford.

They only been the best selling truck for 30+ years... Haha
I can't complain about it. 231k miles and never a major problem with it.

 

[Supercrewzn]

I've seen a few people with s10s so here's mine too..
225/55/16 with 3/5 drop. Rides pretty good. Bottoms out on hard bumps.

Yah but Chevy's are the longest lasting trucks on the road.. lol
I'm just give'n you a hard time man. I really don't care, I'll drive anything.
But I do find Chev's easier to work on, and they make more power. (Thats a fact)

Best selling because they're disposable drive it till it dies and buy another!

 

[Supercrewzn]

I'm not brand loyal. Just prefer ford full size trucks and government motor s10s...haha
Old Chevys are easier to work on, ill agree.
I took a bright red and dark red to make that color. Recently had it repainted and the paint was given to me. Those 2 gallons made this color. It's pretty close to what it was stock.

lmao. It's true.
Thats why GM doesn't sell as many trucks. Their all still on the road!!
