My throw in. And one when she was getting some touch ups and rolled rear end.

usaf2006 · Jul 11, 2016

dude... your truck is my envy. What exhaust do you have going out the side there? Is it a kit or some custom job?

Tray Burge · Jul 11, 2016

Thank's usaf, it's just the Gibson Cat-Back S/S system with the side mount exhaust. Hey if you like that, check this out. I wanted a Vararam Airgrabber for my truck, but they don't exist so I re-engineered one to adapt to mine and made a custom removable snorkel to go with it. The whole things seals to the bottom of the hood with the added seal I made.

badass man! The stance is just perfect, and I think the rims are just the right choice. One of my favorite trucks of all time. Those 20" rims?

Thank's dude. 22"s

Nice, looks awesome. I was hoping to go with a 3/4.5 drop on mine with 20's to be close to yours, but mine will be riding a little higher, but it'll still look good. Probably be a little while before I drop it, but that's the plan.

Tray Burge · Jul 11, 2016

That's the drop I did on mine, McCaughey's spindles up front and flip kit in back with sport shocks all the way around. But I had to put spacers on the back because the drop spindles push the front wheels out a little.

usaf2006 · Jul 11, 2016

Well I'm 4wd, so I was thinking of going with 2" groundforce springs and 2wd spindles (not mcgaughy's), to get 3", and a flip kit in the rear.

Tray Burge · Jul 11, 2016

I've wondered how a 4wd would handle after dropped? I bet it'll handle like an all wheel drive sports car when it's in 4wd and feel like it's on rails! Let me know, I heard some guy's are doing it but haven't seen any feedback.

usaf2006 · Jul 11, 2016

I'm hoping so. I have a bit more maintenance to do, axle fluids, etc., but then I should be doing the suspension. Planning on 3/4.5" drop, caltracs, 20" rims with some low-pros, and air bags in the rear to help when I haul stuff.

There's a guy on here named Purplewillie, has a QC 4wd lowered 4/6. Looks real sick. He posted some pics here recently. I'm hoping for a bit of rake when it's all said an done.

Tray Burge · Jul 11, 2016

I'd love to add some Caltraks to mine. Mine would bottom out until I put the performance shocks on, now nothing. I do have to take it easy over a speed bump though.

New Rims in; new pics

So it's been lowered 2" in the rear (bought it that way) Has a mere 85k miles on it. Just got my new 22" SRT 10 Rims in that are Machined with Black Pocket Wrapped in 305/45/22 Falken S-TZ05! True Duals and black bezzel headlights. CAI and 85mm throttle body next. Already running a canned 93 Octane Tune from Diablo Trinity.

Lowered mine another 2" in the rear to get the ride height where I want it for the complete suspension rebuild. I think taking the front down another 1/2" and it'll be the perfect stance for me. Now the hard part begins.

usaf2006 · Nov 6, 2016

I hate wandering in here... makes me want to lower my truck lol

Redtruck-VA · Nov 6, 2016

Looks great...

HeavyD · Nov 6, 2016

I can lower my back almost easy enough but lowering my front more would cost too much. :baby:

Redtruck-VA · Nov 6, 2016

Some of you may recognize old Red, she's been around for a long time. I recently put billet wheels on her going back to 20's..

I'm probably going to have about $1200 into the front suspension to get a 6" drop by the time it's done. That doesn't include the initial cost of the McGaughy's 4/6 kit. That's including all new parts and a lot of welding labor costs. There's a lot of stuff in the way when you get that low in the front. Then there's the geometry problems that have to be dealt with to make it a nice ride again.

Redtruck-VA · Nov 6, 2016

If I change the front on Red much more it'll be a coil over conversion.
