PETARO Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 If you pick something stick with it. I can never commit. I get bored with the look of mine every 6 months or so and. Change it. Next step is to do a 2/4 drop from stock I'm going to try my best, I can never either though. I average a new car (not literally new, but different) 1 every 11 months so I'm trying to do my best to keep interest and do something I'm going to love. I'm putting on my 2.5 level so I force myself to narrow the choice to tire brand insteand of size as well. I absolutely love the truck I have now so I'm thinkin its a keeper, otherwise I wouldn't put any money into it. And is the 2/4 drop considered slamming it or is it just a little lower than stock?
LongrangeLauber Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Slam is 4/6 I believe Sent while drinkin' a cold one...
Chris Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 A slam to me is basically having to change a bunch of things including c-notching, a arms, springs, and cutting wheel wells 1
zach1990 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Pretty sure slam means air bagged and sparking down the road when laid out Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
LongrangeLauber Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 My buddy had 2 bagged s10's. They were both junk and stupid as hell. Then again he didn't pay for it granddaddy did Sent while drinkin' a cold one...
Chris Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Im only gonna go 2/4 so it is still somewhat usable Pretty sure slam means air bagged and sparking down the road when laid out Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk That is laying frame
zach1990 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Thought it was one and the same. Since I'll be keeping the 4wd I've played with the idea of building a "street truck" next Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
PETARO Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 That is still pretty cool though, a truck is a truck imo. I dont know much about lowered trucks so I figured I'd ask. If you go with the street truck idea, what all would you add/ upgrade? I'd figure that would cost a pretty penny.lol
zach1990 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 If I went that route with my next one I'd do a 4/6 drop with upgrades to the suspension and steering as well as performance upgrades. Idk if it'd be a practical build on my firefighter budget though lol Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
LongrangeLauber Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 I would do a single cab short bed 2wd and drop it 2/4 or 4/6 and drop in an lq9 built with either a blower or twin turbos. Too much??? Obviously a 14 bolt and 80e swap would have to be done as well Sent while drinkin' a cold one...

PETARO Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Ha I don't think there is ever such a thing as too much and I am actually about to begin "volunteer" work at my local fire station! But anyways 2 days til I have my level on, super excited and will post pics when finished
PETARO Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Alrighty so I ended up throwing the 2.5 " level in the front but did not throw the 2" block in the back. The front sits 1" lower than the rear so it still has a small lean but not too noticeable. Still absolutely love how it looks and will probably add the 3" spindle lift at the end of summer once my tires and rims are on there. 1
