What does that truck look like at normal driving height? I like a lowered 2WD but laying frame isnt for me.

All aired up

whats up fordpower46. you kind of caught me off gaurd and i realized I did not have any pics of my truck raised up. But I do now.

I understand completely that my truck is not in your taste. My dad gives me a hard time about it all the time. But I like it because it is different and that is what i wanted when I started on it almost 2 years ago.

Flatford,
From an appearance standpoint, laying it on the ground is not my cup of tea. BUT! from a technology standpoint, and workmanhip standpoint, I have alot of respect for you and the lowrider guys. Not only are they beautiful pieces of work, but the technology involved is unbelievable. Obviously bags involved, but how did you overcome the Ibeams?

hp246 the beams are stock. the truck has been body dropped 6 inches at the front bumper. The back is 4- linked and notched. I did not have the money to buy drop I-beams but I did have the time to cut the truck up and put it back together.
