My other post should have read 2/4 not 5/4 is the drop that I like on some 2wd trucks.

That stance looks much better. It gives a more aggressive stance. I am all for killing the space between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender. When half of the wheel goes inside the fender it just looks dumb. I think they should just take the wheels off and set it down.

The rims on this truck look better also. They are not oversized to take away from the truck.

Nothing like spending 3-4 times what your truck is worth on gaudy, heavy, fugly wheels that don't belong anywhere near an older ford truck.

That 93 looks like a decent truck if it didn't have those stupid wheels on it.

Agreed. Same goes for the overdone stereos!

Good call. Got pics of it dropped?

I actually think it looks good in the pictures. Whats the tank under your truck on the passenger side?

Thumbs up Big Wheels

I agree with the others about big wheels on older trucks. Look on craigslist everyone is selling theirs cheap. Maybe the economy but probably due to the crappy ride because of the stiff sidewalls. If you go offroad and bend a rim because of a 2 inch sidewall, it really is gonna cost to replace it. Be smart, put the money in the truck for things that you really need to replace. Mine is 25 years old and something always needs replaced or repaired. With the cost of big wheels and cost of tires and replacing them in the future you could really have an almost new truck

Oh, my avatar needs an update, that's before it was dropped. What you see is actually on the driver's side, as it's an aussie truck. It's an LPG tank, but it and it's twin that was on the other side are now gone, replaced with a much larger single tank in the tub.

The website in my sig has all the pics/info.
