Man that looks horrible.

 

Streetrods, what you bought was pretty much identical to my truck, running boards and cap and all. Then from there I guess we went our separate ways - I actually lifted the rear of my truck by 2" to handle heavy loads without dragging *** and then built a massive front bumper so she can plow through stuff without taking much damage, while you made a very nice and clean daily driver. I like my truck as it just screams get out the way, but yours is simply beautiful!!! How did you drop her, I guess you used the fancy beams in the front, but what about the rear - longer shackles and moving the hangers higher on the frame rails, or what?

TexasGuy, it may look horrid to you, but them folks like their trucks, and they obviously still get the job done, which was the point SVT was making.

 

I was planning on bidding $4500 to $5000 thinking I would put it up for sale for around $7,000.00 (I own a car lot)

It sold for $6,250.00

 

i wasn't saying they can't, just useing it as an example... i was really reffering to the "normal" one that you can jump on the interstate and see.. i haven't seen anything like those on the road

 

Exactly

 

SVT Did the Sport truck stance mild, hell the Gen 1's were more level stock than the Gen 2's never understood that from ford

Keep in mind i am using DJM shackels first hole, Gen 1 coils and Leafs.

 

I hate the stock stance of Gen2s. Lowered they look great though!

I only have 2" drop shackles on my truck now and I like it but I miss the 3/5 drop on my old truck. Cant wait to drop the Lightning

 

I never said those trucks couldn't get the job done. I bet they can haul stuff just fine.

I agree the stock stance on a 2nd Gen Lightning is not all that great. They need to be about an inch lower in the front and 2 inches lower in the rear.

 

I used the DJM kit which has longer shackles.. and a new spring hanger.. You also have to remove the overload spring to install the new hanger..

 

I just bought the same truck streetrod. Looking to do a 3/5 drop as well with 22s. Any more info on installing the drop kit

 

This truck is sick. Sure looks muscle AF. Looks a lot more stock also like a package. I like the narrow look of the 19.5 wheels I see on the armored trucks. Looking for tall/narrow tires for my SRW.
