Time for a before and after look....

Here is a couple pics of the 57. 2" Dropped axle and 4" drop mono up front and 6" drop mono in the rear. Same tires for today but will have new WW and a smaller tire up front. 235/75/15 rear and will have 205/75/15 fronts.

Later,Bill

Yup, perfect. What a diff. That's all the ride needed for the look. 235/205 is same combo I use. Will look cool.

Bill,

Looking good! A little too low in the rear for my tastes, I prefere a bit more of a rake, maybe about half the distance between your before and after pics, but thats just me.

Great looking truck!
Bobby

Bill,
That looks great! Let us know what you think about the ride. The mono's have not had a lot of "good press" around here so it will be interesting to see what your experience is.

Good Luck!
