I wanna see all of the dropped 92-96's out there. Lookin for ideas and tips on mine. I went with a smaller 215 tire on the front and dropped tire size and dropped the rear 5 inches with a 2 inch shakle drop and a 3 inch hanger drop. Wanting to know how to go further on the front without going to the DJM drop ibeams if possible, hook me up with some ideas, tell me about ur truck. I dont care if urs looks like it just came out of the junk yard or if its a head turnin show truck, if its been dropped i wanna see it. For pics of mine just go to my profile and check out my album, leave me some comments or messages, tell me how ive done. Thanks!!

Can't remember tire size right now, I'm not at home...but the front tires are smaller and have about 1 inch clearance to the front bumper.

 

I love it! I just had surgury but as soon as im back on my feet im pullin the front of mine down another 3 inches. I also have a custom headlight idea in mind thats gonna look pretty cool. And I need to repair the fiberglass visor, finish my sub box and get it in there and I have one of those hoods like your's but its for a mustang, im thinkin bout cuttin the center off and laying it on mine and raising it up a bit for some height and fiberglassing it to my hood. Ill keep updated pics up. What do you think of mine?

 

If you want the front lowered 3" you need drop beams. You wont be able to get it aligned if you heat your coils or anything else. I didn't know there was a 3" drop hanger. Where did you get it?

I used the factory hangers, I just used a grinder to grind off the heads of the rivets, punched them through lifter the hanger 3 inches and drilled new holes, theres pictures in my gallery. Cheap and redneck I know but it will be just as strong and all I had to buy were bolts. Also they sell 2 inch drop springs so you can alter the springs some without alignment issues just not alot. I can clamp the springs down 2 inches and wont have any problems, not the right way and eventually it will get beams and the correct springs but my buddy did it and it works fine, as long as you make your clamps correctly u wont have to worry about them coming out in the bumps. My truck started out as me wanting to mess around and dint have any cash and has become a statement of u really dont have to go to belltech and DJM and pay theyre ****ty prices, u can do the stuff urself, just takes work. You might disapprove of my theory, but personally im proud of my truck and how far its come on the budget ive been on.

 

Great start. It looks like you're murdering it out too. Don't do wheels and rims until you settle on where you're going with the suspension. Dream beams are slick but you need a good alignment guy for them. My hood is from Cervini's in case you were wondering.

 

BTW...DJM best. Buy from Summit. Best price.

 

This would have been the perfect truck for "Knight Rider"

 

Yeah, ive been workin non stop, between in here checking the can's and cant's and getting new ideas and bein out there workin on it. With wheels i was lookintwards sime 2nd gen lightning wheels but im not sure. I found a set of beans for like $350 thats about the lowest ive found and yeah i know this hood is cervinis too, i got it through trading around and was plannin on sellin it but i think i can give it a new home. thanks guys

 

The Toyo Proxies are what was recommended to me by guys on NLOC website when I asked what they all were running with the 3/5 drop and original wheels.

BTW you can get new center caps for Gen1L wheels at LMC truck.

 

My brother calls it Bat Truck.

 

 

Nice specimens !

 

Really good looking truck man, your second picture those are the wheels I want and yeah I know they have new caps but ive got a brand new set I pulled off ofone of my parts trucks in the basemet. I like the look withut them personally, I mean if I had all the chrome trim and everything else theyd look good but I think it has more of a drag racy feel without them =)

And you sooooo have the headligts I want but cant afford haha

 

Thanks.. Yea them 18s in the second pic are actrually for sale..
