Talked to my guy and NEED advice BODY DROP

[MOBmentality]

He said redoing the suspension and body dropping it will be 8 grand.. 5 for the body drop and three grand in a new gas tank , brake booster yada yada...

Soooooo.... Whats up... gimme some feedback... should i go ahead and do the damn thing... or chill where i am a while..

Im thinking body drop...massive cowl hood, full roof sliding rag top and 8/6/tweet combos in the doors with nasty center consoles and 6 12s... Paint the whole truck in silver white and gold graphics and dip the whole think in magenta kandy.

I would kill to have my truck sit as low as yours!!! You just got it back and your sending it away again...................Sick!!!!!!!!

I say leave it where its at and do some crazy interior work!!! My .02

 

[Modded]

Haha dude I would say chill for a while, you don't want to overdo the truck and all that money is not worth like 2" more of drop.
If you cut it up too much and put all that money in it you may never want to let it go, so basically you will be stuck with iy for atleast 10 years, that is if you're not rich as hell (which I suspect with all these mods)??

well its like EIGHT more inches... lol... not rich just lucky enough to have enough work that i can put the time into to afford my hobbies

 

[Rollin Thunder]

DUDE. With that kinda money get some preformance mods going. You could supercharge it for less and make it SCREAM!!!!

 

[Grocery Getter]

Yeah bro' screw that $8K for a few more inches. What is the point, it's not gonna be visually that different the body is pretty much on the ground and laying frame only is important to guys that are into laying frame. I totally feel you and know how much those last few inches is under your skin but you could use that scrilla to make the outside way unique. The full rag top is something I want to do and would be sick, you could change that grill' lol, and as much as agreeing with RT kills me I would go supercharger and some performance mods before laying frame, then you could dust the **** out of the ricers in your sick as land yacht....

Personally I am not into how low your truck is(but I like your truck), I am all about lowered but I think laying frame and sitting so low the wheels camber in looks ***. For me it's all about balance and I think any vehicle looks tighter and more balanced with the wheels just tucked under the fenders but that's just me. It looks like your truck ate your wheels when they get as low as yours but I still dig all the custom work and respect the fact that different folks are into different shot but I'm not the one needing advice on weather or not to sink another $8K into my whip so I thought I'd put my .02 in.


Then there is always the option of kicking me a few grand so I can just get the few simple things I want done, bags, roll pan, shave door handles and such......

 

[Rollin Thunder]

^^^ shaving your handles and putting touch sensors in would be cool too. I wanna know where you can get an extra 8 inches. It looks like its less than an inch off the ground already. That way you could get a sick ass viper system and pop the doors open on the remote, or when you put your palm on the door.

well im an inch or two from running board.. 8 would be those 2 plus the six inches of running board....

im not sweating speed.. i got 189hp bike that shuts off at 206 WITH a passenger.. lol.. 210 w/o.

Besides im thinking of trying to do a sick ass track ready cts(v?)

But im not totally ready to body drop it either.. its just like was said above.. those last few inches are getting under my skin.. i got that itch...

We are gonna redo the paint regardless and do the big ass sliding rag... and probably that hood..

And apparently a different grill!!!!

actually with a custom suspension you can drive a bagged rig 1" or lower off the ground without any camber issues!

 

[Modded]

Repaint?
To what color/style?

 

[NathanJax]

Leave the suspension be... Now work on the rest (like you mentioned you are already doing)

Ok you all might hate this but... we are opening a store for our clothing line called "close(t)" and im thinking of going demo with the truck..

So repaint would be spray the whole truck mirror silver and then cover the whole thing.. corner to corner.. top to bottom.. in white. gold. chrome. and black (for low light) graffiti... the name of the clothing line.. skulls hearts.. louis vitton style all over print.. pack it in hard.. so there isnt an inch uncovered.... designed right so it has a flow to it like the old mini trucking stuff sorta... then cover the whole thing in thick sticky magenta kandy..

and pink or purple anodize the wheels.

Leave the suspension be... Now work on the rest (like you mentioned you are already doing)

Im in jax too btw

 

[Sam Hamm]

i think any lower would be a little too low but whatever you do always looks sick so go with what you like. i think supercharging it would be pretty nice but i understand what you mean with the bike.

i just posted this in another thread but do yours like this. itd def be eyecatching.

 

[OKLAGMCRUISER]

i say at least getting layin doors and tub the front so you can fully lay up front!!!! DO IT MAN!!!

 

[Modded]

Dman that sounds like a plan Mob, with all that will it have a Chamelleon look?

how the hell do you turn the front wheels?

 

[MOBmentality]

no... it will all be sparkling deep ass kandy all the same color..in some lights you wont even see the graffiti ... basically all those colors its painted will get lost.. it will just end up looking like different levels.. so the black or greys will look deeper in the kandy than the golds.. and the golds deeper than the base and the whites higher than the base.

 

[OKLAGMCRUISER]

air up...turn...air down...most ride with air drive like this. it's like having a lowered static vehicle...there is a learning curve to driving it.
