Looks good. Front lip looks a touch higher than the rear lip in that picture unless you are at an angle. What are your measurements from ground to center of the fender lip? Which drop kit did you go with?

Half inch won't cut it. Gotta drop it at least an inch in the front cuz that saggy ass "bro truck" stance ain't doin it justice!

You have torsion bars in the front, right?

If you can fit your hand between the tires and fender, or under the side of the frame its not a lowrider... That's official, you can look that up somewhere.

Better yet, why don’t you look it up for us? Come on man we are lazy lol. Give us the true definition of low rider. You do know it’s an old term not much used anymore right?

Even if OP's truck was tucking rims, it still wouldn't be a lowrider.

Now, replace those 26s(?) with 17" spokes and whitewalls, slam it about 4" more, add some gaudiness such as wrapping the interior in crushed velvet and gold-plating anything not body colored... THEN it'd be closer to what is known as a "lowrider". Hydraulic suspension may or may not be a defining factor in achieving lowrider status.

Lol y'all a trip .But yes anyway I'm lowering the front an inch. That will bring it a half inch lower then rear giving it a slight rake . Not a 1970s rake but well enough. And by the way it just pissed itself from finally being lowered .lol. Actually not from my truck at all my cousins dirty ass drive way . Thanks for all this replies guys. I love this forum and have learned a lot about the nbs platform. I've been driving lowriders since high school but always obs's .
