thehoe92 Lowered 3/5

[killer20072001]

Im suprised you didnt get an 1" after putting that box in.

 

[thehoe92]

I'm glad I didn't haha! I have barely any travel before it hits the fender liner
it tucks tire when I have 2 of my buddies sitting in the back LOL

 

[BOSS]

I'll get fender measurements tomorrow but I remember measuring the front and it being at 32" and the back right around 31.5" but I'll make sure tomorrow

the top isolator was completely removed

How does it ride after that???

[thehoe92]

the only thing I've noticed is noise
everything now gets transmitted through the floor
its not a horrible ride

a lot of my interior creaks now but I have a few things I'm going to try before I blame it on the body drop

lets put it this way.. a body drop is not for everyone, at least not the way me and clean did it

but IMO the stance greatly outweighs the cons of a body drop

I love the look of it

Cool, couple questions...

1) did you consider the S10 body mount swap? I have a full set ready...
2) How did you deal with the bumper mounts? (Did you remove all the top isolaters on the truck?)

[thehoe92]

I didn't consider the s10 body mounts, but I heard/read about them after I did the body drop

ALL top isolators were removed hence why my back hatch is so close to the back bumper and the front grille is so close to the front bumper

Im doing my body drop this weekend. Are you having any issues with it since you have drivin it for a while now? You only took the rubber mounts out between the body and the frame? Or did you take both mounts out. I know that only the one between the body and frame make the difference, but I was just unsure.

Thanks

 

[clean454]

leave the bottom one in and when u take the top one out u have to cut the metal cone around the upper bushing u will see good luck

 

[89 chevy]

Ok, I thought that there was a lip that held the bushing in, I guess I didn't know you cut those off. Did you guys just use a sawzall?

 

[clean454]

ya sawzall is the quickest
the bushing mite be hard to get off but theres nothing that holds the bushing to the metal cone
so GOOD LUCK
its not that bad of a job
loosen all the body mounts first then lift the body off the frame

yeah I've got a shitload more haters now..

 

[89 chevy]

So its fine then?

 

[clean454]

yeah i've got a shitload more haters now..

lmao

 

[thehoe92]

uh the only thing that bugs me is the creaking inside
on turns the I hear the floor board creak right under my feet like something is loose and its pulling the body away from the frame

I'm going to look at it this weekend and see if I can't find a solution

maybe just some WD40

 

[clean454]

dude u can be like the good wrench guy thats under the car while someone drives it! ill be the driver so u can find out what exactly is the problem

 

[thehoe92]

I'm not that skinny
remember I'm just like you now I can barely crawl under my truck

LMAO! I don't want to be the bump stop if thats what your suggesting.. ouch

 

[clean454]

haha i have a greese gun bro i was gunna tell u that bro today but i forgot
so tomorrow we will lube ur truck (no homo)

 

[thehoe92]

I ain't lubin it I think I busted the seal on my drivers side, I looked at it the other day, so I might have been the one to cause those clunks

I got an idea how to get lower I'll tell you tomorrow..


oh and just for ***** sake TYF will see some tuck tire tomorrow in the back
and when I say tuck I mean almost tuck rim

 

[clean454]

dude its on operation HATER! LMAO

 

[89 chevy]

Did you guys remove the rear spring isolators? I guess I didn't see if you removed them or not.
