RobH Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) got this kit on a trade! im thinking about slamming it down to the ground! this is the first custom truck for me ! need to do some research on how to chop the frame and what not.. if anyone has any info please post up! heres my idea!

Jared Roach Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Cool, being a s-series lover I'm watching I know alot about these trucks, so if you have any questions let me know. As for the frame do a simple c notch with bags and a 4 link, it'll be real easy and look nice. Make sure if you are using the body kit fit it before you lay frame or it might not be sitting on the wheels lol. Too bad amt kitted the concept extreme then the actual production truck, even though it came a little later. Edited February 11, 2011 by Jared Roach

wisdonm Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I have no idea what tooltas said. Drop it just like you would on the street. 1" shorter coils and 2" raised spindles on the front. Mount the rear axle above the leaf springs with lowering blocks, between the axle and springs, to get the right ride height, and use Hijacker air shocks to level it out, when you want to carry something.
