    How much are you bottoming out in the rear? like axle on frame?

    what front shocks you on?


    either way looks sick man, im trying to get mine low enough and eventually put some wheels


    I have only hit the frame when I was carrying my motor and other stuff from Floriduh in November, it was a bumpy 10hr ride. Lol. But other than that, I haven't had any contact with the frame at all. I have Ford Pinto front shocks and I don't know what rear shocks I have, I spent a day at my shop looking at shocks till I found a shorter shock that fit with no mods.

    Brought my truck into the shop today, had to replace my worn out tires for some used tires I paid $20


    Bald tires, no more dorifto for these tires


    Alittle life in these, will save the pair for some other wheels I have for drifting fun


    Ready to Do Work..........


    And finished product



    And on the truck, I like this size better but I need to flare the bed sides badly now since it rubs

    Well, I've already started to gut the interior out and have a bunch of parts piled up already. Its just getting the time to strip it out more and send it to Alabama for the new frame build, suspension, cage and RHD conversion...... And I'm sure I'll add a few things to the list, I'm still debating if I should do suicide doors on it, just to give it that minitruck taste to it.

    Tires get eatin up more, hard to park in tight spots(especially with no power steering) and not to fun to daily in the rain............unless you are drifting purposely, but the rear will kick out on you if taking a turn quicker than normal in the wet

    Had my truck on the lift at my shop this morning, isn't the exhaust supposed to be round?




    I seriously need to redrill these hangers to lower it more in the rear and to also avoid my springs popping out one day


    I even drag crossmember
