And yes that gmc is f'n sick I'm 99% sure those are acrophobia trucks.
lmao!
and definitely x2, if done right bags can increase towing. Hell that blue cc still tows goosenecks.
I think a lot of people dont really understand suspensions enough to understand what bags do...personally i think bags are more versatile than having a static slammed truck cus you can lift up a bagged truck to clear driveways, speedbumps, etc.
yep, the blue chevy and black dodge are aftermath and the other two are acro...

quit whining.

Hell yea dude, static slammed trucks are the worst. Because to achieve the super low stance u sacrifice a lot. Ride quality, turning raidus, towing capability since ur already on the bumpstops if ur not notched, and of course ground clearance. Not to mention all the parts will jus be coming off when u bag it with the exception of maybe ur drop spindles on some trucks. 18 wheelers use bags to tow not leaf springs haha

Air-ride equipped fools!! Buses use air suspension to carry around butt tons of people all day, and they can lower them for wheelchairs and chit.

Whats wrong with the drivers side fog light? Is the actual light okay? Because I was looking on Tasca and found the brackets for $30 each if you need a new one.

The bracket is snapped. But, I believe they already ordered everything. I should have my truck back tomorrow or Wednesday or maybe Thursday. Sometime this week they said. I drove by the shop yesterday and it was closed, but my truck was in the shop and not outside like last time when I checked on it. So, hopefully it'll be done soon. I might not be able to pick it up tomorrow, since Uncle Sam is telling me I'm jumping out of a plane at 800ft, and have no clue when I'll be off.

Awesome. I'll get back to ya as soon as I get paid. I've got a bill for the city of Tallahassee that needs to be paid first, but as soon as I can scrape up the extra, our deal is #1 on my list

Sounds good. I stopped by the shop today after the jump, and they said the truck gets painted tomorrow, and I'll have my truck on Thursday!

Getting truck today supposely. But here is a truck I've seen while working. He's on 285/45/20.



Looks good to me, he also has a rollpan.

Now here is a vehicle I seen while waiting to jump.



My friends and I had to laugh.

That Vic makes me wanna jump lol. And that f150 is decent imo fiberglass & non molded rollpans r ugly & I'm not a big fan of bodykits on any f150 besides the lightning.it's tastefully done tho. Looks like an old man truck no offense

Yeah I was thinking of getting a rollpan but said no to it. I don't know, I'd rather just walk away and laugh at the car instead of laughig then jumping 800ft.

hey, he has my exhaust tips!!

but that doesn't look bad. Like fdime said, tastefully done. The kit somewhat resembles a L body kit too.

That's exactly how I want my truck to stance, minus the body kit/rollpan, and maybe on 18's or 17's.

I present to you all, the new 2003 F150!



Where can I buy a heat protection pad for under the hood?



All new. Only thing I didn't like on the step side, it has a rough spot of paint, but, I said screw it and I'll just get Line-X.
