Welcome to the forums and thank you for posting pictures of your truck! I have the same kind of truck just a flareside, and I've been wanting 22's and plan on dropping it, now I know exactly what my truck would look like! Thank you!

How big of a drop is it? I'm getting 2-3/4 with 22's.

As do I, but IIRC from someone I know you cannot bag these trucks and keep the STX/Harley valance, they are too low

Love these trucks bagged..are you staying with the bags or body-dropping also ?? Truck looks clean the way it is.. I don't think the flames or 2-tone would do it justice. juss my opinion ... yours looks great dude, can't wait for the build thread

Yeah the bumper does sit a little lower, I havnt done the measurements but I think it will clear when Im laying frame, if not I will just have to get a different one, Id like to find or make a smooth bumper for it, I think that would look awesome.

Im honestly not sure exactly, when I bought it, the back sat waaayyyy lower then the front, the kid said he did shackles and 4 inch blocks in the back and springs in the front, and had beefy tires on it. I put a smaller tire on which dropped it an inch and a quarter give or take and put some modified lower control arms with a deeper spring pocket and it evened out the truck it doesnt look as low in the pics as it is in real life, but yeah, not honestly sure. Its all getting ripped out next month anyway when it gets bagged.

Alright, I was just wondering because I'm dropping mine 2-3/4 and going to be 22's. I'm assuming I'll have a nice inch or two of clearance for the wheel wells.

The first couple of blurry pics threw my equilibrium off a bit... got a little off balance in my chair. But It came back now. Nice truck, should look pretty good tucked. Do me a favor though, no flames.... unless their some high dollar world class under layed hand air brushed ghost flames that are transparent.... Otherwise, a nice solid color or 2 tone rolling thru the top fenders.

Nice truck man. Rims look a little too much for the truck, but that's my opinion.

Would you be interested in trading headlights?
