............ very sweet Bro! I also dig the exhaust. How about a few more pics with some side shots? Also what type/size tires are those? And is that the 8 ft bed or 6.5 ft? Hard to tell from those angles. Take care.

 

What a nice ride! Total class act. Very much suites the reg cab short bed format!

Am curious -- any idea how much payload capacity is compromized with the lowering kit? Would like to do something like that myself (slightly less radical, with stock 17" rims), but not if it eliminates my ability to load 'er up with heavy stuff.

 

Very nice. You going to complete the look with a differnet grill & matching lower, & bed cover? mmmm... now that would be hot. And does your state require a front plate? That empty front bracket sticks out like a turd in a punchbowl on an otherwise hot truck.

 

Wow, thanks for all the compliments guys. I'm going to take more photos when it stops raining of the truck from the side as requested. About the lowering and the load, from what I understand you no longer have the ability to put as much weight as you could with stock form. I had quite a bit of weight back there the other day helping a friend move and it didn't seem to really make much of a difference as it rode fine so I don't know.

California requires a front plate, but I have a 92 mustang LX that I haven't put the front plates on since I've had it, so I might just remove the bracket, because you're right it looks like ****. I just finished my door speaker and amp setup, waiting on my stealthbox so I can put some subs under the seat.

I might be looking to get a lid for the rear-end, and I just got my match painted ATS flares in the mail yesterday, when I get them on I'll take pictures as well.

Happy new year everyone, this forum is awesome.

 

Looks great, I love the wheels, how do the Delta 40's sound?

 

They sound great, but if you don't like drone they aren't for you, as at certain RPMS the drone is unreal. Overall, good idle tone quality, really rips when you get on it.

 

I am intersted in hardwiring my ipod to my factory head unit. Any tips? Are you hardwired or modulated?

 

What size are those tires? I am looking at som 285 50 20 that are 1.46 mph off at 65 mph. How does it handlw eith the 2\5? i was thinking about the 2 inch in the back and have seen it...looks cool. You are rifght about the 40 series. I had those on my 2001, and the drone got louder as time went by. Are the magnaflows, or 50 series quieter?

Blue Skys and Peace,

I have the same truck, and the same exact look in mind for mine.

What did the Ground Force Lower Kit set you back?

 

Yes and Yes

The Magnaflows are quieter and give you more HP. The 50, 60, and 70 Series Flowmasters are quieter, and they claim they have the same HP as the 40's.

Evening fellas, I got my complete kit for about 300 bucks through a friend that works at Ground Force, had SoCal Super Trucks install the kit. Just a note, they had trouble getting the truck into alignment with my 20's, Grounce Force said that the kit was only meant to be applied to trucks with stock rims and tires. I don't personally know anyone that would lower the truck and keep the stock rims and tires.

The iPod is hardwired into my Alpine headunit with Alpines iPod module.

Just got done with my ATS flares yesterday, when the rain breaks I'll take some pics.

 

codefidelity
that looks awsome. What procedure did you go through to lower it. Im am going to lower mine if i can find some friggin leaf springs.

 

I just got the kit, which came with everything I needed to drop it. Shocks/coils in the front, flip kit, shackles and **** for the back. It just relocates your stock leaf springs to lower it. I paid SoCal Super Trucks to do it as I did not feel comfortable dropping it myself. I did my mustang and it was a pain in the ***.

 

What size tires, please? I saw a pic of the ground force Ford F150 with 18 inch rims and it looks pretty good. Those Torque masters are old school and look very cool, like the old Cragr SS whels/
