Oh ok thanx bankrpt you have really helped me out, and about that king ranch wow I had never seen that one before! I really like it.. Do you know if gettin airbags is a good idea or will it just cause a pain in the neck in the long run for making repairs on it?

well if you do it right then it wont be a pain in the neck if you do air ride tech parts its not going to be much lower then my truck and the thing is you wont be able to drive it that low with air ride tech now on the other hand you could take you truck to say ekstensive down in houston and have it bagged correctly they change all the geomentry and you can ride a couple inches higher then where to king ranch is at but any GOOD shop will charge around $8000 to bag it

Oh yeah I have heard of ekstensive as I live here in Houston but wow $8000... I'll really have to think about it... But yeah I kinda had noticed that about ride tech... And I would lke to drive it being pretty low and for it to sit like that kr in those pictures..and the 8 thousand is about how much they would charge to install it and everything?

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3111716 I saw this truck on cardomain and it says it has a 3.5/5 drop... I was wondering if it's on 22's or 20's

that looks like 22" or 24" rims. see how little sidewall it has.

I have 20's on my Expy and there is alot more sidewall than that...or perhaps the guy put a smaller tire to fit inside the drop

you could always do a 22" wheel with low profile a/t tires to keep that "king Ranch" look.

I think you could fit 305/40/22 Toyo A/T's and lower the rear a little but to take the rake out.. that would looks sweet!

But, I do like the look of slammed trucks and never saw a slammed King Ranch so go for that if thats what your feeling, I'm sure it will look good either way!

Has to have air ride cause there is no why a 3-d drop is dropping the fenders on the tires
