Here's the truck with a true 3"/4" drop.


There's a few adjustments that I have to make but it's pretty much done. The frame has to be C-notched for sure ( there is only about 3" of travel between the axle and frame right now ) and I have to swap shocks.

 

if you need a set of bell tech nitro active(heavt duty) for your truck i have set like brand new. they ride great but i have just bought some adjusatble shocks and can hardly tell a difference from the bell tech. e-mail is felix575@aol.com.

 

Looks nice

I remeber when I first started talking to you rob and I told you and Zor how I wanted to drop my truck and you guys gave me nothing but CHit about dropping my truck because I would loose E.T. and weight transfer for racing. Boy have the times changed!

P.S. Its about time you got some 20"s. I always liked the timeless wheels. How do you like the G-force tires, those where the other tires I wanted to get but Tirerack didn't have them in stock at the time. They got to hook up better then my SP9000's.

 

Rob
It looks awesome, keep up the good work.
What are you doing with the old Boyds??

 

Don,

e-mail me.

Joe,

Times have changed. With the c-notch I'll gain another 3" of travel but that's not nearly enough to get me the 60' times I used to have. It will still be respectable though. This year I'm just going to race it a few times, some FFW events and the ILLNESS races. The truck has served me well so I'd like to take it easy this year you know ??

Shoot me an e-mail Joe. I have some issues I'd like to discuss with you.

 

Hey Rob
I sent you a PM over at SVT for some reason I couldn't send a e-mail from here.

If you don't get it send me one at dhco@rcn.com

Also I found a old post of yours so I know the size 18x10 and 18x9 which will work fine for me.

 

Rob
Looking good i like the new Boyds'. Anyday now and mine will be here boy im really having withdrawls now after seeing yours.
Vin

 

That is Sa Weet! You need to show me some pictures of your interior.

 

Looks great Rob. What did you end up using for control arms? If I remember right you bought 2 sets and were deciding which to use. Did one prove to be better than the other? Is there any weight difference between the new ones and the stockers?

 

I went with Western Chassis arms. The other set I bought were from DJM. The build quality is much better on the Western arms compared to the DJM units and the W.C. arms are made from 4130 chrome-moly. I don't know what DJM uses for their arms but it's probably mild steel.

As far as weight difference goes both aftermarket arms were heavier than the stockers. Approximately 5 lbs. per side.

 

Rob looks awesome.

What size wheels and tires are on there now?

 

Thanks Rob. One last question. What are you running for front springs?

 

krzcwby,

The wheels are 20 x 9.5. The tires are 295/40/20.

Silver-Bolt,

I went with the So-Cal Speed Shop springs ( Eibach ) which are a 1.75" drop on a Lightning. They are a progressive rate and the ride is super nice

 

Yes. Very nice! I will now have to purchase a set.....those will rock-n-roll on a White Truck...thanks for your support

 

Awesome!!! Great Job!!! The Rims and Drop look to good! I wish I could see the truck in person. I'm jealous!!!
