Yeah its bodydroped. At the time it was on air bags. For the fornt, i used DJM control arms, cut off the spring pocket and welded a plate at the bottom for the bag. The upper spring pocket was also cut and a new one was made further out from the frame. This prevents any rubbing. In back, i had a wishbone 3 link. basically, u have 2x2 as ur bottom arms, and a top bar thats shaped kinda like /\ . Kinda hard to explain, but it was done to clear the gas tank. The bags were mounted on the link bars infront of the tires (Rides a ****load better than right over the axle).

Id say just bag it. U could prolly get urself a whole system for like 800 and thats with fbss.

Theres been a few rides bd'd more than a foot. They look cool, not sumthing id do tho.

It's amazing what you can do with a suspension these days, no doubting that. I am still wondering when lifting the wheels off the ground will be the next big thing,,,98

 

Here's the S-crew I mentioned earlier. This trucks lays the frame on the ground, and there's literally one INCH of clearance under the front bumper. They hang down lower than the regular bumper so they can match up to the ground effects.,,,,98

wish i could see it. i cant get anyting from the world to show up.

 

CPT1,

You must have had a ton of time wrapped up in that truck. But hey it is or was bad azz. What happened to it? did you sell it? $800 bucks really? that isn't bad at all. The thing is that I know very little other than the basics of the air bags. I did however have a Toyota when about 10 years ago that I installed hydraulics on all corners it worked killer but rode like hell.

98,

Thanks for the photo links that truck is awesome but Cpt1's looks lower The have a bunch of cool pics of it definitely a bad ride.

 

Yeah, it's not body dropped yet. He's trying for a magazine quality truck, and he's getting there! From what he told me a few weeks ago, everything on the body is getting shaved, with custom led tail lights installed. His shop is doing well He spends so much time working that he's never on the boards of "either" site. If you have your own business, I guess that's what you have to do.

For you Houston guys, this is worth checking out. He goes by Louie, and his shop is...............

Bullet Customs
1007 Berry Road
Houston, TX 77022

(713) 694-2300

He can get most accessories that you might want, and he's a great guy to do business with. His whole immediate family drives late model F-150's, so as you can imagine the shop is pretty Ford oriented A rare thing these days!!,,,,,98

 

I still have it, it went on hydralics where the back end lifts up like 6 feet high. Im ditching the hydro setup and going back to air tho. That truck has been out of comission for a while,, havent driven it in over a year now. Heres a pic of wut it looks like now.

 

it was put out to the pasture. what plans do you have for it, if any?

98
can you put up a pic of the s-crew, i cant see it

 

I just wanna put it back together. I was thinking about doing 22s and 24s out back with a custom frame and corvette rear, but my pacience has pretty much run out. I need to change my frame still cause of the hydro setup, so just that and sum 20s. Also need to finish the inside of the bed.

Hopefully should be back together in a few months.

 

what are you doing to the bed? besides the smoothing of the outside

 

Mostly the inside. Gonna do new tubs, smooth floor and inside bed sides too. the part that is covered with the tonneau is gonna house 2 15s, the box is gonna go through the front of the bed and into the cab. Wanna try and get sum altezza tails too, just dunno how they will look upside down.

 

Here ya go, crazed!,,,,98

 

Both of your trucks loook sweet Cpt1! I like the flipped taillight idea! I don't have my 01 L taillights on right now and I just looked at them flipped over and they still look pretty darn good. I would suggest you put a pair of those on your truck vs. the non L altezzas. Can't wait to see your truck completed! Is it still gonna be black or you going with custom color and/or scheme?

 

98
grassyass, that is a sweet truck as well. thats a great business card for him

 

Louie must be doing okay I just talked to him today, and the truck is in the shop getting a Nav. front end and candy orange paint. This is in addition to the handles and emblems being shaved. He has a new set of wheels lined up, too. Sheez, some guys have ALL the money, LOL!,,,,,98
