sounds good, but i think with a fresh coat of paint, and a couple small odds and ends.. you would have a bad *** truck as it is... and spend less money tearing it all down...

ok, how did you get your truck that low? I want my truck that low. Did you just flip the keys, and remove the tbolts?

we'll see how this turns out but building a truck that was as good as scotts you have alot to live up to. His truck was flawless both through all the lowered stages and lifted.

Also No offense but theres no way your going to get that truck as low as his with the 4x4 you have. His truck was dropped on djm arms and belltech coils and flipped rear end. Theres no way a torsion bar truck can get that low even on bags because of the big engine crossmember.

Now Im not trying to start a fight Im just stating the obvious.

iam not trying to slam it to the ground..i had this truck pretty low about ayear ago so i know how far it will go with t-bars..this is not my first tango with the lowered 4wd part...i dont know where you got the bags part but i have no intentions of bagging this truck its virtually inpossible.. if i were to bag anything it would be the chevy.. but i dont want a bagged vehicle right now..

i dont have anything to live up to..iam not here to impress anyone here nor you..if you dont like it move on.. there is always a few in the crowd that have there nasty opinions...but anyways i have good intentions when i mod things.. sometimes they dont come out the way i thought they would...

Im not trying to start a fight but from as i took it you wanted it the same height as scotts truck, and I was stating the obvious theres no way you can get the front as low as his, Now my truck sits lower than his does as I have the same setup but i have an extended cab and v6 so it sits about an inch lower than his did. I know you had it lowered before and not saying you dont know what your doing but I was saying if u want his height good luck because you can get it close but the front will still be higher than the rear.

I know you said you wanted it to look like scotts truck and his truck was clean and if you do you have alot of work in front of you to get it close to his. I have no nasty opinions about this and no harsh words Im just stating good luck and you have alot of time and parts to get to make it close to scotts.

And I know your not bagging it but I was saying even bagged edges when they are layed out they are about the same height as a coil spring truck with a 5 inch drop up front because of the huge engine crossmember.
