Lowered the truck a little more and new shocks
 
5 Attachment(s)
Got some new coilover shocks yesterday and lowere the truck about 1.5" more in the front, with the extra stiffness from the coils it rides a lot better next week we will be doing some camber mods to help realign it.It almost rides like when I had it lifted.It's a little bouncy, but thats better than it crashing down like it did.

heres the shocks

Looks good, but needs a bath.

anthony84_2004 02-04-2007 06:51 PM

yeah it has been raining a lot, you should have seen it before i rinsed it off.

IronRanger92 02-04-2007 07:05 PM

anthony84_2004 02-04-2007 07:08 PM

rims yes, bumper no. I like my bumper, some don't but that doesn't bother me.

anthony84_2004 02-04-2007 07:23 PM

ah well.. i did like it when your truck was black! but thats a nice coilover kit.. what spring rate is it

anthony84_2004 02-04-2007 07:41 PM

i wasnt referring to u anyway i was talkin about the first guy that posted. Anyways not sure what the spring rate was they are not really coilovers, more like just extra load springs. ever since the truck has been lowered it has been really soft and bottomed out easy. now with these I dont have to slow down for bumps.

HighRollerII 02-04-2007 07:41 PM

nice shocks!

Machine090767 02-04-2007 08:09 PM

my peeve is you guys who can''t decide if you want it slammed or sky high.... must be nice to have $$$$$$$ to play with.

That's what I was just about to ask. So you are still using the torsion bars as well? I had thought about replacing the shocks with coilovers on my truck and getting rid of the torsion bars. I think you might have to strenghten the shock hoops to do that though. It looks good though, nice job!

if you have an edge, it really doesnt cost a whole lot lol

RageRanger 02-04-2007 08:21 PM

:fyou: can i drive on your hood ;).... relax bro sorry for the comment.. just stating a opinion... Truck sites really nice.. Do not think I hate lowered trucks.. My buddy and I are notching his frame on his 95 ranger to drag some frame on the ground :)

UNCCRang49 02-05-2007 03:18 PM

although not a fan of lowered trucks, it looks good. Adding accessories to your vehicle goes along with your personality. Everyones different, and everyones got there opinions, do what you like, and dont even worry with those who say things look like crap, you need to get rid of them. Who paid for the truck? is what I always tell those who say stuff about mine. that goes for lifted or lowered truck. theres my words of peace and wisdom for the year, lol, and in febuary, hell ya, wont have to worry with that anymore. lol.
