Bought this one yesterday. Trying to iron out some issues.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

Nice! Looks clean, & I dig the old school billets. :chevy:

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

Wow. The stance and those rims look great.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

Ha. Looks like I have a twin brother. I bought mine new in 1997 during the sport truck movement. Did all the work within the first month of ownership and she as been faithful all these years. I started with a full phantom grill and switched to the 88-93 grill. Been like that for going on 22 years.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

Thanks guys, It seems everything done to this truck was done ok but not great.
Everlet have you ever towed anything or hauled much weight. I'm going to use this truck and I hate to raise it back up because it sits pretty good.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

I used to tow a 20’ boat and it was never an issue when it was a 4/6 drop. I even towed an 18’ steel deck trailer with a 1956 pickup on it but that tow was riding on the bumpstop

Now that I’m at a 4/8 drop, I haven’t towed anything. I do have air shocks in the back in the event I need to raise it up a few inches for towing purposes.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

Helper air bags are your friend!

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

I can finally get in on this...

(Has 400lbs of sand bags in the bed) I've since taken out 180lbs). Sits level...should have rake when it's all removed.
Sits on stock 15" steel wheels
F 215/75r15 *may be rubbing*
R 235/75r15 *no rubbing yet*

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

Looks great.. except for that white stuff :lol:

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

100 % AGREED!!! Hate that stuff!

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

Finely finish my 98 with a 4/6 drop and some 22×9 dub baller wheels

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

That looks really good! Super clean. What mods were needed for clearing those, front and rear?

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

Thanks ... nothing major just had to roll the front fender

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

In your thread about the drop where I was talking about the rear being as low or lower than my old '93 with 8" rear drop. Well, that explains it! :lol:

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

I feel I'm going to have to roll my fenders this summer. May do 20's.
Well, now it sits with a small bit of rake. I took a few bags of sand out, pulled off the crazy huge and heavy tow hitch (gonna do a roll pan and hidden hitch).
I'll try to get some pics again if the weather eases up.

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 

Dang! that's my old pickup. I bought it in 1993 and sold it to Mike Andrews in 2009. I sure miss that truck. I thought I needed a new pickup. I wish I could do that over again. Good luck with it, and I hope your son will take as good of care of it as I did. I had the truck repainted in about 2003.
