I don't understand why anyone would take such a nice vehicle, especially a truck, and lower it to the point of being completely worthless. One pothole and its done.

His truck looks good in his album, but sometimes you can just over due things. I would be afraid to drive that.

From the point where its laid out, it has 8 inches of lift in the front, and 14 in the rear.

Bartak - thats as low as i'm goin. any more and I'd have to carve out the inner fenders to stuff the 22's up there. It's not worth it for that 1/4" more.

Pretty sure it is on air bags, so he wouldn't drive around like that. He would raise it up to drivel.

uhhhh... ya... I was going to point out that same (obvious?) fact.

Street trucks are not my style, but as street trucks go that is a nice truck!

I don't want to lower my truck like that, but I'd love to install an air bag suspension.... some day... maybe....
anybody want to sponsor my truck???

Way cool dribone! How are the tail lights comming?

I bagged a truck in college and C notched the frame. It was attention getter.
Ladies loved it and it was so fun to change the ride height and angle while rollin.

Keep up the great work... awesome truck!

Don't listen to others trying to knock what you do - it takes a lot of work and effort to setup a truck like yours. Most people don't understand that. Keep doing what you do!

You are still my hero, Dribone. I can only hope to get mine to that stage in the game.
