BIGHERSH, please read....

Hey , I love your wheels, what are they and what size? Also how much did they cost and where did you get them from?

What tire you got on them?

Last question, how much did the wheels cost, and the tires seperately? Just wondering, because those are some nice f'in wheels. I would like to do the same?

Did you lower your chit too?

Let me know , thanks.

She's not lowered though

I haven't lowered it..... Yet.

I was thinking about a 2"/4" drop, but I don't know.
Sometimes I like teh way it sits, other times, it looks like there's still too much atmosphere between the top of my tire, and the lower fender trim.

I've never lowered a vehicle before- that would be a first for me.

I saw a guy in a slammed Tahoe sitting on some 6-spoke 22's the other day. It looked nice lowered.

Other than Shaquille O'Neal's expy's and the Shaq SST Expy, I have never seen a slammed, or greatly lowered Expy. I'd be interested to see some pix....

I hope Silver X doesn't mind me showing off his truck (check out link below). For obvious reasons i would like to see what your truck looks like lowered.

01silvergator, do you have a 4X4? I have only been able to lower mine 3" before it starts to bottom out (the suspension travel) in the front. The rear could do 4" but the ride gets really rough unless maybe you bag it. Even with 22's I still have about 2 1/2" of air gap. Good thing it's black and blends in!. Silver X is an awesome ride! If I didn't have to drive mine every day I'd probably go more xtreem on the drop.

Nice rides all !

Woo- That was nice (Silver Expy) But I won't go that low.

I will have to take time and view those other links. I saw some hot Expy's on first glance.

Just to let ya fellas know, I drive my truck from the streets of NYC to the snows of winter, (drive the truck everday) I try not to make a habit of driving in the snow but.............it even get covered in salt. The only thing I change for winters are the wheels. It took awhile to get the bags dialed so I can drive it like I stole it but never again.

SilverX, How is you experience with the bags? I'm curious how the ride / handling is compared to the springs. I have a 4X4 and am considering bags in the rear to soften the ride and lower a bit, but I spent alot on shocks, and sway bars, and would hate to end up with a big teeter totter. I thought about bags in front too, but few folks make em for torsion bar setups. The handling is more important to be than the look.

Thanks!
