100% pure sport truck here!
speeder:
Damn they do have a 3/4 kit now! If they only would have had it out instead of the 2/3 kit when I bought my Belltech kit! Oh well, I may switch over in the future sometime.

Here are some pics of my truck. I got 20x9.5 Boyd Coddington Nemesis' on 275/45/20 Goodyears. Notice the tires tuck under the fenders, since Boyd Coddington custom makes each wheel to the customers truck! No ghetto ***** here!

Rims and lowering
Hey 99flareside
Now that you have had your rims and lowering kit on for a while, do you think im going to have any problems after i lower mine?.
Im going with 20" Lightning wheels ( chrome ) and a Hotchkis 3/4 lowering kit. My main concern is rubbing the fender if i hit a bump.
How much space do you have between your fenders, front and back now?, and did you change your shocks?.
I have had two mini trucks in the past so i know to take it a little easier with lowered trucks. How does your truck ride with the new rims/tires and being lowered. A lot of questions, just trying to get an idea what to expect.
Thanks
Larry. ( Your truck looks real good )

Speeder, I don't think you will have any problems with a 3/4 drop. What series tire are you thinking of buying? If you go with 35, 40, or 45 then you shouldn't rub. I'm running 275/45's right now with no problems. But if you go with 50 series or higher you might rub. My current clearance between the tire and fender are: front 2.25 in. and rear 2.5 in. Yes I did change my shocks, they are Belltech Nitro Actives shocks. The only problem I have had so far was I bottomed out in the rear twice on a nasty speedbump, because the person who installed my kit didn't put in the shorter Belltech bumpstops! I'm gonna have to do that myself.

Lowering
Hey 99flareside
Thanks for the information. I called Hotchkis today to order there 3/4 drop kit, they said it was a misprint and it`s a 2/3 drop. I went ahead and ordered it. As far as tires go, im going to get GoodYear 275/45/20 tires. So i should be about as low as your truck when done. I will be getting there sway bar kit later on.
Thanks.

Speeder, my truck is lowered 3/4.
Droopy88, my Belltech kit cost me $480 with the Nitro Active shocks included. Its turns out the Hotchkis kit is indeed only a 2/3 drop but the price is about $150 front springs, $350 rear springs, plus what ever the shocks cost $60 a piece maybe Speeder probably has the exact prices.
Also speeder, post pics as soon as you get your drop on!

Limelight, I got my Belltech kit from Ultra Performance http://www.ultraperformance.com/ They only list the 2/4 drop on the webpage but the 3/4 is the same price. I opted to get the Nitro Active shocks which was another $60 but worth it IMO. Customer service was excellent too!
