Default Let's see your Lowered 4x4s!!

From Mild to Wild, post what you've got! I know that a few members have brought their regular 4x4's and Z71's closer to earth, let's see them And if you wouldn't mind, throw in a few comments about how you lowered it, how much you lowered it, what wheels and tires you're using, how was the ride and handling affected, and any other suspension mods you might have done while you were in there:

Here's a shot of mine blacked out and lowered in Photoshop by Gran Patron (it's still actually at the stock height as in the sig...for now )

That's cool thanks for the link! You can actually see the transformation from a truck like mine into 99 rcssSS That's one of the ideas that I've been thinking about. Nice truck 5.3 racer QuicksilverZ71 has a really clean truck too...that SS bumper is really growing on me...

...I'm totally buying a lottery ticket today (Hey, ya never know!)

Removed 2" blocks and cranked down the torsion bars.
Wheels are 16X8 American Racing Atlas with stock tires.
