Well the original intention i had when i got the truck was to make it go fast and well corner like hell....so i had my suspension set up for cornering like hell.....i took the load spring out of the rear and put some really good shocks all the way around... and went from the stock sizing tires to some sticky kumho tires and some chrome coated alum. foose 1 run rims........ what was i thinking you ask..... well i was thinking i have hit this curve in the day at 120 not a problem ...... the reason i flipped around 130 was bc i slowed down from 140 lol.... and i dont think that the pavement was warm enough to give me the full turning potential ...... i was getting on the interstate in a s-type curve around 4 in the morn... the first turn was taken around 80-90 and it was to the left and the next one was to the right of which i slowed down to 130 -135 for.......and i nicked the grass between the ramp and the interstate......and sidesways we went and almost immediately upside down as my tires caught the humongous hole strategically positioned by the LA DOTD ... it was about a 3 ft deep hole about 4 ft long..... never touched any part of the truck but the top the body was fine but the inpact somehow bent the frame.... even my bed cover was uncracked along with my other parts........ it was a pretty evenly balanced fast/cornering truck.....hopefully i will get around a 2001 scsb and try to model it after my previous one .....only this time ...... much faster and better cornering......
