New look for my truck
Well about two months ago i decided to sell my air ride setup and go back to a 5/7 drop with 15" wheels. After a long time of waiting for parts she is finally done. It is now sporting a 5/7 drop, 15x7 and 15x8" American racing Hopster wheel with a 245-60-15 up front and a 255-70-15 on the rear. here are two picturs, one is before with the bags and the second one is obviously the new setup.

Its the factory maroon color with a little bit of copper added into the basecoat.

I loved the bags and loved riding it with on the ground, but i started having problems with the rear of the truck wanting to sway really bad when i was going down the freeway or going atleast 60mph. I decided to sell the air ride and go back to a lowering kit and build a motor for it. Once i took the air ride off, i realized the panhardbar, where it bolts to the frame, had broken a chunk out of the frame and cracked it on the bottom side.

Those pictures are like day and night. They are a perfect example of why I don't want 20"+ wheels on my truck. If someone asks me why I don't want 20's, I'll show them these pictures! Silverado SS 20's are an exception however.
