Question hi

I just have one question. What kind of suspension mod would you have to do to make a truck sit like a car??? Nothing lower and this is excluding airbags. Since GM will not build any real performance cars, I am thinking about building a muscle truck.

Thank you for your time

Brandon

hi.... well you could do what most guys do and put a Hotchkis 2/4 drop on it, which gives a good quality ride and you are still able to put stuff in the bed... or you could go a little lower like a DJM 4/6.... thats more like a car height with a 1" drop.

there is all kind of combos.

I would go with a 3/4 or 3/5 and not worry about ground clearance. Witha 4/6 you will drag on stuff. The Hotchkis kit would be great for handling!

Let me rephrase that. The Hotchkis kit IS great for handling.
