Default Lowered Pics (Finally)

I put the Hotchkis in over a month ago and only now got around to washing it and taking some pics. The drop is a 2/4 but I already had the rear lowered 2 inches in the before pics. So I had to raise it back up by removing the drop shackles (which are now in the back of GirlsDoItRight's truck) and installing the stock shackles.

Looks good. I like the color too.

I just put my 2/4 on too. I have pictures now, but haven't gotten around to putting them up yet.

I will NEVER put anything bigger then 18's on there. And the only reason I would go up to 18 is to make room to do a brake upgrade.

"Rotational Parasititic loss"
The bigger the rim the bigger the rotational weight. If you have two rims both weigh the same but one is a is 2 inches bigger the bigger rim will have a bigger rotational weight.

Its the angle. Look at the first pic and its dead on, and in real life its dead on also. It looks a bit off in the pic and I had to go out side to check. LOL
