i thought about putting "btw, i noticed the sarcasm" but decided against it

i appreciate all types of custom vehicles except for ricers, not import tuners there's a difference

Your right about the import tuners and ricers. There is nothing wrong with a NA 1.6L that revs to 11k rpms and runs mid 12's in the 1/4, while still getting 30mpg.

A ricer is just some vehicle with too much flashy crap thats held on with 3M tape.

Yea, I have lowered and lifted my truck.

It was originally lowered 2/3, the lifted 5", then lowered 2/4 again, now it's gonna be 4/7 for a while and then it'll be bagged hopefully before the end of the year.

IMO, I'm one of the last people to tell someone that altering your suspension is stupid.

no i dont, i was just saying that because when i was in HS everytime i talked about lowering a truck for handling everyone would always say why in hell would you lower a truck, either lift it on mudders or buy a car for handling

but then again the only car enthusiasts in my school were the import tuners, ricers, and rednecks w/ lifted 4x4s, and 1 or 2 that were into the bagged out show trucks

Default Help

My son has a 07 silverado classic 4x4. After seeing this thread he lowered his truck 5" front using belltech 2" spindles and keys. The rear is 7" . The problem is the front . The alignment shop can't get back to spec. The camber is -3.50 and caster is 5.20. So I called Belltech , djm , & McGaughys They all say you can't go lower then 2-3" up front , Because you will get upper ball joint bind and wipe out the cv's. Then you have the spindle - lower a-arm battle. They all say I'll never get it aligned with more then 2-3" drop. Please help.

i couldnt get my to align either, and honestly the ride wasnt worth the heigh, i have converted to 2wd now with shockwave front suspension, in my opinion slap the stock keys back in and crank those down. it rode like **** 5" lower due to the shocks havin no play
