sittin purrdy
front comes out to 30.5", rear comes to 28.5". so i think some 1.5-2" drop coils will be perfect. also need to trim the bumpstops lol
Same thing people were saying to me. Like ew you're lowering it?? Had to say yes but just a little bit so you wpuld barely noticed, not laying frame like they thought.
And oh god yes. It rained so I ddnt get to have much fun. But those gears feel so awesome!! I hope I never have to need my extra brake power, but its there if I need it. I think I NEED that locker in there. Or atleast a good posi. The way it takes off id imagine an open diff would suck.
I am loving it!! Can't wait to see how it handles with the front dropped and 0mile, 422, jbas, ported motor . One of these days ill get it
I think the fender gap in front looks about right, so I'd say for daily driver use, it'd be better to raise the back end a bit rather than lower the front. The lowered slightly look with stockish tires gives the appearance of a neglected, sagging suspension. You need big rims with low profile tires to set it off as being intentional.
Lowering the TIB with 2" coils affects a lot of things, too. It's better to keep the ride height where it is if you want the most wheel travel for comfort and keeping things aligned right. It'd also be cheaper not to buy drop coils and mess with aligning it and getting the steering back in spec.
big rims on a stock truck just looks.. to ummmm.....yea..you won't see a truck at the track or strip like that..maybe in the hood tho!!
You was also loaded down on that trip,you are a couple hundred pounds lighter now.i would redo a highway test.so highway results are in. 3.08 gear and 28.03" tires i got 21.59mpg on the highway. i think mostly around 60-65mph, it was awhile back.
now with 3.73 gear and 28.03" tires i got 25.08mpg on the i64. and 25.28mpg on i64 + back country roads / rock paved roads. going around 60-70mph on 64 and 50mph on back roads.
BUT.... thats what the odometer says. im really only going 0.88 miles for every mile on the odometer.
so i really got 22.07mpg and 22.25mpg.
so im getting 0.5-1mpg better on the highway.
now im waiting for city results to come in, havent had to fill up yet. but so far going off the odometer im at about 17mpg, so my city mileage is prob about the same as before, 14-14.5mpg. i wont know for sure until i fill up.
i need to go check what gear is in my tranny still. so i can fix my speedo. think ill get a chance tomorrow
