[rentedmule]

finally got my drop on today. zq8 coils and 3" blocks in the back with trans am wheels, 245/50's and 2" spacers.

[monkey03X]

wow i forgot how high the stock zq8's were but sweet looking truck and hope you lower it more lowerings like crack once you do it you just want more

[rentedmule]

yeah it's funny, I'm so used to driving lifted trucks that it seems pretty low to me! I'm hoping the coils settle a bit, it didn't drop a full 1.5" in the front. I can definately see why it's addicting!

[sonomaguy]

Ya, I hear ya. I didn't know what the big deal was either at first and now I wish I could go lower. It is addicting. Bagging is almost on my list to do now.(Almost)

i found 2 of them at a wreckers and then i got 2 new ones off ebay, theres a dude that sells them on there for $105 each rim, but they are knockoffs though, and no center caps included but u cant tell the diff cause i dont notice, and they came within a week and ahalf man.

the wrecker charged 150 each and he only had 2, the dude in the u.s. has brand new ones for 99$u.s. each and he has very fast shipping, as i have two on my truck if ur worried bout what they look like,

paste this link to look at where i got my rims from.........
eBay.ca: 16" Chevy GMC Blazer Sonoma S10 Wheel Rim Only One (item 190110437805 end time 13-May-07 12:54:11 EDT)

[foxx57]

oh yeah, i was gonna ask u as well, what do u think a stepshaver would look like on my truck? i personally dont like em cause it will make my truck look like a ford ranger in the back and i effin hate rangers, and if i get rear ended then my box will efff up cause there would be no bumper, and canada is running quite low on stepside boxes allready but everyone says i should get one, what do u think?

[LS2Sonoma]

i think itll look like this:

East Coast Customs, Inc.: RP981X.jpg

[fox23]

ya stepshavers make it look a lot better in my opinion. im not really a fan of the fat border around the license plate like that tho ^

[sonomaguy]

Ya, unfortunately that's how it came so I have to live with it, unless, I can find a way to get my gate to open to one side and then french the plate in there and get a roll pan made of steel.

[02dime]

well im doin everything at home by myself and so far ive done the passenger side, i took out the upper and lower control arms and redid all the bushings which cost about $65, 2 new balljoints so another $50, inner and outter tie rods which ran around 45 for the pair and then i paid a machine shop $60 to press out all the old bushings and b-joints and install the new ones so its not too bad i guess, at first i went to midas and they wanted over $1500 to get the shit done, like shit i only paid effin $1700 for the whole damn truck thats crap man...but yeah this weekend im gonna start the drivers side, and gettin the upper arms off are a bi*** cause u have to lift the motor up if u have the 4.3L

[sonomaguy]
