edmonton and area riders

rentedmule · 05-08-2007, 10:47 PM

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 · 05-08-2007, 11:18 PM

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 · 05-08-2007, 11:23 PM

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 · 05-08-2007, 11:30 PM

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)

foxx57 · 05-08-2007, 11:45 PM

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 · 05-12-2007, 07:36 PM

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 · 05-13-2007, 12:58 AM

East Coast Customs, Inc.: RP981X.jpg

fox23 · 05-13-2007, 03:33 PM

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 · 05-14-2007, 12:55 AM

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.
