Project -Beat 2 Death- 2ooo sonoma bagged stock floor bodydropped on 22s

[Dragginbody]

my lift from laying frame with no pressure from the bags yet. i can get atleast 1'' more lift from the bag pressure locking up the front suspension.






the little shop truck you mentioned. def does not get as much lift. i am not hating on the truck here. just posting pics.

[boricua4_life]

dont know if u mentioned it, but what size tires are those??

[Dragginbody]

275 25 24 tires on the 24s

255 30 22 tires on the 22s

[boricua4_life]

you doing the 24s out back huh??

[kandel123]

by looking at the pictures it sure looks like ART control arms. Atleast the uppers are!

[slam]

I do not get why it's such a secret on what arm's lay out...
I think it just dumb.

In one post you could end all this bull-crap about: it lays, no it don't.

I think its kind of juvenile to keep on with it.
Say what you want its just my opinion.

[5.74x4]

cant wait to see more progress pics......subscribes

[98layinframe]

actually now that i think about it... barely legals unijoint arms lay that size out just fine... its just the 1000 price tag that is kinda painful.


but either way, you guys have to get use to kris... he does this all the time. posts pics but wont say how its done. Dont know if you think its gona bring ya more business or something.

[airride23]

thanks for the link to the booster, got one on the way now

[NevurMind85]

yea hes fine by me not sayin, kinda fun to keep wondering how he has done it. keeps my mind working. not only that keeps me comming back to check it out.

[scrubz]

I've seen the little shop truck in person. Tilt bed and everything. bitch is clean

[MGSDime97]

only other thing i can think of that i didnt really post much pics of is my 6 link on my jimmy. its no secret tho. i just didnt take much for pics while working on it because i bagged it little by little while working on customers trucks.

i think it ignorant for people to always say a certain brand control arm wont lay out on a certain size wheel when they never have had that control arm.

people repeat what they read online all the time when most of the time its not factual.

so why not lay down the facts and stop the rumors?

[BlackEsDime]

i'm pretty sure right now, BLF unijoint arms have the market on laying the largest wheels.

well you dont need unijoint anything to lay big wheels.

this is a 29'' tall tire ( 275-25-24 ) laying frame without uniball joint anything.

this is also laying frame on stock spindles.

the upper balljoint is totally maxed out with the 24s. but it does lay out.
would it better to have a balljoint with more articulation? sure. always.

with the 22s on it the balljoints are in alot better shape.

fact is you can lay frame on stock spindles with 22s or 24s if you are not afraid to do a little work.



i spent a little time a couple weeks ago reading old posts and its so funny that when 1 person posts and says something. 10 people repeat it like its factual. then it turns into 100 ect ect

so then u get tons of people posting that something that they have no actual hands on experience with.

thats the facts of the situation.

[boricua4_life]

so thats the 275-25-24 rim and tire combo up front? got any pics of the firewall cuz im doing the same thing right now but with the BLF unijoint arms. lol that would be lots of help! thanks.

thats what I think you meant

[platour22]

for the record you didn't saything that wasn't already said except the balljoint is maxed. So you cleared nothing up. Thanks

[xtucking22s]

wow just state the facts so you can clear up these so called misconceptions. all you are doing it making people even more illinformed until you give us the info. why so secretive? the point of a forum is to help people out, so instead of being all secretive why not post up helpful information, especially since you are a moderator you can post it in the sticky thread, you can solve every bit of illinformed information running around on this forum by posting a helpful summary of what you know to be true in the sticky thread ofr everyone to always be able to reference. whatever....do what you want, stay secretive, and be selfish by holding back "the facts:

if this is so true and you say the forum is for helping people, then why if some people ask simple questions you make stupid comments and tell them to search? i mean, you have one of the nicest trucks on this site and no one can say shit about that, but sometimes you come out as a dick when the whole time on ur thread people were more than willing to help you out and give u the info u needed.

[24laynrox]

lol its not hard, keep them guessing

wait what? i mean i might throw out a smart ass comment in a joking way here and there but i am pretty sure ive always been very willing to help. I post up links to helpful things all the time for people. I thought i was doiing a good job returning the favor. And I dont think I have ever told someone to just search before, because i hated it when people said that to me. I apologize if i ever did that to anyone, but I cant think of a single time i just said "search" without also posting the answer or point thing in the direction of an answer at the least. I wouldnt be anywhere close to where I am today if it wasnt for the help of all the s10forum members.

[boricua4_life]

alright, point proven!! dont wanna get into a little back and fourth contest so back to the thread.

[primerdnoma]

To me those don't look like stock spindles...it could just be the side pic but it doesn't look like it has as much camber as stock ones would. The lift definitely looks like stock though.

So what are you doing about the booster? My 20's on 255/35's with stock spindles have a cunt hair before they hit my 7" booster.

i guess we will just have to stick it out and drive our trucks with drops and no lift If he is really running stocks i for one would like to see some details since i can't even untuck tire in the front with 20's.

[lownoma12]

i know his setup....and i didnt think it would be able to lay out...but pictures dont lie...

[platour22]

or do they

[lowdime96]

the only thing i can think of is that he shortened the lower control arm to reduce the amount of camber when the truck lays out but when you do that you get positive camber when aired up? and i don't see that.

[lade-lo]

what arms are you using? i didnt think i saw

[AVdime]

[kandel123]

i agree also you cant see anything. Its a straight on picture. plus there are no bags in there so the suspension can swing down more. Ill believe it when i see it sitting on air at full lift and tucking a 22!

definately, posting a picture of the wheel tucking and a seperate pic of the skidplate laying doesn't prove anything. i think he just likes the attention, (hence his adjustable bodydrop thread that is so amazing but never goes anywhere) more power to him.

its done just no one knows about it yet

[lowdime96]

maybe they are tubulars and stock spindles off one of his quads LOL

[tohoopty]

ive seen his body dropped blazer in person back in the begining of 07.

[Dragginbody]

this is getting good!

[GCash]

look like ART Arms to me. modded perhaps?

[platour22]

[tolowinorlando]

he might let the cat out of the bag on the 17th at the shop meet lol or he could just hide the truck hahahahahahaha

[Wicked Mayhem]

i just think its absolutely stupid to keep things secretive like this. this is the exact reaction he's wanting out of it so he's gettin his jollies. he thinks its dumb that people say wrong things about what will lay, yet he wont give you actual facts of which arms will lay on certain size tires. so good job on helping out the mis informed

[platour22]

$100 says this truck never see's the projected date. $50 says it ends up on the back burner like his other truck.
