3 1/2 in. BD on 24s!!

whats up guys, i finally got the chance to start up my bodywork and body drop on my dime! body work and body drop will be done by my friends and members of my club Lasting Impressions out of the shop I Ball Customs. ill be doing the suspension work and helping them as much as i can! it started out as a stock 2001 s-10 x-cab extreme! shortly after i bought it i bought me the o so famous boss 304s, and 3 linked it with bags and cups up front. ive been laying kit now for a bit but i thought it was time to step my game up a bit so this is what i have in store to do:

1. bodydrop 3 1/2 in and tub for 24x10s
2. bodywork
3. shave everything and put some new and different taillights in.
4. sheetmetal bed
5. redo some of the suspension

Re: 3 1/2 in. BD on 24s!!

I just dont see why... They will look ok in the back, but 24's in the front look stupid IMO and very unproportional. But regardless, try to make it look clean and good luck!
