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

DrptS10 · 06-08-2008, 09:12 PM

The very front of the rocker dosent appear to be laying out, I could be wrong though. Although the front bumper may be laying that is quite a gap between the grille and bumper, My guess is that you lowered the bumper to make it lay. If im wrong please let me know, BTW im not hating just taking a guess at how you made it lay with a bd and 24's.

boricua4_life · 06-08-2008, 09:15 PM

no the bumper is bolted ALL the way down. its the grill thats all focked up.

DrptS10 · 06-08-2008, 09:17 PM

Damn well it was worth a try. Hah you gotta let us know how you did it.

boricua4_life · 06-08-2008, 10:46 PM

i said it on the first post before the pics.. i put it together the morning of the show and didnt bolt the bed down all the way. thats why its higher.

russell · 06-08-2008, 10:49 PM

No, he's talking about the front fender. I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't line up with the door and there is the gap where it meets the bumper.

boricua4_life · 06-08-2008, 11:19 PM

yup front is all bolted down just the grill shell is ****ed.... the fender lined up too.. and was bolted if u didnt notice.

boricua4_life · 06-08-2008, 11:20 PM

this is whats focked up...lol
notice its crooked and no headlights..lol

rooster52478 · 06-08-2008, 11:24 PM

This pic right here is what I'm talking about. The one on flat ground.

boricua4_life · 06-08-2008, 11:31 PM

okay the one by the door was because it did not have that bottom bolt in... as for the front, i notice it now and im gonna have to check that out! im definately not liking that..

SDimeRockStar · 06-09-2008, 08:35 PM

I knew it haha No one can just say good job and leave it at that...

scrubz · 06-09-2008, 08:44 PM

drew22112211 · 06-09-2008, 09:22 PM

video?

Draggin97 · 06-10-2008, 11:14 PM

not too shabby bro, care to share what you had to do to the front?

drew22112211 · 06-11-2008, 12:27 AM

the truck which is not mine...has barely legal tubular control arms. 2" drop spindles. Firewall is tubbed...7" brake booster with corvette style master cylinder. All wiring and engine computer has been relocated to extended cab where the jump seat used to be. frame notched for tie rods. The same thing that is done to most every bagged and bodydropped truck is done to this one except for the 24s....the truck does not yet lay perfectly flat on 24s but is very close. I think with a little more adjustment it will be there..Thanks for the comments.

Dr. Pepper · 06-11-2008, 03:14 AM

any rims in mind? good luck finding a 24 that is 8.5" wide. well atleast some that look good. all the ones i see are atleast 9.5" wide.

not saying they dont make them, but they sure are rare.

and the truck is lookin good. love the bed.

boricua4_life · 06-11-2008, 09:44 AM

yup i sure did find some rims but yet again changed my mind!!lol...
there gonna b 24x10 with the right offset and a 6 in. lip !!! and still almost lock the steering when turning!!! here they are!! cant wait to get these things on!!!

bdydrp18 · 06-11-2008, 09:55 AM

Milky4204 · 06-11-2008, 07:28 PM

I think the reason your grill and bumper look all messed up is because the bumper is bolted to the frame and the grill is on the core support along with the fenders. Your fenders are pulling your core support back when layed out because your tires are pushing up on the fenders. The only thing that has any give is your core support and the top of the fenders where you cut them for the tires.

one_low_ranger · 06-11-2008, 07:41 PM

any pics of the truck all the way up in the front??

i had 265/30/22 with ART uppers and lowers, 2" drop spindles, and 2600lbs bags, and i could barely clear to turn???
