Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
nothing new tonight got some mockup tires for it. laid it on 205/75/15
then put the tie rods back on thats why its not laid inthe pic. ordered some parts from kp and sd got lower tub shock mounts the tabs pre cut to fit my raised gas tank member upper circle plates for the back bags so i can gusset them better and add strength. new front lower frame mounts for the lower four link bars.. to make it look better and suck it up closer to the frame a little more. i think it will look way better and give it more clearance this way since i can fit 2 fingers between the bushing and frame so i bought this mount for them http://www.suicidedoors.com/files/im...8pair%29_0.jpg ![]() |

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
so ive got a couple questions for the first gen guys
if i just lay 2x3 in the rail and leave stock part of the frame under it will i have to cut up the floor a shit load if i only go to 3" what about 3.5" and how much of a diff do you think it will make if i make the 2x3 lay on the floor and take out the whole section of the stock frame.. i mean the front part of the frame if i lay the 2x3 in it makes it a lot higher since up there it has two sections over lapped onto eachother on the bottom. makeing the 2x3 prolly 3/8-1/2 of inch higher than if it was just laying on the ground.. does any of that make sense? |

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
front frame horns are always one of the last things i drop after the cab is on the ground. That way you can line the front clip up with the cab.
you'll probably wind up cutting those back off and raising or lowering them to make sure everything lines up. I know every truck is different, some guys wind up having the drop the horns upto 1/2" more than they dropped the cab. i have to cut one of my horns off because it's like 1/4" too high and my front clip is a little bit crooked. |

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
yea i realized that too. both of mine that are body dropped, i dropped the frame horns the same as the cabs nd they wound up not bein the same on one of em the front is higher on one side by about 1/2 inch nd on my ext. cab it needed to be dropped a good bit more in the front so that it matches with the cab

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
after some measuring with the s10 i have come to the conclusion that im gonna have to cut the floor no matter what since the area that is by the front cab mount is so small to begin with i dont really gain that much room fromt he 2x3.. so im just gonna go 3.5

Re: building a sfbd rolling chassis for the girls 1st gen dime
oh ok, ive seen that silver fullsize on craigslist. Ive seen it rollin around when it was flat black by the shell station at the end of paradise lake road. You were 2 cars behind me and i was in my accord. I was like WTF!? WTF!? I dont see to many bagged rides rollin around anymore so when i do i freak out.
Here is my truck, its an old pic. More has been done lately. <img src="http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1635/rhj20zn9.jpg"> |

I know a alot of people with bagged trucks, but non ever drive them is the thing. Therefore i never see any rollin around. Two of my roomates are in sittin pretti and i know all the rest of those guys. Im curious to see all the trucks that are gonna be in your club. I might recognize some.
