    it is ain't it? lol. i feel retarded now. the back wheels give it away when you look at it. well anyways. how much would you have to drop a 83 to be close to that? also, standardbyker and guys that are dropped low like that, does it mess with your steering and rubbing when you drop that low?

    siiiiissssyy hahaha

    with mine, its obviously lowered alot. i had to roll the fenders, run shorter tires, and hammer the crap out of the inner fenders whereever it rubbed. but, it does turn lock to lock without rubbing now. and the turning radious of something always gets a bit larger when its lowered. the steering geometry changes, but its not too bad on my truck. its a tiny truck, and turns alot sharper than my cop car did, or my ramcharger does.

    im technically way too low on multiple counts. even when i have been pulled over they dont say anything. i just play it cool. im below minimum headlight height, tail light height, front and rear plate height, and the ground clearance rule they have (no part of the chassis/frame can be lower than the lowest edge of any 4 rims...for mine thats about 5", i have less than 2" clearance lol).

    cut 3-1/4 turns off the coils up front. no spindles. 78 was the end of coil fronts, then they went to torsions. and they dont make spindles. the back has a 4-1/2" block i made, and i pulled the center leaf. no notch. not much travel. im working on a notch very soon though. gotta notch my dodge and bring the back down though. cuz since my clutch pooped i havent had the yota on the road :\

    no, never owned a bagged truck. just not a big fan of em. i mean, some of em look sick bagged, just not my style. there's really no reason, just prefer lowered over bagged.

    running bags makes more sence then stock suspension.




    if done correctly... it will handle better, drive lower and be able to carry more weight then a stock suspension.



    but its alot more work.

    and a pickup is supposed to be for hauling. can't do much hauling once you bag a truck and get rid of most of the bed. lol
