    I can not believe you are lower than me. Those damn smaller wheels makes my static truck look so big. I guess i have to bag it soon.

    You guys should re-start the static movement. Back in the day trucks were almost laying frame on static drops....BRING IT BACK hahaha. Im turning gears on mine so be on lookout in my build thread cause over the next few months its going oldsckool back to the roots of the early 90s

    My problem is Im already bagged however Im not going to do my planned bodydrop so with the other oldschool mods I have in mind I think it will be a very good balance of old/new school. However getting a couple guys to keep it traditional with the hella slammed rides with some oldschool paint schemes and boyds or smoothie rims would be so legit. Either way good luck with your build bro and I hope mine will continue well too.
