    Whats going on everyone. Im new to the whole lowering scene, usualy into the pre runners, but now looking to try something new (wife got mad at all the money that went into the trucks after the races). I just picked up a 1988 single cab Toyota with the 22RE for $200. (not to bad to start off a project for)

    Thanks I will try to post some more pics here today. As soon as I got it I dropped the front 2" and the rear 3" but the thing sits pretty low as is. Its only on 14's right now, I keep em clean though lol. I want to lower the rear end about an inch more and throw on some 20's. I keep going back and forth about bagging it or not. I figure this will give me a good idea and I can stick with the 20's for awhile till I decide.

    Does anyone know how to get dents out? And is bondo the best way to do this?

    Go with a 3" drop in the rear.

    I have a 3" drop in the rear with 19" rims and theres a 3 finger clearance. I'm also running 35 series tires.

    But, I think a 3 inch drop in the back with 20's and 30/35 series tires would be just right.

    So you think 4" in the rear is to low? cause I already have the rear end dropped 3". And how do you upload pictures on this site I am having a hard time with this lol
