    Yea been looking for a set of Civic or Integra buckets, so I know what they will look like in my truck now! Trying to find some black ones though, gonna do a black carpet.

    What did you do to lower your truck? I'm gonna lower mine with Belltechs in the back and a BJ flip and turning down the torsions. Might wind up a little higher than yours sits.

    I'm a little unsure about blocks, I'm gonna first try the removing the center leaf thing and trim my bumpstops. I'll drop the front like I said. If I drop it too much more I'll have to swap out the shocks I just put in, so until I decide to commit to lowering it past 2" I'll just do the simple free mods and see how I like it.
    It's all about how it rides since I'll be sitting in it for almost 2 hours a day every day, mostly on the freeway. If you've ever driven in Oregon, you know the roads aren't exactly, ummm.... smooth. Pot hole repair? Hmm, someday. Definately a maybe. :rolleyes:

    block's are pretty safe if you install them the right,removing the middle spring sumtymes is a back braker on bumpy roads.i'ved driven by oregon a few time's on my way up to lacey washington from fairfield cali.but i still think the road's out here on guam are still alot worst them out there in the main lands.so im thinking you'll be better of with a 3" block with no springs removed and sum trimming of the bump stop's.from wat im thinking?this is wat it would look lyke with the 3" drop im talking bout

    Well for the moment I just wanna get rid of the 4x4 stance... it's higher than stock, no idea why. Maybe someone swapped out the 3rd leaf for stiffer ones? No idea, it rides OK, but it's just too tall, especially in the back. of course standardbyker will tell me it's too tall no matter how low I make it!!! :D

    Once step at a time though, gotta make sure I can make it to work and back safely first! ;)

    I lowered mine with a torsion bar adjust, flipped ball joints, trimmed bump stops and 4 in blocks and trimmed bump stops out back. It rides pretty good for roads here in NC Hell.

    Ya there was a center pull lipped tailgate out there I do remember. What I thought was cool was that all the lowriders in that yard predate air ride...not a one had anything more than a c notch......ALL PRAISE OLD SCHOOL !!!!:D
