i like big trucks and i cannot lie
Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭
Hey,do you have the Suzuki Jimmy there, and you seen/ driven one?
I am from Brunei
I'm rocking a full 6 inch rough counter lift and the most important part is your tires I think tires are wear your can spend a lot ...got 35 inc Toyo mud grips on my truck
Good tires are expensive. There are a ton of cheap tires that are cheap for a reason. I've got 33" BFG KO/2 on my truck and they do good for most situations I will get into. They aren't exactly cheep at $300/tire.
Coilovers need regular maintenance and should not be daily drivers? Please elaborate.
I'll just keep stock ride height lol
I'd like a '68-'72 or '73-'87 GMC 2500 with a big ol' 8 or 12 inch lift (springs only, no blocks), clocked txfr case with deep crawl ratio, Dana 60s F&R with 4.88 R&P, and 39 or 42 inch Swampers. Oh, and with a 454 with forged internals backed by a built manual transmission!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I want to raise my truck but its a 2 wheel drive 1980 C20. Does anyone know how?

A friend of mine lifted his tacoma with spacers and it rides like crap. Gives me motion sickness when i ride passenger. The whole cab shakes and moves with every bump and uneven road.
Spacers are the problem. They have no give to them. I didn't want to get crazy on my Silverado so I did a leveling strut. It has the lift designed into it strut instead of adding a block of material that has no give to it.
In FLA, they have got was is called, the squatter's suspension. Stupid, dumb and dangerous.
Is it as stupid, dumb and dangerous as supporting a Governor ( Desantis) who is working to dismantle basic human rights and plunge your state into an fascist fantasy. MAGA is the most significant threat to America since the Southern rebellion.
It's not just Florida. We have that up in Ohio as well. I know a few shops around me and they won't even do the work for safety reasons. Thankfully it's only a small group of people doing it. Now if we could get rid of the larger group of fools making brodozers with wheels stocking 4" outside the wheel well I would be much happier.
With the lowering ethnic look.
The "respect all builds" trend needs to go away. Slammed trucks have always looked like shit. Go get a little ricer if you're trying to slam something.
What do you drive, a minivan?
Nah. Build what you like but don't try to tell me that the rust bucket paint look is actually good looking.......when it isn't.
cutting coils tricky u can take temper out coils makem junk
A cutoff wheel makes quick work without hurting the heat treat.
