Kind of low. And I'm driving the same fartbox I did in the winter. By the way were you purposely scrapping the gound?

PolarisINDY500 · 04-01-2006, 05:56 PM

yeah, he did that on purpose. when trucks to that, its called laying/scrapin frame....pretty cool when you see it in person.

see my sig for my summer ride

Nice rig. Isnt that bad for your rig when it scrapes the ground?

PolarisINDY500 · 04-02-2006, 06:04 PM

thnx..

yeah it is "bad" but when you put that type of suspension on your truck, you always beef up/re make the frame with thicker steel. some guys even put on drag blocks so when they air down to the pavement it will scrape the drag blocks and the frame is un touched.

Love the look of the caprices! Looked like your muffler was dragging in the vid though....

PolarisINDY500 · 04-02-2006, 06:24 PM

on one of the other forums i frequent, this is my favorite truck...its VERY VERY hard to lay frame w/ 22's on I-beams...simply amazing

Imo, those kinda trucks are retarted, trucks arent made for that. Their meant to offroad and tear shlt up

IRS JR. · 04-02-2006, 07:24 PM

I'm with you on that one. Unfortunately I drive a buick so your still kind of isolated, lol. Damn my poor ass.

PolarisINDY500 · 04-02-2006, 10:32 PM

im inbetween...

i mean if you got a truck (mini or full size) and its 2wd..bag it, slam it, and drag the pi$$ out of it...that is if your life revolves around driving on pavement...

however, im into lifting trucks...a sweet pre-runner 2wd ranger is bad a$$...but nothing imo beats a lifted super duty w/ the tires clearing the wheel wells

They make bags for Buicks, don't they??? Bling that B/tch!!

Here's my ride.

Since then I have added 18x9 Cobra wheels and Lowered her 3 inches in the front and 4 inches in the rear. I need some new pics of her.

Here's a quick photoshop of her. She's not that low... yet. But will be. I am also planning on tinting the windows this summer, so hence the tinted windows.

PolarisINDY500 · 04-03-2006, 05:07 PM

hey are you on RPS (ranger power sports) ??

it kind of has bags. Dynoride is in the back, which senses a load and levels it out accordingly

. and my cousin told me to put subs in it, said they sound great in it. then i look at it and think "what a POS...my wrx will definetly get upgraded though"

as far as raising/lowerign trucks, im kind of with PI500. the smaller ones look great lowered ( i dont like dragging though) and some look great up. i personally would get a smaller one, drop a V8 in, lower it a bit and have a nice little street truck

(black of course)

polarisindy · 04-03-2006, 07:02 PM

Well i do see it makin sense to lower and spice up a 2wd truck but nothin tops jackin up a 4x4 to the sky and slappin on big ol mudders!

My summer ride..

PolarisINDY500 · 04-03-2006, 08:25 PM

^nice rizzie...must be nice w/ the top down

oh, one more thing...you ever go to the streets of woodfield in schaumburg?

80JD440 · 04-03-2006, 11:21 PM

skidoo_magoo: when my v6 dies, there's a lot of info and stuff to do a 5.0 v8 swap into a ranger, so i'm thinking about giving that a shot. My truck has 145k on it, and it's still in good shape. My truck has actually benn in an accident, but no real damage was done besides cosmetic stuff. They said it was totaled, but I said, bull. Some new body panels and a little paint, and she's rockin' again. 5.0 swap here I come!
