Pics Of My Drop

[MachineAddict]

well I misspelled "Drop" lol.

I posted these pics on other forums but thought I'd share them with here as well. All I had was my iPhone, but I snapped a few pics and decided to share 'em with you guys.

Notice I painted the spindles black and the Belltech logo red....I have to point it out because my friends told me it wouldn't matter cuz nobody would notice, lol.

I still haven't taken proper pics since I lowered it, I'll have to buy a new camera for that...........for now the iPhone will have to do. Let me know what ya'll think. Thanks!!

Nice :tu:

[gbgary]

the spindles make a very nice drop and don't affect ride or alignment. had them on mine.

[Silver_2000]

fixed the spelling for you

[my2002lightning]

Nice! I like that rake/stance. What other suspension parts you have installed? How do you like the ride-quality?

[Moonshine]

The drop looks nice, but I'm really impressed by the pics. Great quality from an iphone. :tu:

[Ohmsby]

ride looks really good:tu:

[dboat]

E, looks really nice and you have some nice attention to detail.. however, in going with red, well, it is the slowest color... :evil

Very nice looking truck! great job!:D

[L8 APEX]

With some small mods like panard bar, Hotchkis sways and QA1's that thing would handle like a monster.

[T Hogg]

I don't like red, but I would roll that truck. Love the hood and wheels.:tu:

[my2002lightning]

Hotchkis sways with the coils help out alot in handling, etc.! QA1s are another step in the right direction. Looking to go there next.

You might think about locking lug-nuts as insurance, fyi given your pics.

[MachineAddict]

Thanks for fixing the spelling Mr. Boss!

And thanks to all for the compliments/suggestions.

The parts:

Belltech Spindles
Hotchkis Coils
Hotchkis Drop Leafs
Drop Shackles
Adjustable QA1's

The hood is a Harwood 3" Cowl.

The ride quality I'd say has improved over the Bilstein stock shocks but now I'm taking bumps a little slower to save my bumper cover. The first week I didn't adjust the shocks and all the weight was riding on the springs, hooooorrible ride. Once I adjusted the front to 4 and the rear to 5 it changed everything. I didn't bolt the traction bars back on but it doesn't seem to change much and the Nitto's still grab just fine. I really do need locking lugs since my truck seems to attract thieves, so thanks for that reminder.

Red is the slowest color? Whaaaaaaat? It's the absolute fastest. lol

I'm not really doing much for speed just yet because I'd like BC's motor to hold up for a little longer til I go built. Plus if nobody really sees what she can or can't do, they can't really talk smack over speculation, haha.

Thanks again guys. :tu:

Very nice! One of a kind. I can appreciate the work you put into the overall look. :tu:

[HARLEY/SC]

Did u paint ur own wheels or did u get them done?
badazz truck bro!:tu:

[MachineAddict]

The wheels were painted black and silver like this first.

I then photoshopped the drop and the wheels before I ordered anything to see how i'd like it.

Then after the drop I did the wheel lip in vinyl. If I didn't like it it'd be an easy fix to go back to silver. I like it alot now and I'm going to get them powder-coated since paint doesn't hold up too well from rock chips and such. But it's my daily driver so I can't really afford the downtime at the moment. Plus, unless you inspect it you can't really tell it's vinyl aside from the seams at certain points.

Also installed a Pioneer AVIC F-900 BT deck and I found other pics on a friends myspace page that he took on July 4th with his camera which is much better than my iPhone camera, so here they are.
