    and what is the overall diameter of your wheels/tires? i think if i go any lower in the front i will start to hit the inner fender "roof" with my tires, and i dont think that is a good thing, lol, and unless i airbag it(not totally sure i want to) i dont wanna have to cut out my inner fenders.......if at all possible

    ry ry is right......im fine, small bump on the head and scape on my knee, but my truck is no more, not 100% sure if they will total it, but i dont see why they wouldnt, the insurance company just made it seem like it might be fixable for some reason.....but i doubt it


    and i hate to say this ryan but if financing allows im going with a 4x4 this time, like i originally wanted from the get go, just couldnt afford the one i wanted cuz i was too young...haha, but i may be outta the lowered scene for a lil while, haha, plus we have baby numero dos on the way, and i really need a double cab like nobody's business, i am gunna miss the black beauty though, i loved that truck, and to think it was about to get supercharged......damn the luck


    might find me an 04 or older mini to slam and rock...we'll see

    i have USAA, which is supposed to be "the best" but i dont know, i think they leave much to be desired, but we'll see how this turns out, i do think i wanna go the 4x4 route though, and maybe find me a single cab down the road to slam and what not, also that way i can get a 5-speed like i should have gotten, we really need a double cab thats an auto cuz the wifey cant drive stick very confidently, haha, but i love having a standard(my 93 paseo is also a 5-speed).....just waiting on the insurance company to figure everything out so i can get paid and get my next project, i mean tacoma!!!!! haha


    i'll probably make a thread with all the damages, we went and took like 100 more pictures or something, my wife went photo crazy, haha

    don't you hate it when you finally lower your truck and after awhile you just think you can go another inch or 2 and it just bugs the shit out of you??! I think i might just swap blocks for a 4'' instead of the 3'' I have now. I also have some stock x-runner coils on the way but now I'm debating if I should stick with the 1.5'' spacers that I have in front or switch them out to a 1.75''... what do you guys think? I just want to get it perfectly leveled or I'm gonna spend a grip of money aligning my car everytime I switch out suspension parts all the time.

    btw heres a pic of how it sits now and the rear gap just annoys me thats why I wanna go lower.

    IMG_20110614_140124_982f8d00c2b178398948fa342531bae7f973e63a.jpg



    Front: 4.5''
    DJM Arms
    1.5'' Spacer

    Rear: 4.75
    4x4 Leafs
    3'' Beefed Blocks

    By switching the spacers up front and installing the x-runner coils plus the blocks I should be sitting at 5''/5.75''..

    I've been taking all my lowrider projects to true line in chula vista off e street. They got an underground pit and specialize in lowered vehicles and hot rods. $40 for front end alignments, last time i took it in they said I was a lil over -1 degree of camber and i was in a hurry to wrk so I didn't get a chance to get a print out.

    I'll make sure ill get that info next time around!

    Yea that's what I thought, I gotta suck it up and deal with the camber wear. Still a lot cheaper frm my last project. Spent over 13k on mods and was no where close to being finished... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eex-IrKARlo&feature=youtube_gdata_player
