I think you should get Bryan Zang to do a FlyingGiants scheme truck wrap on it.

IMO, looks better stock.

casey g · 07-12-2007, 02:09 AM

lol max i think u have it the other way around lol looks better lowered lol
but would be cool to do a fg scheme on it lol. but no money for that lol

Vic3D · 07-12-2007, 02:19 AM

I'd keep it stock. But send the lowered pics to chicks online.

Defiantly lowered , and while your at it, throw in a rear Belltech sway bar. Super easy install. incredible handling upgrade and relatively cheap too. the handling with just the drop kit alone mind you, will improve your trucks handling by the 10th power. but with a sway bar Muhahaha ....Vic and Max must be old, real old!

I think the deal is...if you are under 20 it looks better lowered...over 20...and it looks better stock...When you have your own kids that drive and they do this...you will shake your head wondering where you went wrong... j/k...When I was in my teens...I had a Honda CRX-SI...it was lowered and tricked out...and had a $5k to $6k stereo system in it...I thought it was extremely cool...Fast forward 22 years...and I still like to mod my vehicles...but..RC Planes have taken over the vehicle mod budget..I would rather have my soon to be new 3.0 Comp-Arf Yak than lay out $7k on new wheels and tires...

Lower that beeotch! I am from the camp that thinks if it's a 2 wheel drive, lower it, if it's a 4x4 then lift it! Never leave it stock! That S-10 is super easy and realatively cheap to do. Get some drop spindles for the front and some blocks and shorter bump stops for the rear and the ride will still be good. Get some shorter shocks and you will be set, I use the Toxic Drop shocks from Summit and the Summit brand spindles. The price is right and they work great. Don't forget to get the front end lined up when your done.

Ah I remember being 17 and doing all the crazy mods to my vehicles, only to grow up, go to college, get married, buy a house and have kids, then realize what a waste of money it was..

I was living in Fayette-Nam, NC when the whole "lowering" craze started. I used to laugh as I drove around guys stuck on the railroad tracks 'cuz they went "too low".

As an old guy, I'd say put the money in an IRA and you'd be done with your retirement, but hey what do us old farts know?

Drop it!

Dude, if lowering it will help you get more planes in it, do it. Other than that, keep it stock for ease of towing the trailer.
