Title: Lowering 76 swb
Post by: rpo_2002 on August 20, 2012, 10:58:11 pm

Fixing to order lowering kit for my truck. My goal is lowered but not so much that the truck looks low. Really want to tuck the wheels and tires. I would really like if u guys could post some pics and description of what drop and wheel and tire size.

* My dad gave me this truck 13 years ago and 7 years ago I sold it. Finally was able to buy it back. So this time it is NEVER leaving again. So gunna do it right. I just want the stance to be where we both can agree. So I plan to show him the pics and wheel and tire size so we can decide and go ahead and order the new stuff. 

Thanks in advance,
Robert

I was thinking something like 3-4 with a 20" wheel all the way around. Or maybe a 3-5 with a 20 in the front and a 22 in the rear. But if u have a pic of something different I am def open to ideas

To Tuck the wheel (in my thoughts of the description) you would need to be lower than 3/5.  Tuck to me means the top of fender opening is well over the tire.  Check a few pics in the Rides section or in the Gallery section
