Additude Adjustment
« on: January 30, 2011, 08:51:25 pm »
Did some work this weekend. 3/5 DJM drop with 20x10 rear and 18x8 fronts. I think it may need to go an inch lower in the front. Gonna put some Thicker tires on first though.

After

     I think you are right, by your pic's it would look better lower in the front.  Very nice job by the way, much better looking.   ;D

Yep. Would look better a tad lower in the fron, But you can trim a tad off the spring for that , Nice tire and wheel size , but I aint feeling the mustang type wheels.

Front definitely needs to come down some, but give the springs some time to settle before you go further.

I like those wheels!

I'm almost thinking of maybe waiting to trim the springs and maybe trying a 20x8 wheel in the front instead of a 18x8.

I think the 20" up front would make it look better.

As long as there is 20s in the rear as well.

Yes rears are 20x10's. These are rims I had on my vette project that isnt going to get finished so Im canabalizing it for the truck. I have a mosier 9" under it that will be going in the truck eventually with a IFS front. But thats awhile down the road yet.
