I figured everyone would have a strong reaction one way or the other. That's what I like about it.

I like that it pisses everyone off lol

I paid 5k.

Not a bad price on a 1 ton thats in decent shape. Not a huge fan of the theme, but it's still pretty clean.

[Forever_frost]

Care to share how much? The ad said they were asking 25k but I can't imagine anyone paying close to that.

I paid 5k.

Is that how it's supposed to be? Just barely clearing? I've been trying to get 4x4 clearance. Once I figure out how to fill it up part of the way then I'll be good.

An air bag is basically a variable rate air spring so the more air you put in the bag, the stiffer the "spring" and it will ride like shit. You want to put enough air in the bags to ride comfortably but still have enough clearance for tires to not rub and have enough ground clearance to not drag the whole bottom of the vehicle off.

[Forever_frost]

Nope, I paid a bit over that.

[Torinoman]

Wrong question.

Unless you paid under 1k for it then it was the correct question.

Yes, its a lowered truck on bags. It's going to be lower than stock even aired up.

Being bagged is all it's got going for it. Don't undo that, besides like someone else said, it's probably a lot of work to put the factory suspension back on it. But, I don't know shit, so take that into consideration.

[Forever_frost]

Probably. The bed cut out is huge and the internal fenders have been removed. The hood scoop is functional though so that's something. I'm pretty sure once I learn to use the air system I'll be fine.

I need to get 2 new batteries because the ones on it wont' crank it. You have to jump it off anytime you want it started.

[Jimbo]

When I air it up, I have no idea where to stop so I max it out and the front wheels have the tops pointing outwards but I get some decent clearance. I have a few feelers out for someone willing to trade stock suspension for this setup.

I'm all for crazy shit if its your thing. Have fun, but why buy it, just to swap out the major part of the build and the personality of the truck? The part that isn't purely garish, at that. Im sure the work done would make it very difficult to go back to stock.

[Forever_frost]

Sweet God why!?!

Wrong question.
