that thing looks sick! I agree the stance can come down a tad.

I agree the ride height looks "okay".....but it can be better....the stance is so important, I dont want to settle for "okay". It has to look bad ass at ride height and then absolutely sick when I drop it.
As for the front bumper....not sure. I wish I could have Tim do that one too, but its just not in the budget, The front bumper has a decent look to it already but I hate the end shape. I may try my hand at some mods and see how it goes. Nothing fancy...just re-shape the ends some...we'll see.... I may even get bold and try the Camaro bumper design like Sick Fish. Worst case is a destroy 2 camaro bumpers :) |
So what is the actual ride height right now.
Just an FYI during the build of my truck. I bought another Sonoma GT and set the ride height at 5". Man it looked good - but boy did driving it suck. In my short 8 mile drive to work i would bottom the truck out at least a half dozen times. and let me tell you after a month the frame had so much road rash it was almost funny. We moved the truck up to 6" and it made a huge difference. Scarry what and inch can do. ( please no comments here ) Quote:

The odd thing about the s10 is the engine crossmember & tranny crossmember are the two lowest points on a s10. But that is only by a 1/2".
So my measurements were: crossmembers: 5" Frame at front of cab: 5 1/2" Frame at back of cab: 5 7/8" Oddly enough many times i would actually hit the frame under the cab and not the engine crossmember. The Syborg project is set at 5 3/4 front of cab & 6" back of cab ride height and will air down to just shy of 3" when parked. Don't forget i'm tucking a 31" tall tire in the rear. Quote:

Oh you started with adding an inch
and now you are talking about "tucking" Does it never end with you. LOL
Car looks great and yes an inch can turn a perfect driver into a rubbing, scraping PITA to drive. Lowered my Camaro an inch in the rear...suspension bottomed on the frame rails, tires rubbed, etc. Put it back and all is well with the world. Sure did look cool that low though. Lowest point on my car is 5.5 at the header flange, any lower and I could not get it on a trailer. You have air ride so you can jack it up to get over stuff and into driveways. Got to love air. If you have the room another inch all the way around would be perfect. The rear spoiler and bumper are worth every penny spent. |
great looking project. so nice to see mopars on this forum. you are so fortunate to have bruning auto work on your car. their work is art. i live in ripon which is next to manteca, and havent found anyone near by to work on my challenger.
