Dropping my 2000 f150

[Ryan1126]

Got all 4 of them for $325.
I have just never really seen a truck I like with solid black rims.

Well i plan on getting ride of all the chrome on my truck, such as the front of my mirrors and my emlems, get it all painted black, then put a super dark tint on it, and smoke out the lights and then put the black rims on it.

yes, I want the clean look, but still be able to get my bike around.

You can. I have a friend who has a hardbody nissan frontier lowered very low and he races dirt bikes and his works out fine. I seriously doubt if you would have any problems carrying around your 450.

I know i wont have any problems with it. I was explaining why i want to drop my truck instead of just getting a car, or suv.

Ya. In Dope City aka Dickson TN, there are many mini trucks and a fair amount of them are bagged.

I thought about it, but i dont want to slam it, because then i will have to plate the bottom of it and shit. I just want to drop it like 6 inches and throw some 22's or 24's on it. My buddy just dropped his dakota, hes pretty much converting it to a RT, he even got the RT rims for it.

Do you know any dependable lowering kits?

just drop it low low, not slammed, and as you described how you want it with everything other than the paint on the car to be black. along with the rims, look for XD Series- Rockstar black rims. they would look sick and would go well with the sceme you want on your 150.

here's a link.

pretty sure you can find them cheaper then the site. i just did a quick search for the look.

Ya I've seen lot of trucks like that.

It's almost a way of life down here for some people.

I drive an fx4, but I still like the bagged truck though. Especially if they can drag.

Those are sick, but for some reason i really want black chrome. I dont care for the flat black. Does anyone know any links to a good lowering kit? i want the works, with lowering arms and shocks and all.

a belltech kit will be your best bet...I have a 3/4 drop on 23s and Im close but dont tuck. It takes a lot to tuck on our trucks. I personally want to drop to a 3/5 drop because I dont like the rake but Ive seen a 4/6 drop on 20s and it looks really good
