Mini Truckin

....i mean a 2" drop isnt that bad....but when you lower them to the ground and you cant get a comfortable ride out of them cause the shocks basicly dont exist....

I have a friend that can put his frame on the ground. The truck rides better than my dad's. (both are s-10's) It's not like you ride around with your truck that low to the ground. I think it's sweet, wish I had the money, just to see that truck tuckin those shiny @ss rims. He says he's gonna put his truck into the mini truckin magazine, but he's gotta finish the interior. Speaking of mini truckin, I was riding down I-95 a few years ago in a nice @ss mustang w/ a friend. Some kids in a truck pulled up to use and started stomping on the gas. Next thing I knew they had hit their hydro's goin at least 80 mph, sparks started flying up, then oil and crap was leaking all over the road, smoke started coming outta the engine. We drove by a few hours later, and the truck was sitting on the side of the road. Lol, some people just don't have brains.

I have a chevy s10 blazer that is lowered about 4 or 5 inches off the ground and me and my dad are about to put a 350 in it with edelbrock performer intake and carb and also headers with flow masters. it has cragar ss wheels and i've got a system to put in it when i have the time. i feel that lowering to far does effect the handling and i personally wouldn't do it unless it was for showing only but since i drive it i don't want it any lower.

PS i love mini truckin

You must be talking about hydros because bags ride smooth. I've got hydros now, and the next one will definately be bagged. There's no comparison. Most cars that have switches can't hop or three wheel anyway, so there is really no pont in putting hydros on them in the first place. I laugh when I see all the ricers around here hit their switches and think they really have a real lowrider.

Now that there is Fast Bag Systems I see no need in hydros...I had a Fast Bag System, but I hit the wrong switch with the wheels turned and POP goes the tire...

Fast air bags are awsome, do you guys just use air, or nitrogen?

 

[RangerMan Premium Member]

I use air with cylenders...I'm not much on Nitrogen...yet...
