Guest cam'ron Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I have a 90' isuzu pick-up, just bought it for $450, runs like a champ, my friend is like the mad mechanic of lowriders, we were gonna put 4" lowering blocks on the back, and just adjust the tortioner bar in the front to slam it. any comment, suggestions, or ideas would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I would leave the $450 beater alone. As the previous owner of several slammed mini-trucks, you WILL get tired of the ride produced by lowering a truck that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once he gets the new floorboards welded in the Jimmy, he'll be close to getting rid of the Yota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get spindles or coils, thats the way to go. Turning down the torsion bars is better than hacking or heating your stock coils though. I'm gonna have to disagree with the majority of the people in this thread, and say go for it graemlins/thumb.gifgraemlins/thumb.gifgraemlins/thumb.gif I love slammed trucks, it's unfortuanate that I've never had the money to do anything with mine. Kinda sucks that so many people on here are so negative towards them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I would not do it unless it is mint and has the poss. of being a "show" truck. other wise you just have a beater that just rides bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I like the beeter handling from not truck however its not worth a fuck for hualing anything around now. first decide what your going to use the truck for then decide if it should be lowered or not.

desperado Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Yeah, put that shit in the weeds! Lower the better! And remember that it's not low enough untill you have to be dragged off a speed bump because you got hung up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
