sincity64 · 08-30-2011, 02:42 PM

lil sahara 450r, the wheels are 15x8 and the tires are 235/60r15 front and rear. the rears are a little skinny for my taste but they work for now

lil_sahara450r · 08-30-2011, 03:06 PM

thanks for the info, really like the truck!

SulphuriousSam · 08-31-2011, 05:24 PM

it would be cool to have a gasser 60-66

but it would suck as a dd

maybe on my next truck!

Sitting like this right now - hoping the front coils settle a bit more:

Not claiming "best" rake/stance

Not sure how I want it to sit just yet.

here is what mine turned out to be about 2 months after the front end replacement parts were installed;

Scot_Douglas · 09-11-2011, 07:50 PM

That's a sharp looking truck.

Scot_Douglas · 09-11-2011, 07:57 PM

You know, i've seen 1Bad62Pro/streets' truck w/o the bed for so long now, that i like it without the bed. It just looks bad*ss, take no prisoners, IMHO.

i think that the factory rake is just perfect on these trucks but i want the overall thing a little lower to the ground. I plan on lowering mine with springs all around.

BR3W CITY · 12-13-2011, 02:04 AM

4/6 drop + a little extra tire in the rear

**LostMy65** · 07-08-2012, 01:33 AM

I think a fleetside looks good with a very slight rake or none at all.
But I think a stepside definitely needs rake.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the compliments. I think she had a 3" drop all around when I bought her. When I upgraded the brakes I had 2.5" drop spindles installed. So its 5.5" drop in front and 3" in back.
