Hi Lew good to hear from another Island guy. I took a bunch of pictures and a few were down at the boat launch. They all needed to be resized to post them on the board but this one I shyed away from .... no good reason, I probably thought it didn't turn out all that good, so your right it's the first time that I've posted it.

Sounds like you know Nanaimo pretty well, I live over by the Kin Hut by the park, can see the ferries come and go from my place. If your coming to Nanaimo give me a shout [PM] me first .... and I'll give you directions. I'm usually home.

esll.

67_C30, thanks a lot. He's really happy with the way it turned out.
I like the painted centered Torq Thrusts too. I have the polished aluminum ones on my truck, which are nice but I think I prefer his rims a little better.

I don't think I've ever seen that truck. What's the name of the color? I really like it.

Re: Show me pictures of your 4/6 drop... Please

Keep the pictures going. I am still undecided on what to do. What I am seeing though is that the long bed drops see to look much different. Or maybe its just the picture.

Just a heads up this thread was posted back in 2007. You might have better luck getting an answer in the suspension forum.

3.5/5 drop but the wheels are 17 in diameter with 60 series tires. The second photo shows what that drop looks like with 15 in rims and the 17's on the side.
