New to the Site
Just wanted to say hello. I just joined yesterday, but I have learned alot already. Thanks for any help that I might, or should I say will receive in the future. I just purchased my truck about 2 weeks ago, but I've been researching for the past 2 years. Not quite sure what kind of drop I'm going to do. Any suggestions? Bags or coils? Any technical advice is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

It is a requirement that all new members post pictures of their truck! NOTE: THIS IS A REQUIREMENT...LOL! Along with buying beer for all senior members of the board...JK. Welcome from sunny Kent, WA. Where are you located?
I have bags in the rear of my truck and cut coils on the front for a 4/6+ drop. I am not sure you can get low enough but you will find plenty of opinions on here and lots of great advice.

Welcome from Tennesee, looking forward to the pics.
What do you plan to do with your truck, driver or a weekend toy? I went 1/2 on mine and wish I had more. earlyclassic.com has stance photos if you wanna check them out.
