Default Photoshop request

Edit: straight side shot added in post 18

Can one of you guys photoshop my truck lowered a few inches? Down to where it has little wheel gap/flush with the fenders, not tucked and super low. Edit #2: F it, slam it if you want to lol.

I attached 3 pics, which ever is easiest for you to chop is cool.

Any help would be really appreciated!

LOL Jesse, I'm pretty sure I will but right now funds are going towards the house. When I bought the truck I said I wouldn't do anything to it but drive it... That's not working out so far.

Awesome man, thank you. I didn't want perfection, just a general idea so that is plenty sufficient.

Looks good man!

I have been reading all day about lowering mine and apparently it is a SOB.. My truck is a Spring Special, so it has the same suspension as a VHO or 2WD SS. In other words it has torsion bars and other pain in the *** issues since it also has a 2 piece drive shaft (apparently you need pinion angle shims and have to use a carrier bearing relocation bracket...?).

I think it would look ok, if you have another shot that is dead nuts on from the side with front wheels straight, that would give you a better idea. Are you going drop spindles in the front?

I'm not positive if I am going to lower it, but I am pretty sure that I will. If I do I am DEFINITELY going to use spindles, and I want to use Mcgaughys' spindles when I do. It's just hard to sift through all this **** about the different suspension in my truck. There is a lot of guessing out there and very little solid info.

When I get serious I will just pick up the phone and call Mcgaughys, but I like to do my own homework on things first.

Oh and i'll get a straight side shot soon, I'm out of town right now and my truck is back home in Dallas.

Its the same as mine. I have torsion bars with "air ride shocks" in the front. The McGaughy's spindles are the best when it comes to static drops. I wouldn't use the drop keys past 1". As far as the carrier bearing deal, they sell kits for that. It should be the same for all NBS 2wd extended cabs.

Thanks for the info about the carrier bearing.

I don't mind doing the spindles, those are a breeze, I am more concerned with the rear end. I have never done a flip kit (not sure if I would go that low though).
