Sure Mr Astroboy. Anything can be lowered. There's a 4x4 Excursion in Cali that is bodydropped, shaved, cut down to a 2dr, rollin around on 22s. The front suspension just has to be replaced...no big deal.

BTW, Chevy's ride AWESOME with a coil under hydraulic setup...AND they can hop about a foot with the stock coils.

If it were up to me, either the Denali or the Silverado. Those two would be nice to hook up.

I'm rockin a Ford F-150 these days.

Get a F-150 Lightning.

Or get a Toyota Tundra, paint it JDM white, lower it, put on Gold Wheels, and a loud exhaust (phils idea)

Truck guys, like... the hicks... tend to go for Astro's thing... the Chevy. We have a redneck at work who commutes in from 65 miles away every morning in his Silverado.

Then hook it up mang:

My best friend debated on whether to trade in his Chevy S10 for a new Silverado with the 0% financing. Instead he meets up with me at a friends house driving a new Pearl White RSX Type S. That bastard didn't even tell me he was getting one.

Astro where do you keep all of your toys if you live in a condo. Does it have a parking garage or something?

Better question... How does one get in to the industry that you are in? I want to do what you do and the toys are just a perk.

Astro....I have pics of the rims but I don't think it will fit on the chevy. It came off a Ford Explorer. I believe the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 the same as for our car. I tried to put the rims on my CL but it was way too wide and I know if i would have driven the car on those rims it would have puncture the tires.

It is 255/35ZR20

Thanks for those who helped, but do some of you actually read these threads before you post. I stated twice had to fit 5 people.
No lightning.
This is for looks only.


Probably, gonna get the Dodge Ram 1500 in black Running board with 23" Giovanna Attacks. PS2 and DVD in back, and GPS in front with 10 disc changer, and a nice soundsystem. I'll have audio express do it for me, or maybe i'll drive over to 310 in LA in a few weeks. Thanks, Anthony

I'll keep looking at more trucks and update everyone, later.

Those new Dodge Rams are kinda cool looking. 23" Giovannas would definately help. I'd go to Streamline Car Audio before Audio Express if you're looking for a nice install. If you're just looking for a good price go to KEV sales.

I was thinking of going to those guys but why not jsut go to 310, and do it right and take a vacation. I'll call you before I do anything e-mail me your number. Thanks, Anthony
