Re: 87 5.0 "white lightning"
I didn't go very far so I can't say anything yet but I didn't notice any issues.

Re: 87 5.0 "white lightning"
Thanks. I wasn't really a fan of them they looked good with the Cooper cobras but they stuck out past the fenders front and back so they wouldn't work. Sold them for $500 the other day.

Re: 87 5.0 "white lightning"
Nope just the offset. 215 up front and 245 in the rear and they both stuck out.
----------
Had to cut the exhaust off since it was just a straight piece of pipe and was resting on the axle first bump would have destroyed it. Just dumped it out in front of the tire for now until I get get something made up.
Made a little walk around video of it idling with no muffler now.

Idling it's sounds pretty good but driving it sounds terrible. Not sure what I should do for exhaust yet. Either duals out the sides or duals out the back if possible. Not a lot of room between the box and the axle anymore.

Don't know how they do it, but I've seen duals out the back of Rangers

Re: 87 5.0 "white lightning"
Thinking about maybe going even lower than the dream beams in the front. How low can you static drop the the front on these trucks? Would I need drop spindles next or would just some drop springs work?

Re: 87 5.0 "white lightning"
Haven't decided yet, I'm thinking of going grey or some sort of dark color. I really like the Chevy cyber grey on the new corvettes.
