Tristin Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thats looking pretty nice. Whats lower on the truck: the bottom edge of the lip or the frame rails? Im worried that when you bag this beast, it might push the lip up. If its close, I would try to remember to mount it high enough that the truck rests on the rails and not the lip. I like the look though :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I didn't have a long enough straight edge but I layed on the cold garage slab and eye balled it and took. Few measurements and it will be about half of an inch off the Tarmac when layed out..... I'm more worries about parking curbs and shoving my good valance through the radiator ..... I usually back in Anyway but still I can still do dumb shit p Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Curb feelers yo..lulz I am paranoid parking my Z32 and girlfriends golf too.. If you don't pay attention when parking just once you're screwed. I've seen some guys install a front parking cam with small LCD in the cabin. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 You know what it does look good and I like the stance of your truck,to low and your back hurt moar.I wonder how it would look color matched to the truck,I also love the fact that it covers those front torsion brackets and bolts which I can't stand.

jrock4224 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 yeah i agree i was all excited to put my valance back on then got bummed when i remembered it did not cover the end of the tension rods Quote Link to comment
