Creampie Build

you could get a pretty low setup with a 4x4 that would still look good on a shorty. Imagine my truck but as a shorty. Pretty much as low as you can go in the front of a 4x4...

Not to derail, but what'd you do to lower yours? PM me if you want to keep Lance's thread clean. I've got a 4WD shorty, looking at ways to lower the front, the back has DJM lowering shackles, so I can go much lower in the rear; the front is the issue.

I want the look of a lowered 2WD shorty, but the functionality of 4WD when it comes to track purposes. Truck still looks awesome Lance. Need more pics though.

short derail. Cut one full coil out. Yep, it's ghetto, I won't lie and say it's not. Mine sits on the bump stops could cut them down and cut more off the coils but I don't see a reason to.

Still can't because of the downpipe in the fender well

Lance don't you touch it. Send it my way and start a new one if you plan on making it 4x4.
Truck looks sick as is buddy.

That's exactly what I did. Was hoping you did something else (or extra). Cool cool, carry on.

not 100% sure yet. several people have said lifter. some say rod. some aren't sure. hell it could be something really simple in the top end but it will likely have to be pulled anyways so might as well finish it off right. this is about the only chance I have the wife on board to build it so regardless it's happening.
