Bought the kit for four dollars at a gas station. Droped down one inch, I could have bought 8 bags and droped it two inches, I can always find a fat chick to stand on my bumper and if she bounces I can have hydrolics.

Barn- im glad you think im serious

Yeah mudding with nearly bald tires is a good idea especialy with a 2wd pick up although I could put on my snow chains

I used cat litter to lower my corolla, and for the winter, if you get stuck, it adds traction if you dissasemble the kit and spread it on the ground.

Veary nice.  I lowered my ranger that way a few times.  One time i used mytool box and ended up brakeing a leaf spring .  Then while mudding i blew aa u-joint on the right front and the trans has about had it since i moved and towed 3500lbs behinde it LOL

I cant wait to get it going again though cause i miss playing in the dirt  but now wit the new car i can finally do some work to this thing and getting it working GOOD . Its getting a 3" body lift soon to replace the rotted body mounts too and probly run 32" rubber then.  gona trow a upgradeed 4r44e trans into it and replace the whole front end Bearings ball joints all linkage and all ujoints.  THEN im gona attempt painting the truck either fllat black or a red similer to yours with bed liner matterial on the bottom half of the truck.

Does not realy do much, Having my moms husband in the truck effects gas mileage more.
The roads were realy greasy and when my tires spun they hopped alot so I put the sandbags in to eliminate the wheel hop

Paint it red. The color of my truck is  2K Candy Apple Red its a ford color. Or forget about painting it and get a couple do it yourself box liner kits and do the whole outside of your truck.
