Throwback Pics

[hondarider552]

Brian, what did you have done to the suspension of your LBZ in the picture when you first lowered it?

First lowered it was 5" drop shackles and overload gone. Stock up front other than drop torsion keys full cranked.


The only other thing I did to get it on the ground was 2" drop spindles in addition to the drop torsion keys, and then DJM rear leaf hanger drop.

This is the only pic I have of my 06 LBZ when it was lifted, this was back in May/June of 2006



After the lifted was removed and it was leveled

When I first lowered it

Just before I sold it in 2011

I love that truck, looks like it went through a lot of changes but I think its pretty awesome in all of the pictures.

 

[hondarider552]

It definitely did. from a Fabtech 6" lift 18's and 35's, to leveled and rode like shit, to stock height, to a 3/5 drop and then to 4/6 drop.

Hauled her home

Ever miss having a bed on there to put stuff in? Do you remove because it's easier to see the trailers?

Day I bought it from my dad. June of 06. All stock with some 305/70r16s on it and an afe drop in filter. Edge w/attitude was under the back seat all disconnected lol

Two months later I lifted it with a fabtech 8" lift set at 8" on 37" discovery stt and my walker Evan wheels I still have. I told myself then, "this is all I'm doing, in a college kid and it's all I need". My dad was quite jealous of how it looked lifted so his 07 he bought got a lift too lol

But then I wanted a front bumper..... And fenders..... And more power.... And a stereo..... And on and on and on till now

Yup! For 4-5 years before I left to college, I rode in the back seat this bad boy on camping trips or family trips out. I still remember the first day we picked it up from the dealer when it was delivered and riding home with my dad goin "man look at all the neat stuff they come with now". Programming the key fob to do different setting for the locks was "out of this world" to me at the time lmao

Damn James, Those rims in 2006 were probably hot shit though :rofl::rofl:

Truck has come a long way for sure. I still remember the night we started on your twin kit at your parents and those damn downpipe bolts kicked out ass.... Man talk about a trip down memory lane in this thread!!

Oh they were and came at a price of 1500 bucks back then. Damn it hurt my pocket book. Basically worked all summer for the lift, wheels and tires lol.
