Yeah, the stretch idea was something I wanted to try because its not being done on mini trucks really. I know its very foolish and looks silly, but I gave it a shot, got some cool pictures, and now I know. The car/racing world is alot of trial and error to see what works, then everyone likes to just use what works, I like to be a trail blazer haha. On the topic of big snails, I have a new project I am looking to get into the works that involves a big snail, but that will be in a few months.

I dont think you are grasping the concept here.. There is only so low you can go before you bottom out on the wheel wells in the front, and the axle bottoms out on the frame in the rear.

So to go lower, I would have to remove my wheel wells, which are part of the body of the truck, not just some plastic liner and also cut the rear of the frame of the truck and weld in a c-notch to allow the axle to move higher up to lower the truck. Doing that would create a slew of a problems, like I had with my previous truck that was bagged...

SO, going lower is not an option with 19inch wheels. I have already been there and done that. Thats why new vette wheels are only on bagged trucks, and stock ride height trucks, but thanks for the suggestion.
