in Iowa it is illegal to to tint the front windows. Don't know about your area. In my Toyota just the backs are tinted and it looks good.

Same basic laws here. But everyone tints thier windows super dark, they dont enforce it all the time. In the past 10 years i had two tint tickets,scrape it off,then go have it signed off at chp then back to the tint shop

Daaaaaamn looks really good man! And yeah Chaser is right it's probably your front chocks bottoming out since they are stock the travel is more then likely fully compressed with no travel left. Or may be hitting on the shock mount. They are both fairly easy fixes if you pull your wheel off and see the shock hitting the just use a grinder to cut out a little bit to clear the shock. If it is in fact the shock bottoming out (which it probably is) you have lots of choices for lowered shocks. Ranging from 40 to 150 shipped depending on what you decide to go with. I would recommend installing new shocks anyways will make for a better ride. Yeah that's what I am going to run on mine when i drop it is 4 inch blocks. But it looks really good man!

yep I'm thinking Shocks. do I take the old ones In and just tell him I want lower ones?

Ummm not exactly depends on if the guys you order from know what they are talking about most of them here don't lol. And it depends on what brand of shocks you want to go with. Most of the auto parts stores don't carry a lot of the brands. But Monroe is one of the most common and for a good price too. Fairly good quality and a lot of guys run them. You can order the ones for early 90's 4x4 Isuzu pickup. I'm not exactly sure on the P/N but they are a lot shorter than our stock ones and hold a little more weight which will make for a slightly better ride. Or you can order some offline and you will have more options. There are a few threads on here about shocks in the lowering static section bro. I think I'm going to run Toxic Pro Comp shocks or the Doestche shocks. They are suppose to be really good quality shocks a bit more pricey vs. the Monroes and Toxics about 75 shipped for a pair from Summit Racing. If you go that route get the ones that are 7.4'' compressed that will be perfect. Monroe you can order at most part stores and like I said Isuzu 4x4 early 90's will fit. Toxics I have found on ebay for 40 shipped. Hope this helps bro.

A 90 Isuzu 4x4.? Those sound good. Like you said for the weight will help
Thx again

How much do you hurt your load rating when you take leafs out?
low_life77   +1y
It will be hurt some, as 2 leafs won't hold as much weight as a full pack would. That's why some guys de-arch them to keep the entire pack or buy the lowered leaf packs. They are really the same thing. But new rear shocks will help some too like 4x4 rear shocks at factory specs or air shocks.

Ya what he said
