Ive always wondered, how do they get the lowered or slammed look? I would think its not practical but they look cool.
lowering or slamming rigs?

I would think it would be the same as street rods. A combination of air bag suspension and or channeling.
This is looks to be just air bags.
and I would bet this has bags and is channeled.

I need someone to stand beside the top pic. I can't tell it's any lower than my 379 from factory. It's just the look with fenders and bumper

And it all works great, as long as it is setting still on a flat solid surface. When you gotta have a pit to get under the rear diffs, or remove a 1/2 set of fenders to change out a tire, too me, the practicality of it kinda goes away. I wonder how they'd go in about a foot of snow? Too each their own though, variety, they say, is the spice of life.

The top truck, Project 350 runs almost every day, he did run an airbag system on the truck, not sure if it still does or not. A lot of them also put a car hauler front axle on it to lower the front.

Guys I'm all about looking cool, until it gets in the way. I also heard low riders are for guys that can't get it to rise lol.
BeenJammin and Hammer166 Thank this. -

The down side to an over lift is that many drivers forget to turn them off, which beats up U-joints.
"I have a bid vibration."
"OK, is your over lift up?"
"Oh crap, never mind."Hammer166, 281ric and BeenJammin Thank this. -
