Default What goes into building a belly dragger?

Haven't been able to find much on this site that is recent, so just want to ask what goes into building one of those low slung comp trucks? I'm curious and hoping some of you veteran builders could shed some light.

Think you could be a wee bit more specific. Generally looking at what is already out there , most likely can give you most of what you need.. as in a picture saves a thousand words.

first you need a rig with some kind of belly then take the springs off the shocks or run shorter springs and instant belly dragger also refered to as a droop setup or running in droop

And to think, I always thought it took a seriously-excessive amount of beer.

~more facts, logic and personal responsibility would make the world a far better place than all the leftist ideas could dream of.

Wow. Please elucidate. Which of the three things did you find negative?
Do you prefer fantasy to facts?
Do you think that illogic is more positive than logic?
Do you find the exercise of personal responsibility negative in some way?
A true leftist would answer "yes" to all three questions. Now you need to apply a little introspection to see why you found the tag line "negative". If you can't compete in a free and open marketplace of ideas it says more about you than your competitors.

Thanks anyway for your lucid and informative advice. Now drop dead asswipe.

If you’re going to take cheap shots at another member’s signature in your own signature you should be able to handle it better when people call you out.

Let’s not derail this thread any further and if you feel like complaining about people disagreeing with your jokes then feel free to PM one of us mods.

Initially, I chose to ignore your comment, as you, OBVIOUSLY, didn't comprehend the meaning behind my 'signature'. I'm not going to take this thread off-topic...but, I would like to interject the fact that, it's negativeness such as yours that proves the very point I'm trying to make in my signature. There's an old saying, "You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar." With that said, welcome to the 'club', and enjoy your stay.
