Check out the thread I linked to above. Photobucket creates thumbnails for every photo you upload. You can access them by placing a "th_" in front of the image name.

How bad does that mess up your frame/the road?

he is dragging a trailer ball so it isnt messing up his frame at all, but the road kinda has little newly found "beauty marks"

Dragging trailer balls guys is not so good a thing to do!! Here''s an idea for ya just plate the area''s that you plan on dragging that way you save your frame and the person behind you, I have seen trailer balls get drug and break off due to stress and end up in someone''s front window!! When plating the frame use one solid length of steel therefore no seperate pieces can just break off, its alot of welding but it will 1 save your frame and 2 not hurt someone!! If your going to drag please be smart about it guys, just looking out for you to avoid any lawsuits!!

ive been draggin balls for awhile and i have never seen one break. this are designed to haul large heavy trailer behind trucks. that puts plenty of sheer forces on the ball
every forum im on has someone who has seen a ball break but ive yet to see a picture of one but ive seen tons of pics of worn ones from draggin

I would think they only break when you drag them enough to make the steel thin (weak)?

Getting the body drop done nice man!! I only look down upon trailer balls because of the breakage factor if you haven''t had one break thats good, but on the other hand a well plated frame throws more sparks!!!

Man this is one cool looking ride, I was wondering, do you notice any change in how it drives or handels?
I was thinking of lowering mine and after checking yours out I''m that much closer to committing too the project.
Do you mind me asking what the total job cost to have it lowered?
Great looking rig you have there and your photo bucket pics were very interesting.
