Hey guys, my friend would like to see what his truck would look like w/ a 2" front / 3" back drop. I have a few shots so you can pick the best one:

I know they look bad ass with a 3" drop and I know where you can get cheap pair of springs for the front! The only have a few miles on them.

Thanks. Well the first thing I did was trace the body w/ the select tool, this took a bit of time after the "Automatic" select got most of the body I had to get some of the darker spots... where it couldn't tell between the body and the dark shadowed area... then I saved that selection... copied that selection into another photoshop thing (so I could rotate it so the back would have more drop).... then I measured out the equivalent of 2" in front and 3" in back and put small black boxes where the body is... (I used the rims being 18" to determine what 2"/3" of real life would be)... Then I rotated the body until it was level for the drop (0.5* CCW in my photo)... then I pasted the body back on over the top... After that I selected the ground from the curb on one side to the other, then added the wheels and underbody of the F150... I selected that and moved it up... with the layer that has the body pasted on it in front... Then when I got it to the right height, I flattened it and saved it as a jpg.... if I did a sloppy job it would have taken longer... and also since I was trying to figure out the best way to go about it I spent quite a bit of time on that... if I did it again (when I do it to pix I just took of my Ranger) it shouldn't take me too long... We'll see when I get some free time..
