Eventually, my truck will be more like a car than a truck in every way. I am making my truck for performance (handling, speed, etc.)
First off, I want my truck to be lower, but I don't want the frame to bottom out whenever I go over a bump so I was thinking about body dropping it where the frame is even with the body. This wouldn't make the truck handle worse would it? I would think it could only make it handle better, because it would lower the center of gravity, thus making it able to corner faster, and making it more aerodynamic. It would also make it look better, since there wouldn't be a crusty old rusty frame showing. Is this a good idea?


Also, I want to put coilovers on all 4 corners. What is the best way to go about doing this? I want to know the best way to get the best handling characteristics.


Thanks bunches!
