New to the scene but this is my second b2200, the first I want to modify. I was hoping to get some advice from senior members on a couple of ?

1. I Don't want to bag my truck I would like a little lower stance what is the best way to achieve 2-3 inch. (if anyone has a picture of a 2-3 inch drop that would nice)

2. Bucket Seats? I know its a pretty common swap but what are some of the easier ones to swap in?

3. 17" or 18" I was thinking that I wanted to use some 17" Nissan Armada wheels, but I'm not sure how they are going to look with a 2-3 drop? Will I run into any clearance issues with 18's? I have been reading and know that the centers of most rims has to be opened up to clear the hub.

4. What is the best website to buy after market parts for these trucks. Mine is a 1990 MT. I don't want to mess with the motor until later, I really need suspension and some factory interior pieces.

I have been looking around on this website and all of the sick rides you guys have really made me want to try and do some work to mine. I am wanting mine to have a factory look with a little lower stance and later a rotary engine (t2) thanks in advance guys.

Welcome to the scene! What part of NC are you in? I have a bunch of parts laying around that I need to get rid of before I move. Post some pics of the truck also. Feel free to contact me if you need any help.

I live in the Asheboro/Greensboro area. I need the center piece to the front bumper, a driver side fender (I think), and pretty much a new bed. I could also use anything that could be used to lower the truck (blocks, etc.)
