My work in progress daily driver. Had 2/4 drop for the last 10 years and today I added 2" lowering blocks. She is stuck up right now. I am working my way for disc conversion up front to add 2" drop spindles to give it that 4/6. Baby steps.

My latest.... a 66' with a 63' grill....
The Blue Leopard with its new look, a bunch of coils cut in the front and 2 inch blocks with 5 inch dropped coils in the back... all the work done by forum member "Kev's Classic's" :metal: BTW.... I do not call this "PATINA" the sand down job was not my idea, this is good candidate for a paint job. :mm: |

this is a true static drop .
I took out all the springs and bump stops so it's sitting bottomed out . there is no driveshaft in it . the engine runs real good , im not shore what year it is the valve cover don't have Chevrolet embossed on it and it has a vent hose on the left front side of the valve cover. the engine compartment wiring and dash wiring is totally trashed so it won't even yard drive yet . I just wanted it to look cool until I get a chance to start on it. I picked up a complete 79 front 5 lug cross member and the 5 lug rear with highway gears. I got 2 eight inch 5 lug truck rallys for the back , now I want to find 2 seven inch 5 lug truck rallys for the front I need to pancake the 79 cross member before I put it in and get some C notches before I put some springs in it. |
Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
I took measurements on my truck today. As far as I know it hasn't been dropped at all. It's a 1966 GMC with rear leaf springs. Front from middle of rim to fender front was 19 inch and the rear was 22 inches.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
In the front what is the first thing that makes contact so that it will not go any lower?

the bump stops are the first thing that hits with no front springs in it. so I removed them now the lower a arms are sitting tight against the cross member. it has stock spindles on it and the cross member is about a inch or 2 off the ground now. in the back the stock un cut frame rails are laying on the rear axel housing . I need to pan cake the front cross member 2 inches and put C notches in the back so I can put some short springs in it to get some working suspension . its going to be a 6cyl 5spd . |
Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
A sheet of diamond plate steel and tired springs in the back. Lowered torsion bars in the front.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
That is interesting I figured that the cross member hitting the ground would be the first thing to bottom out (excluding the bump stops of course). Would using tubular lower A-arms keep them from bottoming out first and allow you to go lower so that the front cross member makes contact with the ground?

CPP 2.5" drop spindles with 3" springs in front and 5" Springs with 2" blocks out back. Tires are 275/50 I think all around but switching to a 255/60 or so in the front. So that should bring it down a tiny bit more.
