How much suspension travel do you have in the rear being that low? Thanks. |
Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
Thanks!!!
It was restored about 2-3 years ago. Not show quality but excellent daily driver quality, with the major stuff like motor&trans and body&paint already being done. I like wrenching, and can do bolt on parts but when it comes to the major stuff I'll pay a perfessional. In my opinion the springs have a perfect spring rate. Not too stiff, but stiff enough, along with the sway bars to give good corner handling. The shocks that came in the kit aren't very good though. The front tends to have a floaty bounce. I'm really picky when is comes to my suspension and handling as I tend to do track days with my other cars, but this truck is my daily driver. I wanted a more comfortable, but fun ride that I can zip around corners. I didn't want to put a ton of money into it, that's way I bought the kit. If I had to do it over agin, I don't think I woud recommend this kit. You can probably piece together your own kit with better shocks, and better swaybar endlinks/mounts for around the same price. I'll probably upgrade to better shocks in the future. Theres about 1 inch travel in the front after shaving down the new bumpstops a little. In the rear I have zero travel it's riding on the new bump stops, as I did not c-notch. |

In truth it rides really nice but the suspension is almost maxed out up front. You can feel it on big bumps. Gonna have to come back up a little. |

I found this truck that has a good stance.
Would any one know if it belongs to a forum member? Or could tell me wheels and tire size info? Or looks bagged, so info on that? Thanks |
Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
+1 ^^^^^ anyone know the specs on the wheels?
Looks like 18" steel smoothies and some diamond backs. Would like to find info on the wheels |

Here's mine all in primer now. 4-6 drop. I'm going to have to notch the rear as it bottoms out on hard bumps. |

It's the same in both pictures, I had completed the suspension, then disassembled and painted the truck this winter.

I used 2 1/2" dropped spindles and 2" dropped spring with one coil removed and the rear I used a 5" dropped spring with a 1" lowering block, Gabriel shocks for an 1981 El Camino all the way around. Front tires are 215/75/15 on a 15x7 rim Rear tires are 255/70/15 on a 15x8 rim Thank you and I hope this helps..... |
Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
Good looking rides everyone.
Could someone lowered say 2/4 or 3/5, or 4/6 take a measurement from level ground to the wheel lip. Thanks. |

From a previous thread 14 in. from wheel well to center of hub in the front is a 2.5 in. drop. In the back it will depend on whether you have a step side or fleet side sense the wheel wells are not the same height.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
235's don't sound to wide to me but 65 does seam a little short. I would find a truck from the sight that you like the look of and ask that person what they have. If you ask 10 people on here what tire size to use you will get 10 different answers.
