Yes, it is under the bed. It is a good idea to install a c notch when going that low.

first debut... world of wheels milwaukee in a couple days.

drop spindles in front, bars cranked, 4" springs and spacers in back. Rides like a Cadillac.

Probably drop it another 1/2" just for grins :ito:

Rear-Jeep TJ springs, 2" blocks
15x6 front wheels with 215 or 225 75 15s cant remember

Truck looks great!!:metal: How big are the spacers in the rear?

bob-n 02-15-2012 01:02 PM

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 
It has 1.5" spacers in the rear, but they're milled to correct pinion angle

Thanks... It's been a huge amount of work. Rolled into the garage Christmas morning a dented up farm truck with cut coils in primer with a mexican blanket seat.. Rolls into WOW show tomorrow.... After that I'll post a build write up.
