The rear had cpp 4in drop springs with 2in drop blocks. So 6in drop in the rear. The front had cpp 3in drop srings with a 1/2 a round cut off. Probably around 4.5 in the frt. Tires were I think G78s. It rode pretty nice for staic. Bump stops trimmed.

That's correct. The patina is natural, the wheels and engine compartment have been painted, that's it.

Some really nice trucks here...Question about drop springs: Has anyone noticed settlement after a while using drop springs? IOW...if I use 2.5 drop sprindles with 2" drop springs can I expect more than a 4.5" drop after say 500 miles or so?

Great stance, what is your lowering and tire info?


This is for anyone that can answer it. Anyone with 2/4 drop or more could you tell me your mesurement from flat ground to fender lip.

Thanks in advance.

This truck is awesome, I don't know how I feel about the wire wheels, but the rest of the truck is almost identical to how I see my truck turning out over the next few years.

Charleston SC, I'm headed down there this afternoon.
