225/75/15
3 inch drop springs
2.5 inch drop spindles

Rear:
15x7 smoothie wheels

I am not sure how I feel with the rake...might have to use 2 inch drop blocks in the rear.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Cool Vanilla...a Chrysler color

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Cool...looks good!

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Front: 2.5" drop spindles and 1" drop spring
Rear: 3" drop spring. Had a 2" drop block in there at first but it was too low.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Your setup is similar to mine, I’m going to be running 3” rear drop springs and 2.5” drop spindles with stock springs.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Just put the new wheels on today (posted under Tire/Wheel pics as well). 1963 C10, dropped 6" in the rear with ECE springs, lowering shocks, and relocation kit. Stock rear bump stops were cut about 3/4".

Front is dropped 4.25" by using 2" drop ECE springs and cutting one coil off. I replaced the bump stops in front with Energy suspension parts. I used longer bump stops up top (Energy suspension part 9.9143R) so when the car is jacked up the springs do not come loose. The lower bump stops (Energy Suspension 9.9101R) are cut to give adequate clearance. This allowed me to leave the drum brakes in place.

Tires are 275/55-17 on 17" x 9" wheels.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Hi, here's my '63 longbed :
Cut coils in the front, i dont know how much.
1"3/4 lowering blocks on the rear.
Front tires are 235/60R15 and rear 255/60/15.
I would like a little more lower but stance not so bad like that.
what do you thing about it ?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

I have a 1962 C10 Panel and I have Q about static drop beacuse all of you know that I have torsion suspension in my front so I wonder howe much can I drop my frontend before it got crazy handling, can I drop 2"?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

I had 62 which I dropped 2 inches using the torsion bars and everything still worked fine. You will need to get your alignment done though.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Great look.
And please don't take this as criticism, it's just something I started noticing lately. And I think it's caused by adding discs in the front which moves the front wheels out. When I go to discs, I'll be using wider wheels in the back, so it may not be noticeable.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

What were the specs on this drop?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

The front was 2.5" spindles with 2" springs and the rear was 3" springs and 2" blocks.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

What size tires are you running?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Here is mine.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Well here she is. 64 swb. First time getting to see and play with one. POL 3/5 drop springs. Will get another 2.5/2 once we do the disc conversion. 292/4spd 3.73 posi. Also as you can see in the last pic. The rear wheels are pushed back pretty far in the wheel well. Is this common when dropping the trucks? And what’s the fix? Shorter drive shaft? Thanks

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

You would need to move the entire suspension forward to center the rear wheels in the opening. If you look, the front isn't centered either.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

I’ve been told that it’s just the driveline that needs shortening. I know the front ones are not centered from the factory that’s why most ppl will buy aftermarket to move them forward. I’ll do some more searching.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

It's very common for the sb stepsides to have the wheels toward the rear of the fender opening. It is also common that the sb fleetsides had the wheels towards the front of the wheel opening. I don't know why, they just do.

You could probably move your bed back slightly but not enough to center it.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Shorter drive shaft will not move the diff.. research is advised..

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

How close is your bed to the back of the cab?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

what rims? seen you went to discs. any issue with caliper clearance?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Nice ride !

Does your frame bottom out and hit the axle ?

Thx !

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

I have gone as low as 5.5 inches in the rear without it bottoming out on the rear axle. 4 in drop coils and 1.5 in blocks. It did not bottom out until I did a 6 in drop.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Stock spindles, on 86 front xmember and coilovers on all 4 corners

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

1966 longbed fleetside. 4” front (2” spring, 2” spindle). 7” rear (5” spring, 2” block). 235/75R15 tires.

Re: 4x4 to panty dropper
 

Love this truck

Do you have to notch the rear frame ?

Thx

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Heres my 66...

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Front- CPP drop spindles, one coil cut off the stock springs, bump stop bracket completely removed from the LCA, KYB Gas-A-Just shocks, stock 15x5.5" wheels, 1.5' bolt on wheel spacers, 215/75 tires. No rubbing over bumps or when turning full lock.

Rear- D2600 bags bolted directly to the trailing arms, top has short cups to make room for the air fitting. 1.5" drop blocks to keep the bags from being as compressed at ride height. Bump stop shortened but it only has about 1.5" of travel at this height so I need to do a 2" pipe notch. Shocks relocated via the Frizzle Fry method. 8" wheels, 235/75 tires.
