Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
I used shorter shocks in the front that didn't extend as far as the stockers. The shock would limit the down travel of the suspension instead of that little rubber bumper on the upper arm.

heres mine with the air bags dumped on the rear(sitting on the bump stops) and torsion bars turned down 5'',drove it around the paved alley's and never rubbed also seemed to handle ok but again it was just in the alley's so no real speed was achieved....also i believe those tires and rims that are shown measured 29'' tall

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
Does someone make a stock drop spindle for our trucks? I see several trucks on here that say they have 2.5" drop spindles and still have 6 lug wheels.

Here's mine. ~4.5" in the front, with 1.5" stepped LCAs and 3" coils. I haven't dropped the back yet but the c-notch is almost complete and it will have manual-fill air bags, so it'll be basically static in the rear also.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
willyp, what size blocks do you have under those trailing arms?

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
Bastard coils in the front becuase I do not know where they came from but they are shorter than stock by a few.
Rear is Ghetto bagged to schrader valve and a notch. No valves or tank. http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/a...Picture279.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/a...Picture252.jpg |

The front has been dropped 4" (drop springs and spindles) In the photo, the truck has really big tires on the front. The front sits a little lower now with 215/70/15s Not sure how much it was lowered in the rear. The springs were heated and cut when I bought the truck. They are pretty ugly, so I bought 6" springs from early classic. It went up when I put taller tires on the back from the picture. With the new springs, it looks like it will go back down a little more:bann: The stock bump stops are already hitting in the rear, so I'll be C notching the frame Sorry for the long jibberish :blah: |

I need to find out what stock height is on our trucks. Could someone (or maybe a few of you to get an average) with stock suspension measure from the center of your wheel to the lip of the fenders front and rear. I bought my truck lowered and need to redo the suspension but I want to return to the same stance so I need to know how much it’s lowered.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
i cut two coils off the front and took off the bump stop. in the rear its step notched ,two inch blocks and cut spring, i know it sounds crazy but a few guys told me on hear jeep springs and cut . i had g body springs i cut them in half and tryed them on , then cut another half a turn. so i have it bolted to the trailing arm with like a turn and a half total. not my idea but i seams to work good (smooth)
