15x8 ralleys mounted up last night. traded some old mustang wheels i had, i also got a suburban rear bumper, new gauge cluster, bezel, and stuffs, having friends with lots of parts is awesome.

No, there aren't any. You have to measure and drill your own.

Yep, exactly. There are lots of springs available, but for the price of a sawzall blade or cutoff disk why not give it a go?

To be honest im not 100% sure. There 15" off of a 454 ss. I checked out the Chevy website and it said they were 8.5, but im not for sure. I dig the black ones, I'll trade lol. I need to put my center caps on, it looks ten times better with them on, but I have to buy all new lugs for the cap covers to screw on, and the caps are about 2.50 a piece.

That's funny..I like the chrome ones.
But I think I'm going to try the black with a black center cap(truck is silver)
I like the stance of your truck..How much is that lowered infront?

Not as low as what you may be looking for but...here the 2/4 drop I just did for comparison.
Front - 2" drop springs and Nitro drop shocks with energy suspension bushings. Rear - 4" with drop shackles and hangers. Wheels -15x8 Pacer rims with Firehawk Indy 500 275/60R15's

This is my shop truck and dirt bike hauler.

Mechanicaly solid but the body is rusted out.
5.5/8 drop
215/70R15 fronts and 235/75R15 rears
Cut the front springs
Flip kit in the rear, removed overload and 2 other leafs and added air shocks.
Rides like a cadillac. The front is a little soft with the half ton springs. 3/4 ton springs would be better. Im going to eventually install some drop spindles, c-notch and bags, but Im in no hurry.
