Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Im thinking about lowering my 89 silverado. I was thinking a 2" in the back and leaving the front like it is. But i seen some of the project trucks that have 4/5" drops that looks good. If some one could photo shop it, that would be nice. Heres a pic of my truck:

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

I'd do a 2/4 drop on it. LWB trucks can look good, like that. I don't have a pic of a LWB, but my SWB Stepside is lowered 2/4. If you go any lower than 4-inches in the back, you'll need to do a C-notch.

There's a thread above this forum that has pix of 88-98's. You should look through it and see what you can find. You should post a pic of the side view, like this, if you want to do some photoshopping. Also, there's a forum on here for people to do photoshopping. Check it out.

Meanwhile, here's my truck.

If you take a picture straight on from the side, there's a photoshop forum here with guys that will be happy to help you out. They could simulate a couple different drops if you ask. But I agree with Chev too; look through the post-your-ride thread -- there are tons of lowered trucks in there.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Cool, thanks guys.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

You can take that truck as it is without changing a thing, not even the wheels, and put a 2/4 or 4/6 drop on it and it would have a dramatic affect on the way it looks. It would look good!

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

is a notch required with hangers and shackles? some say yes some no?

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Shackles and hangers give you 4". 4" is your max drop without a notch. 5" and lower and you'll need a notch.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

thanks 1badgmc

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

No problemo.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Mine only has shackles in the rear, its a 2 to 3 drop, front is stock.

I am looking for a 3/4 or 3/5 to begin with but might want more, the dropped look itches at you and I can see why so many have the urge to go lower.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

i know cutting springs is not the right way but is it acceptable? 1 coil=2" thinkin djm springs hangers and cut a used set of front coils.

5/7 on 20's

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Thats a nice ride JWall. Im looking to get a 3/4 drop for mine. If I get that, new grill/lights, bumper, painted mirrors, and tint my windows, our trucks coukd be twins!

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Thanks! You got a good lookin truck too.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

6-7 drop. 6.5" and 8" van/truck ralleys. 205/70/15 front 255/70/15 rear tires. Drop is from lowered spindles, and 2" lowered springs with one coil removed, rear drop is axle flip and lowering shackles.

Previously I had all black 6" steel wheels, and drilled bumpers. The truck looks so much better now I had to show it off

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Try this on for size. It is not a weed burner by any means, but with this drop, I am still able to haul what I want and run at speeds on rough roads without bottoming out.

3" drop lower A frames in the front and a 4" drop in the rear.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Wow Red94, your truck looks awesome! begging for a small lower but nothing extreme though... Love the wheel/tire size, what's the specs on em?

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Thanks man. Wheels are 18x8 and the tires are 255-55-18s. I think a 3/4 drop would be perfect for me.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Here is one that I found at a local car show. There are a lot of subtle changes to it.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Me likey. How did you do the 4" in the rear? And what wheel/tire sizes are you running? Thanks!

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

It's interesting, but I'm not so sure I'm liking that forward-swept b-pillar treatment.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

In the pics, I am running what I use for winter wheels. Those are 15 X 8 rims with 255/60/15 tiers on them. The summer setup is 17" Billet Specialties 5-spoke billets with 275/50/17 in the rear and 255/50/17 in the front. The front is done with DJM tubular lowers and the rear is all Bell Tech 4" drop components. Shackles, and front hangers. The springs were also dearched 1".

The red truck grew on me the more that I looked at it. Even the 'B' pillar being moved forward. It gives it a slight look of "ElCamino".

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

That forward leaning cab pillar reminds me of the 55 to 57 Chevy trucks. It might look better on a late model sportside.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
 

Well, it ain't purty but it IS lowered and it IS..... errrr "WAS" a Silverado. 4-6 drop, 2" spindles, 2" springs with an axle flip and c-notch in back. Tires are 225-75 X 15 front and 235-75 X 15 rear. Rides like a dream and handles fairly well given the skinny tires. I have Doetsch shocks on all 4 corners.

Re: Need some pics of lowered 88-98 silverados
