static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

Alright fellows I know some of you guys out there have 15s on your squares. I'm trying to see how your trucks look lowered on 15s. Would like to see some 2.5/5 drops and some 5.5/5 drops on factory height with 15s, to see how low I can take mine without cutting out the fender wells. Lets see those pics and what setup you have, also tires sizes, thanks.

Here's a pic of my '79 GMC... Front-end dropped with spindles and 1 full coil cut from springs, and rear axle flipped.
Factory rallys - 15x8's up front and 15x10's out back.
This is about as low as I can drop it right now...the headers hang way close to the ground.

Here is my 87 R10 on a 5/6 drop (All Western Chassis Parts).

Font: 2.5 spindle and 2.5 springs
Rear: Flip kit / Shackles (Only using 1" of shackle drop).

Rims are 15/8 on 235/75r/15 tires - No rubbing issues whatsoever - rides great.

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

I've cut 1 full coil from each of the front two coils springs in addition to the dropped spindles I have installed. Yes, I do still have the inner fenders and yes the tops of the tires do rub very lightly when i encounter an unexpected dip in the road. I haven't shaved off any of the factory bumpstops and the arms ride just slightly above them. Just enough for a "decent" ride... for a budget dropped lowered truck anyway.

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

Thanks for.the info. I love where you took your profile pic, in old town Gainesville with the brick road. I did alot of running there when I was younger. I lived close to there.

My '73..."Frankenstein". Coils have been cut in the front sometime in the past, it rides just above the uncut bumpstops, but still a decent ride. The rear is just flipped.

Cory, thats a really nice picture.

No, he still has em.

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

yup stil got em in :)

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

What wheels are those? I like em cause they have the torque thrust look, yet they still look old somehow.

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

Goin out on a limb but I am willing to say those are Crager S/S's on that white square body..

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

I love this stance. Do you have any side pics of the truck for a distance?

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

Here is my 73. Front has 3" spindles, 1" springs with a half coil cut. Rear is a flip kit with 2" drop shackle. No clearance issues or modified body panels.

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

Cut 2 coils, flip kit 245/60's on 8's 325/50's on 10's will need some surgery on the rear. Shouldve been 4.5 bs vs 3.75

Wow! These trucks look great.

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

Love the truck and the stance. That's exactly the hardware I ordered, minus the shackle. But after seeing yours I may have to buy the shackle too.

What size tire are you running?

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

what header setup are you.running? Or are they manifolds? Reason I ask is I ordered the same lowering setup you have, and was wondering if my long tubes are gona work. I'm seriously doubting it, by looking at your pic.

Nice looking truck Max

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

get the shackles with the option of the 1 or 2 inch drop. took me just a few minutes to go from the 1 to 2 inch drop

the tire size is 235 70 15

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

3 in spindles, full coil cut, flip kit, 2 in shackles, had some weight in the bed in this pic, otherwise rear tires are flush with wheelwells

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s
 

Are you running headers that low? Can you?
