Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10
Let me give the breakdown one more time on the Dropmember and what its designed specs are....
The Dropmember was designed to achieve greater ground clearance, eliminate the stock steering box and linkage and replace with a rack and pinion steering gear, and afford the option of getting these trucks a slow as possible when combined with certain spindle, tire diameter, and air spring selection.
With a 29" tall tire, a 2.5" drop-spindle, Air Ride Tech. Strong Arms, and a slam specialties RE7 air spring the frame will rest 1/2" off the ground and yield a 5-6" ride height. Switch the bag to a Firestone and it's on the ground. It is recommended to run a bumpstop to limit the frame from actually resting on the ground in case of component failure.
Start switching around the tire diameter, air spring, and spindle heights and multiple variations of ride-height and dumped-height can be achieved. The overall recommendation of which spindle height to use will be determined by what tire diameter run, what air bag is being used, and of course what YOUR desired end result is.
I discuss all these aspects with you guys before your orders are placed to make sure we are setting it up to achieve your desired end result. I am more than happy to answer any and all questions so don't hsitate to ask!
