5/7 Drop Pics??
Does anyone have any pictures of the truck with a 5/7 drop? That is the drop I am going with and am curious how the truck will sit on the tires. Will it be tucking the tire any or just above the tire?
Thanks, Ryan

Re: 5/7 Drop Pics??
My truck, 5/8 drop, 15's all the way around. Depending on your leaf spring setup, you could have more drop when you flip the axle compared to what the mfr's advertise.

Re: 5/7 Drop Pics??
My wife told me not to do a drop on my truck (she's from West Texas and has only seen trucks raised never lowered). I love the stance and look of the lowered trucks but if I was ever allowed to do a drop I'd probably do something less than the 5/7 drop.
Great looking trucks! |

Re: 5/7 Drop Pics??
What size tires and rims are you running with the 5/7 drop and how did you drop it?

Re: 5/7 Drop Pics??
Moostifier, no new project...just my long overdue and ever so on-going (ie 7 year) body off resto of my '73. I should be getting it back from the painter any day now, so I'll have more pics at that time.
![]() Thanks for the kind words.

Re: 5/7 Drop Pics??
Absolutely killer looking truck, I did not like those wheels so much. However, they look insane on that color.
