Ok first of all I just bought a 82 chev short narrow bed and it was red neck dropped and it rides like ****. so I want to put a nice drop on it but I cant decide if I want to got with the 5/7 drop or the 4/6, so I want to see some pics of STATIC dropped trucks with these drops on them. And let me know if your thoughts on each one, Keep in mind this is my daily drivin truck. Thanks a million in advance!

Re: Show me some pics!!!!
Here is a link that has a lot of cool pics and most of them are air, but this will get you started... 5-7 is that way to go and it will work for you driving every day..

Re: Show me some pics!!!!
Ya mean you dont like heat sagged springs and riding on the snubbers? But it adds an air of excitement to driving, particularly when crossing rail road tracks or rough intersections....
To rectify the same thing with my 76, Im doing 2" spindles and 3" springs up front, flip kit and possibly hangers out back. It will get a frame notch in any event since mine is a working truck rather than a cruiser. No pics because it will be next year before its done, but it should be about the same as it is now, and ride much better. |

Re: Show me some pics!!!!
5-7 for sure. You'll soon feel it still is not low enough, but done right will still ride great.

I didn't do the drop on mine so I'm not sure how low it is. Maybe someone can give it a guess???
