Lowest Static drop?.........

I was wondering what the lowest some of you have went with a static drop. Also what parts did you use to get it that way, and if you have pictures that would be great!

Thanks,
Austin

5.5"/7.5" drop

2.5" spindles, 3" springs, up front.

6" rear drop springs, 1.5" lowering blocks.

POL bolt in c-notch, ECE shock relocator, super track bar, and drop shocks.

LMC has most of the parts you need, except the bolt in c-section, pick up a catalouge, they are pretty helpful actually...

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

They are like 90-98 4x4 caps.
I got them off ebay. Most of the used ones I found were scratched and ugly. I think these are new repops. I had to used 7/16" conversion lug nuts (also ebay) and the black plastic covers to hold them on.
