Low Enough

I think I have reached an impass for a static drop. Scrub line? What scrub line?
I will be thinking of a better wheel/tire combo now.

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Re: Low Enough

5 1/2 inch drop with 245/60/15 tires on 8 inch truck rallys.
McGaughy drop spindles, CPP 3 inch spring, and Performance Online tubular upper control arms.
Right now, the tie rods aren't connected and that control arm is shimmed to death (so I wont lose them). With the control arms being extended, I don't think there will be an issue aligning the front end.

Re: Low Enough

That thing sits as low as my Corvette. How much clearance does the oil pan have?

Gonna look sweet when done.

Re: Low Enough

I would suggest just exchange out your 3 inch drop spring for a 2 inch drop spring and it'll keep them tires new and you won't have any alignment issues. I see 3 inch springs on Craigslist all day long probably due to the same issue that you have going on.
