That be mine, here are some updated pics. Just put 1.5" drop tubular control arms on in the front. Here's what I have so far:
Front:
15x8 TT2 w/ 3-3/4" B.S with 255/70/15 BFG
3" drop springs
1.5" drop tubular control arms w/ poly bushings
CPP sway bar and nitrogen shocks
Rear:
15x8 TT2 w/3-3/4" B.S. with 285/70/15 BFG
4" drop springs
1" lowering blocks
CPP swaybar and nitrogen shocks

fixing to change drop springs in front to 2.5" drop spindles w/ 1" drop springs
( the guy at the control arm mfg says anything more than a 1" drop with the new control arms affects the geometry, so change we must. Oh yeah also gonna take out the adjustable panhard bar fromm CPP and replace it with a tracbar relocator kit ( just to make sure the rear geometry is correct also !)
Gotta do it Right !!
Drives and rides great, no tire rub, handles like a dream !!!

Would the drop in the original picture be 3" front and 4" rear?

fatboys69 · 09-12-2007, 04:18 PM

yes it would, the original was a 3" front 4" rear.

So, 3" Front w/ 255/70/15 BFG (29.06 tall tire)
& 4" Rear w/ 285/70/15 BFG (30.71 tall tire)

Well I just ordered my 2-1/2" front spindles and 5" rear Springs (ECE)

I love the stance of that truck, So, I was hoping it was close to being what the parts I have coming will make my truck.
I've not bought tires yet, So, I'll play with those numbers a bit...
Thanks...

This truck sits perfect also...
I Guess a "Chuckles" owns it? And what are the specifics, Drop/Tire sizes...?
So far, although slightly different, both these sit perfectly to my tastes...
