Mine is about a 5/6 or so....flipped with no notch.....it's close to the bumpstops, which are aftermarket.
Stock 15x7 and 8 Rallys, 235/60-15's and 275/60-15's....

Re: pics of 5/5 drop please
Yeah...the store bought kits are "generally" 5", it depends on the leaf spring packs....
But flipping a rear is so easy making your own "kit", that you can go lower if needed, just weld on new perches and use blocks (I always thought those U shaped "blocks" in flip kits were cheesy)....but anything over 5" needs a notch...honestly, mine could use a notch...it'd have a bit more clearance, esp. with a load...

Re: pics of 5/5 drop please
This was my stepdad's truck....when he was killed, my mom gave me the truck.....so I'm not certain the exact drop specs.... I do know it is a combo of springs and spindles. Probably 3" springs and 2" spindles, as there are no modifications or grinding of the A-arms or calipers, which is normally needed when 3" spindles are used with factory Rallys.....
I had an '80 with 3" drop spindles, and this truck is much lower.

Re: pics of 5/5 drop please
Mine was a 5/5 before I decided to go air.
Tires at the time of the picture were 255/50/15 I think..

Re: pics of 5/5 drop please
Good-looking 78, Twisted...
Not to go OT, but is the installation of the Procharger complete? If so, got any pics?

Re: pics of 5/5 drop please
Thanks,
Almost complete, working to finish some exhaust before the inital run-in. I want to put some miles on the motor before I run the Procharger. Been a bit side tracked getting my Blazer projects underway. All in good time.. With the weather getting better, I had better get on it!

Re: pics of 5/5 drop please
I just lowered mine 5" in the with 3" spindles and 2" coils and I accidentally order the spindles for the bigger brakes since I figured the Id# says its has the heavy duty package and rear has big drums, but the good thing is I now have new brakes, but the stance looks the same when it was lowerd 3inchs I guess since I havent drove the truck yet they havent setteld
