Re: post your lowered shortbed pics

Here is my '71 with a 3/4 drop. That's an estimate as I have 2.5" drop spindles, and wanted just a little bit more and took a torch to the springs for probably another 1/2". I have some brandnew 3" drop coils for the back that I have yet to put in because I got lazy and just heated them because I was tired of the funny car rake my truck had for almost six months.



Here's what it looked like before last Thursday when I leveled the back out and only had 2.5" drop spindles up front, no heated springs what-so-ever.
