4/6 drop done with pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

lamar · 08-05-2007, 05:33 PM

I just got my truck back from my mechanic who installed a 700r4 from Bowtie Overdrive and that got me wanting to do the drop. Just finished with the front spindles and coils. I have really missed driving and working on my truck, I'm sooooo happy I don't know what to do next!!!!!!

72highlander · 08-05-2007, 05:37 PM

wow, sharp truck, i really like the white, what size tires and wheels you running? i like the compromise between wheel size and meat on tires.

lamar · 08-05-2007, 05:40 PM

Thanks, 17x8 w/245/60 up front and 17x9 1/2 w/295/60 out back.

72highlander · 08-05-2007, 05:43 PM

custom offsets or factory available?

lamar · 08-05-2007, 05:48 PM

Factory back spacing, but don't remember what it was. I think maybe it was 5.5 back spacing in the rear, but not 100% sure.

72highlander · 08-05-2007, 05:49 PM

thanks, again beautilful truck, a also like the black lowers against the white, a super combo imo.

lamar · 08-05-2007, 07:32 PM

Thanks again 72highlander.

powell72 · 08-05-2007, 07:49 PM

bigfredtn · 08-05-2007, 09:08 PM

Yes sir 2.5 ECE spindles and 1.5 springs. Thanks

**STP67-72** · 08-05-2007, 10:10 PM

White is right. NNIICCEE...
I would love to see some more shots of truck. Like the rear side view of truck. Rear wheels. I am also curious of back spacing. I am thinking about ordering rear 9 1/2 wheels.
I would love to see more pics. when you have chance.

lamar · 08-05-2007, 10:00 PM

No c-notch, just 6 inch drop coils. Yeah Uncle it has been along time coming, but still along way to go. I need to drop by one day as I do need some parts.
