Mine is 3/6...

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 08-15-2007, 11:00 PM

Here's mine. 3/5

esll.

More like 4/6 with the tire profile.

corn · 08-15-2007, 11:25 PM

**********************************************************

Those are 50 series tires as well so that knocks an inch or two off from the factory heigth.

I forget now but I think 50's are 2' inches lower then 70's. (Was it 70's that the factory used?) It all adds up to a lower stance at the end of the day. All things considered it's more like 4/6.

esll.

carl609 · 08-16-2007, 12:54 PM

nothing but a torch and a can under the bumper to make sure both sides are the same, gonna do a 4/6 when the bank allows it

Spray-Bomb · 08-16-2007, 12:39 AM

Post up some pics of yours & some of us can P'chop it lower for ya

powell72 · 08-16-2007, 01:29 AM

Here's my grainy pic everyone is probably sick of seeing-

orange72c10 · 08-16-2007, 05:03 PM

Mine is a 3/5 drop, make sure if you lower it buy all the parts to do it right. ECE has a really good deal on a 4/6 drop.

Love the look, not to derail the thread, but how do they handle loads after a bagged drop. I use mine to pull a 12' and 16' trailer LOADED regularly.

That is the stance I like. I am going to drop mine 3 1/2 FRT and 5 RR. What are the tire sizes front and back on your truck?

72highlander · 08-16-2007, 05:07 PM

here's mine on bags, first is close to 5/7, second is aired out, third close to 4/6.
