I pick up my new toy it is a 69 (that's just fun to say 69) lol. Its has a 327 v8 3 speed short bed runs good but like all of then it needs body work. I am working on getting my old set of 20" on the truck they came off my old s-10 Ill post some picks if i can. I am going to go john deer flat black and drop it down as low as i can untill i can save up to bag it.

What year did you use and how much drop did they give you?

mr mike · 10-24-2009, 08:52 PM

The spring i used was out of a 1998 jeep tj (wrangler) they have the same set up from 1997 to 2007 i think and it gave me about a 3 to 3 1/2 inch drop it is a little soft for hailing but i don't do any thing like that with this truck

AusMarty · 09-08-2009, 10:34 AM

ChevLoRay · 09-08-2009, 01:33 PM

The wheels look good, but in my opinion more rubber is needed. What profile are those tires?
