Super Low Pro Street Project

Hey people, I was just hoping some of you guys could tell me how you get your pickups to sit so low, I am starting a pro street project, and I want it to sit really low, like close to frame on ground, I will be backhalving the truck first, and then moving up front to tackle whatever needs to be done there...I'm just wondering what it takes in the front/and or rear to lowever everything properly and not be dragging any components on the ground or scraping anything that shouldn't...thank you...also, any pictures of what you guys are talking about would be helpful..!!!Thanks again

Re: Super Low Pro Street Project

If I were you I would do a search on the subject of lowering or bagging our trucks and also you could visit the suspension section of the forum. Lots of good info there.

Re: Super Low Pro Street Project

The front is easy, bags and dropped spindles. The rear will require a large c-notch that will go up into the bed. All is doable, depending on time, money and skill....... Can't wait to see your pictures. I've got a 68 that is tubbed and lowered, but not slammed on the ground. I like to use my bed, . Someday I'll make it look like this last photo, .

Re: Super Low Pro Street Project

To get mine slammed, I went with a porterbuilt dropmember to replace my factory crossmember, drop spindles and bags. I raised the exhaust system up in the framerails and used a tubular tranny crossmember so nothing hangs below the frame.
