Re: How about a show us you truck dropped thread?
nice! I cant make up my mind between 2 1/2 or 3 inch drop spindles. I am going with 18's on the front and 20's on the back. I dont plan on cutting the coils but if I need to i may. I just hope that is enough drop to fill the wheel well. I am gonna drop the rear 4 inches with shackles and relocaters as well. I dont wanna drop it crazy low, just enough to where you can tell its dropped you know?

Re: How about a show us you truck dropped thread?
Looks nice Bigwheel. Can you telle us what rear leaf pack you have, 3,5 or 7 leaf?
Oh and here's mine Home made flip, 3" bell techs and on coil of the front. Still undergoing changes and the one coil off the front was too much. 15x8s 275x60 and 255x60s Soon to be a stepper Last edited by 1LowToy; 03-30-2011 at 08:57 AM. |

Re: How about a show us you truck dropped thread?
 6/8 drop Excuse the fuzzy memory, it's been about 15 years since I lowered it, but I'm pretty sure the math is 4" spindle (hard to come by these days from what I've heard) + 2" drop coil front, flip kit + 2" shackles in the back.

Re: How about a show us you truck dropped thread?
3/5. Djm shorter springs up front and flip kit on the back. No C notch. Looking at options to drop it another inch to 4/6. I know i'll need the c notch then but can someone tell me what i'll need to get it down? I don't want to cut the springs. The PO did it that way and it rode like a log truck.

You need a set of spindles in the front. They come in different lengths. I just put western chassis 2.5" spindles on mine. |
