Yet another drop question
Im going to be overhauling in a few weeks and need some advise...
Trucks on 275/60/15's stock, im gonna be doing a 4/6 drop, think front will rub? How low before they do? what i got coming: napa steering parts (tie rods and what not); poly control arm bushings, spindles, rotors, brake lines (ss braided) fresh fluid haha.... i smell a build thread! |

Re: Yet another drop question
It depends on how you drop the front. If you go with a 3" spindle and 1" spring you might be ok. That is a tall tire so you might comsider something a bit lower profile.

the wheels are old school 70's flower mags. the backspacing im unsure of.... tape measure says ill have about 5/8 of a gap between tire to fender after drop. But im concerned of turns with bumps, i may end up cutting the fender up, I dont know yet....... think ill HAVE to? Quote:

Re: Yet another drop question
I pretty sure 4" you will have problems with 275-60s I have 3" spindles and new stock springs with 255-60s on gm rallys. It tooke some grinding on the lower control arm that I really did not like doing. I think a 4" drop becomes a little impractical as the suspension becomes a little too low.
Tell us which wheels do you have and people will be able to answer your questions a little better. Last edited by 1LowToy; 04-09-2011 at 10:02 AM. |
