finally finished lowering my truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Haven't posted in awhile, thought I'd post a picture of my truck's new stance. I'm embarrassed to say it took a year for me to finish it. It was funny riding around with the front dropped 5" and the rear basically stock height. Anyway here it is now

Thanks for the comments! It is a static drop, 3" spindles & 2" springs up front and the rear is flipped.

Smoke_Dog · 12-27-2011, 07:24 PM

How is the ride?

Rides great, I didn't install a c-notch but I've had no issues with bottoming out. Compared to my old worn out shocks and balljoints it has actually improved the ride

i have the same set up on the front, 3" spindles and 2" springs. are you having any problems with the alignment? i'm wearing the inside edges of the tread. damn Mickey's aint cheap, lol.

beautiful truck you have by the way............

41willys · 12-28-2011, 05:37 AM

Very nice looking ride. Any problems with control arms, drop spindle and 15" rims. In other words did you have to grind any material off the control arms?

Pop's C-10 · 12-27-2011, 08:59 PM

looks good

bigsj · 12-27-2011, 09:29 PM

You got that truck setting nice my fellow marylander.

bigwheel15 · 12-27-2011, 10:02 PM

Not a thing id change, a dropped truck that keeps an otherwise stock look is a timeless look imo.

meter swinger · 12-27-2011, 10:06 PM

Beautiful man, very classic.

That looks sweet!

So what's next?

1LowToy · 12-28-2011, 11:12 AM

Looks nice.

I was wondering are those 7" & 10" rallys, what size tires? You have already given up it took a year to put it together. Hope you going to stop by and answer dumb questions for us.

I have not noticed any issues yet, I still plan to take it in for an alignment

I had to grind a little off the control arms for clearance but not much, the front are 6.5" rims

Fronts are 6.5 van rallys and rear are 8" truck rallys. I still stop by regularly I just have not posted much lately

Thanks again!
