Short Wide Drops, bring em all...
Ok, trying to get the daughter to pic how she wants her truck to look when the suspension is setup. But, she cant do it without visual aids...
So post them up, calling all pics of your drops, from dramatic to just slight! Please also include how you dropped them, this way when she picks one of your stances I can mirror it with her truck! Please and Thank You! ![]() |

1978 c10. Front: 3in drop springs and 2.5in drop spindles. Rear 3in drop leafs 4in drop shackles and hangers. NO c notch No flip kit. Just cut the bottom outs and mounts off. A lot of miles never bottomed out once. Rides better then stock. Running front shocks on all four corners.

Relocated Spring hangers in the rear??? Can you give a little more on how you did this as well? Im thinking if she wants to run 20" rims this might be the height it needs to be... |

Re: Short Wide Drops, bring em all...
It is the standard drop hangers and shackles. Then I added 3in drop leafs. when I was done is was sitting hard on the bottom outs. I took those out now i HAVE 4 1/2IN axel travel. Bolted my buddy's 20's on it just for fun. It looked SICK. Just don't have cash for new wheels right now.

And about what was the total cost on your drop if you don't mind me asking? Been getting ready to drop mine, but blowin my motor set my timeframe back a little, so I have a little more time to plan the drop now.

Re: Short Wide Drops, bring em all...
My lowering kit was 2.5" spindles and 2" springs front and a flip kit for the rear. Everything's from McGaughy's. Here's a link to the kit:
http://www.mcgaughystore.com/mcgaugh...it-part-93150/ The front dropped a bit more than advertised, but the fender bottom just covers the tires, which is where I wanted it. I also had to swap the rear leafs side to side because the standard issue square body gas tank lean was very pronounced at this height. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Short Wide Drops, bring em all...
That's the exact stance and kit I want to use. How was it to install? Any problems/issues?
