First drive of the year
Finally a decent day in Nebraska so it gave me a chance to blow off the dust. I’m still undecided on front springs. I’m running 2 1/2 drop spindles and 2 inch big block drop springs. I have no rubbing issues just thinking about going to 1 inch drop springs .

It looks great and is probably really nice to drive without worrying about scrape-age.

Re: First drive of the year
The idea of me going to 1 inch drop springs instead of the 2 inch is to raise the front end 1 inch and level it out just a bit more.

Re: First drive of the year
Nice looking truck. What's the rear drop? I have the same setup in the front with small block springs. I will need to buy some BB ones when I do my motor swap. I really like the way mine sits. I did a flip in the rear that dropped it 7". And I have 27" tall tire in the front and a 29" in the rear for a slight rake to front that I prefer.

27.7 front tires and 29 rear. In the rear I have new leafs with overload spring removed and a DJM flip kit. I tried to use the Caltrac set up like yours but for some reason the front spring hangers would not work and with no help from to remedy the issue they offered me a refund and I sent them back.

Re: First drive of the year
I remember that conversation now. Obviously a personally preference, but I think truck looks good as is.
