Anybody keep the stock ride height? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mine is stock height, and will stay that way. That's the whole reason why I got the thing, was because the '77 Monte Carlo I was driving sat too low. Besides, it just looks "right" at the stock height. I agree, if you want something lower, get a car!!!
Just my 2 cents.

Mine is stock. Lowering is too expensive and I've already rebuilt my front suspension. If I wanted a lower vehicle I'd buy a car.

Stock with HD coils. If I want it lower, I'll get a load of dirt.

Lemield · 03-27-2006, 11:07 AM

Both of mine are stock height. I like them that way.

lilred67 · 03-27-2006, 04:08 PM

stock all the way.i do like the look of lowered trucks but it's just not my style.

**dennislbrooks** · 03-27-2006, 04:15 PM

me too -- I like the stock height on my 67 swb

Orange '71 GMC · 03-29-2006, 09:25 AM

Stock.
Can't really set my heart on lowering.

Even though it does look good...
It IS a truck, ya know...

Hook'em · 03-29-2006, 10:36 AM

As far as I know the height is stock.

RicksTrucks · 03-30-2006, 02:58 AM

All of mine are staying stock height since they tend to leave the pavement when I am hunting or fishing or just carrying loads. Trucks are high, cars are low - IMO

jhow66 · 03-30-2006, 12:02 PM

Stock height.

Bill72BB · 03-30-2006, 12:19 PM

BB; close to stock ,removed the HD spring in the rear .

ckhd · 03-30-2006, 01:05 PM

All of mine are stock height. I don't like lifted or lowered.

I can appreciate the ones that are lifted/lowered and done right, but they aren't for me.

flatbedchev · 04-07-2006, 01:02 PM

mine is at stock ride height and it rides great. I'm going to add front and rear sway bars to take the lean out of it and hope to get it back on the road this summer

cstanley · 04-07-2006, 01:40 PM

stock, baby! too many critters and dallas potholes!!!

boundstaffpress · 04-07-2006, 01:46 PM

I like stock height vehicles. If lowered, I think airbags are essential. Up for clearance, down for looks.

'Round here we see a lot of low riders. People just take out coils from their springs and put on teeny tiny tires. I laugh when they hit pebbles in the street and the whole car shakes.
