i have a 3/5 drop and 22's all the way around. would like the rear to be a little lower or just have bags some day...

[br161]

sbc awesome wheels man what the details on em

SBC... why not add a 6" spring or a block?

Wheels are pretty much knock offs i found on CL. i just did the disc brake conversion and 5x5 axle in the rear so i had to find some rims quick to keep driving. they have a Panther center cap so i guess they're supposed to look like them. tires came with the rims and are 265/35/22.

Like i said above, i did everything at once so once i put it all back together i just decided to stick with the 5" drop in the rear. i might try 6" soon or keep the excuse that "its not low enough" so i have to get bags. haha

TOMATRZ, i dont mean to jack your post but i think the additional info will help you. i think you need to lower that truck quite a bit so the wheels/tires fill the wheel well.

The Drop Spindles were already on the Truck when I took ownership of it in April 09.
I bought everything (to get it to where it is today) at CPP....
(Clasic Performance Parts).
It was a Kit that contained the Frpnt/Rear Springs and (4) Custom Nitrogen Filled Shocks. The Shocks were shorter in Length, to make up for the Shorter Travel with a lowered ride. I also bought the 2" Drop Blocks from CPP, and that was the last "puzzle piece" that got the Rear, down to where I wanted it.
Theres many more pictures at my website.
Just click on the Link below inj my Sig.

I THINK the Kit was about $299.99 and the Blocks were around $70.00
I then had my Mechanic install everything.
When I originally got the Truck, the previous owner had just Torched and cut the original springs.
It was a God Awful/Stiff ride.
Once the Spring/shock kit was installed, I didn't hesitate in driving it EVERYWHERE!

Thanks Boog.
Ya know sometimes I get frustrated because things don't hapen "Fast Enough", instead of just enjoying the ride.

My 67 stepside uses 2in drop springs and 2-1/2 in drop spindles in front with 6 in drop springs in the rear to get it sitting level, not that a$$ high pose these trucks usually have. Then I put 8x17's in front and 10x17s in the rear running 235-60 series tires in front and 285-60's in the rear. The total diameter of tires front and rear is 31 inches. That raises the truck back to stock ride height. A quick glance says it's a stocker...you have to look close to see that it isn't. With a 300 pound water bladder in the bed this truck squats and goes....but then it's supposed to!

I have a 3 5 drop on my truck with 17" wheels . It is currenly under restoration and I will go 3 6 to level out the back with the front and go with 20's

I have a 68 stepside that i am wanting to drop. I only have the money to do a spring drop right now. I have heard if you do a 3" front spring drop they can be really hard to align, is this true? Also I heard if you do a 5" rear spring drop you might need to "c" notch the frame, is this true? I was wanting to go a 2/4 but if i can go a 3/5 and not have alignment issues or have to due a "c" notch that would be great. any advise you can give me would be great. Thanks guys. I am running a 235/70/15 in the front and 275/60/15 in the rear just so you know

[Slick67]

20s in the front and 22s out back.

[nastyc10]

[72BlckButy]

You will not need to run a c-notch for a 5" drop in the rear.
Currently I am running a 6" drop spring and have never bottomed out, and I'm not even running bump stops. If you plan to use your truck as a truck, then you might want to consider helper bags or shrader valves on bags in the rear so you can fill them up to raise the rear as needed.

As far as the 3" spring up front... several board members have ran a 3" drop spring without any issues. Now, from what I've heard, when you raise the front end with a jack, the spring has the tendency to come out of the pocket as the suspension raises/lowers. Several board members run a 3" spring without any issues and are able to get it aligned by a reputable shop.
