Let me see your stance!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Chuckin · 10-21-2014, 01:58 PM

One of, if not THE, most important part of a truck's appearance is the stance. You could make an 'ol beater look lean and mean, and a pristine truck look like a it belongs to a chic. However, not enough adequate info is out there the help others determine what stance they like. Let see some pics of your trucks with the following info provided in the following format... Let's see what you got!!!!!!!!!

Truck Year:
Lowered/Lifted Front: (ex. +/- 2 in.)
Lowered/Lifted Back:
Wheel Make/Model:
Front Wheel Size: (ex. 18x8)
Rear Wheel Size:
Front Wheel Displacement: (+/-)
Rear Wheel Displacement:
Tire Size (Optional):

Stock height, Cragar s/s 16x8, 255/50VR16; think i need to lower and get taller tires.

zamboni2354 · 10-22-2014, 11:30 AM

Truck Year: 1972
CPP drop kit. 5 inch drop springs in the rear and drop spindles and maybe the spring as well in the front. not sure what the drop in the front is.

15 inch rally wheels. I'd have to look to see what the front is but the rear tires are 275/60/15's

Lees68GMC · 10-22-2014, 11:36 AM

Really not much help mines a GMC with leaf springs in the rear so we've done a few different things like removing leafs, building custom rear shackles, etc. The front is just stock springs with McGauheys 2-1/2" drop spindles only.

Ultimately would like to go with C5s-20s on my truck, like I photo-shopped here

Sklptrljay · 10-22-2014, 12:28 PM

ECE 4.5/7 (4.5/6 with 1" lowering blocks in the rear)
C-notched
1" thick wheel spacers on the rear

Nice rides everyone, here's mine with 2.5" spindles and 5" springs in the rear. Thinking about going lower with some 1" blocks?

Hugh Mongus · 10-22-2014, 03:40 PM

Hotchkis 4/6

*Fitz* · 10-22-2014, 04:47 PM

Truck Year: 1967
Lowered/Lifted Front: drop 3.5 in
Lowered/Lifted Back: drop 5 in
Wheel Make/Model: Billet Specialties SLC 65
Front Wheel Size: 17 X 8
Rear Wheel Size: 17X10
Front Wheel Displacement: WTF? 255/60 R17
Rear Wheel Displacement: " 275/60 R1

Don't know what Wheel Displacement is. In a boat it's the volume of water displaced by the hull when the boat is at rated load. But this definitely isn't a boat!

Dropping the suspension and going up in wheel and tire size to 17's with 60 series sidewalls brings the hood and doors up to what might be a stock ride height but the tires will fill the wheel wells instead of the "truck on stilts" stock look. If you don't know these trucks and you don't know much about stockers you might just think that the truck is all show and no go....until I mash the gas. This baby goes, and I don't need nitrous.
