Need Lowered Pics Please!

I am looking to drop my truck 5 inches in the front and 6 inches in the back. Does anybody have any pics of these?

Re: Need Lowered Pics Please!

Here is my '84 stepside. I lowered it 4.5/6. I used 2.5 inch spindles and 2 inch springs in the front and a flip kit in and c-notch the rear.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

That's gotta be one of the best looking stances I have seen on the square bodies. Looks great.

Re: Need Lowered Pics Please!

Here's mine. 2 1/2" spindles, cut springs and a flip in the rear. No bags yet. Firestone spring helpers for the front going in this week with stock springs cause of BBC install.

Hard to say because most that do this drop don't run the same size tires on a 4 corners. it should be very close though as most trucks have about 2" of rake to allow for weighing down the rear of the bed when working/hauling stuff.

3" spindals, 1 loop cut off the stock springs, flip kit, shackles, hangers, frame notch, relocated rear shocks, double hump trans crossmember.
5/8 maybe 6/9, I can't get a jack under it anymore...
