Need pics 60-66 (slammed not bagged) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

oneoutrage · 08-08-2009, 02:02 PM

Is there any pics of any 60-66 slammed not bagged, im looking to see how low you can go without the bags.

highschoolbuilder · 08-08-2009, 04:45 PM

im honestly not sure what type of drop my truck is. but i know it doesn't have drop spindles.... and it sits that low. so you can do alot for a little bit of money!

daverod · 08-08-2009, 06:36 PM

Here mine jeep springs in rear and 1 1/2 coil wack in the front. Throw a couple 2x4's in the back and it drops abour 2" more.

oh ya I cut the rubber stops off and the brackets that held them.

MXmaniac · 08-08-2009, 07:03 PM

I haven't dropped the rear of mine yet, but the front has 3" drop springs, and I stepped the lower control arms 1-1/2". Total of 4-1/2" in front. The rear is going to have manual-fill airbags.

onequick66 · 08-09-2009, 12:10 AM

my 66 has a 4-6 drop on springs only and it still rides fine

terd ferguson · 08-09-2009, 01:02 AM

Two coils ut up front and Jeep TJ springs plus 3" blocks in the rear. The front is pretty much on the trimmed bumpstops and the rear is about an inch off. The rear rides good, the front not so good. 1 1/2 coils is probably about perfect.

***EDITED TO ADD***
The tires are 235/75/16

highschoolbuilder · 08-09-2009, 01:29 AM

can anyone take a guess at what mine is? it sits so low. way lower than the 6-4 and i just bought it that way. any ganders?

63 & 64 Bowties · 08-09-2009, 06:35 AM

My 63. about 1.5 or maybe 2 coils cut up front ( I can't remember), bump stops cut off and 70's Chevelle springs in the rear.

how do those chevelle springs handle a load? I know the jeep ones basically don't...

I don't really know Jon. I never haul anything. They do ride good though.

Cut your stops off and the bracket that hold them. It will ride fine.

**ChiefRocka** · 08-09-2009, 10:50 AM

This thing was cut way down in the front....removed steering stop/bumpstop mounts and short shocks....rode great, and could still go down more...

I've got another set of lower control arms that are shaved. I just haven't swapped them out yet.

But the "new" shaved control arms have new ball joints and shafts/bushings.
