Im thinking about dropping my truck very low, can ya'll post pics of your gmc with 4/6 or lower drops?

PS: Do they make anything lower than 4/6, maybe a 5/7 or something like that?

By combining the dropped spindle with a shorter spring the front could be lowered 5 inches. As far as I know they don't make any springs with more than a 6 inch drop for the rear. But I think you could combine a 6 inch spring with a 1 inch lowering block for a 5/7 drop. I'm using a 2 1/2 dropped spindle with 2 inch spring in the front and a 6 inch spring and spacer in the rear. All I have is a frame at this point so I can give you any pics or info on ground clearance. I'd like to see some pics myself.

dinnut: that truck looks HOT with that color blue with that kind of flatness on it. When I repaint my truck I was gonna do it a forest green, but now I'm tempted to do it that color blue!

72ChevyLWB: your truck looks great with the 20'sand 5.5/6 drop.

I believe mine works out to a 9.5/12.5 drop...

Slammed67 is probably a hair lower thanks to his wimpy... er... smaller tires. Lotik and a couple others make mine look like a 4x4.
