This truck looks great!

Did you lower the front with a drop spindle? If so, which drop spindle did you go with?

Re: New Kicks on the 72, American Eagle 225

Perfect set up! Wheels are fit just right.

What drop are you running? 3/5? What's the backspace specs on those wheels?

The dish on those are sweet!

Beautiful rims...and if my eyes are what they used to be, quite the doll in the front seat!

Re: New Kicks on the 72, American Eagle 225

Thanks guys for the comments. The drop in that picture is 4/5 1/2. Im not sure what the backspacing is but the offset for the rear is +2 and the front is -5. Since then i have lowered the rear 1 more inch to even it out and i think it looks better. ill post some pics soon.

Re: New Kicks on the 72, American Eagle 225

Did you get a chance to take a new picture of your truck's stance?

Also, what did you use to lower the front of your truck, a drop spindle (which company did you use for the drop spindle), coil, or a combination of the two?

Re: New Kicks on the 72, American Eagle 225

Maybe I missed it, but how wide are the wheels? 8.5" w -5mm BS? Front and rear? With a 315, you almost need a 9.5" ? Do you have one of the original boxes and/or possibly a part number? I'd like to get two of the exact same front wheels for my 68. .. just starting with the fronts for now. My truck is a stepper, so I can't go hardly as big on the rear. I'll have to figure something else out.

Looks killer man. ..
