Re: EZ-Chassis Kit 2'' Drop..But Want To Go Lower

Start with drop spindles and then see how much lower he wants to go. Some of it will depend on how tall the tires are. If you look at my build thread My cab is 3.5" off the frame, with 2" drop spindles on the front...but I'm running 28" tires front and rear so it's not as low as it could be with shorter tires.

Re: EZ-Chassis Kit 2'' Drop..But Want To Go Lower

Look for SgtUSMC's build to see what he did. I'm pretty sure that's his truck on his list there. I think if he wants it that low, he's not going to be happy with a kit. The steering box is really in the way. You'll need to be where BlueJeep suggests. 3.5" from the frame. Ours is 5" from the frame and we are at about 8" from running board to ground on our '54 with no spindle drop. It may also matter if you have 4 cyl vs 6 cyl springs. We've got 3" blocks in the rear.
