pics of 3/5 & 4/6 drops - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok.... So as you can see in the other thread I posted, I was considering dropping my 78 3 in the front and 5 in the rear. However, I have a lot of people trying to convince me to do a 4/6 drop. I was wondering if you guys here could help me out with some photos of your 3/5 and 4/6 drops so I could see them side by side so to speak. Also, do you always need to notch the frame if you do a 6" rear drop. Please help me out here and thanks in advance.

Mine is a 3-5 but im going to put a set of 2" springs in front to make it a 5/5. If it ever comes back from paint that is.

Malo, did you use drop spindles or just cut the front coils and remove the bump stop? How's the ride quality?

Don't think you could get one, my kit was locally made and it consists of a
1/2" thick spacer and longer A arm bolts, you can see the spacer right behind the shims

bump for the question about notching frame for a flip. Does a notch have to be done for a 6" flip? Also, where, who sells a short bump stop for the front and rear of my 86. What brand?

tidos76 · 10-21-2011, 09:30 PM

3/5 no notch. flip kit and spindles. cut the bump stops about half way down.

muthstryker · 10-21-2011, 10:00 PM

You can get away with a 7" drop out back with out a notch, just have to take off your factory bump stop mount and dont plan on hauling anything.
