Pics of dropped pickups - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

newsalem2004 · 10-27-2003, 07:27 PM

Im looking to buy some dropped coils for my 69 chevy. But undecided what height to drop it. Im looking into a 4-2 drop. Can you guys show me some pics of your dropped pickups. Preferrably a 4-2 so I can see how it makes the pickup sit. That is what Im all about is stance. It has to sit right for me. Thanks

May want to check in the "pictures" forum and at Early Classic Enterprises website...they have pics of various drops.

Hotrod70C10 · 10-27-2003, 10:25 PM

here's a shot of a 2/4 on my truck and then a shot of a 4/4 drop... I swaped out the 2 inch drop springs for 1 1/2 inch springs when I did the disc brake conversion. Hope this helps!

Hotrod70C10 · 10-27-2003, 10:27 PM

Damn gashog I to think that is cool looking!!

70c10 · 10-28-2003, 08:17 AM

They all look good!. I need to lower mine.

TsgtE662 · 10-28-2003, 10:35 AM

Gashog - that is a real beauty! I had to save the pic for the collection! I can only dream, until mine is done. Someday.

sactoC10 · 10-28-2003, 11:54 AM

gashog,

What drop combination (parts) did you use and what tire size you have there?

hotrod70,

Same question for you.

Hotrod70C10 · 10-28-2003, 12:03 PM

sactoC10, I have in front, Mcghauy's 6 lug disc and 2 1/2 drop spidle kit. I also have Early Classic 1 1/2" drop springs in the front. For rear I have Early Classic 4" drop springs and their adjustable tracking bar. Tire sizes are 255/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear.

**smitty62** · 10-28-2003, 03:05 PM

Hotrod;
With that setup, how does it ride and handle?

Hotrod70C10 · 10-28-2003, 03:27 PM

It rides great! I can't compare it to totally stock suspension because my springs were sagging and most of the bushings were shot before I did the swap. But with the new springs, shocks and, bushings It rides and handles smooth, instead of the jolting bangs and bumps that I used to get with the wore out stock stuff.

REDNEKID · 10-28-2003, 04:31 PM

Here is a pic of mine. I really have no idea how low it is compared to stock since it was this way when I bought it.

gashog · 10-29-2003, 01:17 AM

thanks for the complements you guys, I'm running McGaughys (www.mcgaughysclassic.com) 2.5" drop spindles and 6 lug disc brake set up, 3" drop rear coils and 1.5" lowering blocks and an ajustable track bar. I'm running 8x15 front with 255 60 tires, rears are 15x10 and 275 60,s
