Biggest Static Drop

[ilnvyb360]

Here’s mine at 4.5 front/7” rear drop. Only issue I have is the LCA ground clearance. I’m running 20s now so it sits higher and no longer a big concern

3" or less LCA w/the 15's right?

It's when the LOWER A-Arms are 3" or less from the pavement, is when the issues of daily & functional come into play. That is w/15 inch wheels, good to excellent quality shocks and what coils are used. You never see pix of the A-arms sitting at actual ride height in these threads. I really do plan on moving the crossmember up 2" (either 'Z' or notching the bottom of the frame) AND the sectioning of the stock crossmember 1". Not interested in the aftermarket crossmember kits for this build. 2.5 spindles & a pair of MOOG 3/4 ton w/ one wrap (2") will round it off.

I currently drive a '61 Impala w/3" of LCA clearances. BUT the frame & body are lower slung & high centers those aforementioned step driveways/crowns of street & highway. Just slow down and read that road. But I would love if some of manufacturers had a basement budget crossmember kit that uses stock A-arms.

I daily my Suburban on a 5/5 drop, but it's a Qa1 Coilover conversion in the front with CPP Modular Spindles, the rear is a flip kit with new 1 ton springs with an additional inch or arch. No notch yet, but it's on order. Recently added Slosh Tubz Mild and have no rubbing with 275/40/20's in the front.

Yes 5.5" Backspacing on both.

315/35/20's in the rear.

The 275mm width looks decent on the 8.5" wheel (better than what I would have thought). The tire/wheel sizes compliment each other well.
