Looking for pics 5/6 rear coil drop
Im undecided on my rear drop, not wanting to c-notch. Wanted to see if any one could post any pics of how much room you have from the axle to the frame you have with your drop in the rear. I have a swb with a missing wood floor. My truck is not a daily. Any pics are appreciated.

Re: Looking for pics 5/6 rear coil drop
Sorry I don't have a pic to post to show you, but I am running the ECE 6" drop spring and don't have a C-notch and don't need one. Talk to Early Classic and they will guide you. I'm sure if I slammed a speed bump or something I would hit the rubber stops, but I plan to go slow...over speed bumps.

Re: Looking for pics 5/6 rear coil drop
ECE 6" drop coil springs in the back, no notch. its about 3" between axle and frame.
i wanted the spacing between the tire and fender curve to be equal the whole curve. it is... hard to see in pic. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1548989450 |

just measured 2.25" between frame and axle. not sure why mine is so low. good thing i dont plan on towing. honestly just got it together havent driven it on the road besides around the block. could always add an inch block if i bottom out more than i like. (before i get around to c-notch) |
