How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66

[mrivera28]

Forest, that's a photoshopped pic. I know I won't be sitting that low but just got everything ordered from Sid so I'm excited. She should be done in about a month.

Apologies for posting on here, just realized it wasn't for 59's but it's a great forum!

Anyone have a pic of a 2-3 drop? Got a set of 3" rear springs coming, and thinking about ordering some 2" for the front.

The TJ Jeep rear springs brought mine down a full 4" in the rear and I cut 2 coils off of stock fronts

I cut 1 1/2 off of the front of mine with the tj springs in the rear. it still has a little rake but I had to cut the bump stops off the front or they would hit. The front still has good suspension but the back has almost none. I can't put anything in the back without it bottoming out. My bike makes the truck totally bottom out and that was one of the main reasons I lowered it. I have some load leveling bags that I plan to install but I'd "splurge" and buy the real lowering springs for the rear if I had it to do over again.

I really like your interior, is that a tilt column or do you have to bend your head down to see the tach? It's almost like you could glance at the speedometer and co-witness the tach at the same time, I like it.

You should get some gauges that match the tach to replace the dummy lights, that would be perfect, plus it'd get rid of the add on gauges below the radio and clean everything up.

Love the stance of your truck too.

thanks for the comments. it is the factory non tilt steering column. i have no issues seeing the tach sitting normal (i am 6'0"). i am saving for the Fastlane west dash to eliminate the under dash gauges the PO installed. as for the stance i am debating on bags or staying static.

I hate to bug you but I have to ask what you think about the rear tank conversion - given you are on the road with a similar drop to what I've got on my truck ( 5 1/2 front - 6 rear).

I just finished mocking it up on my 62 C10 and would like to know more before I proceed with eliminating tank in cab.

9 1/2 inches to the ground with body off seems close - likely clearance issues for actual drivability.

Thank you - rg

First pic is where I started on Saturday, and second pic is where I ended up.

1st one is all spring 3/5 drop.

2nd one is with 5/5 drop with 2" spindles added up front.
