IvelDesigns, I can't even tell your truck is LWB in the pic. it looks super clean!

I have a LWB 3/4 ton & i can't decide if i want to bag it or not because it is so big.

chevydog66 · 01-05-2009, 10:11 PM

How about a GMC? 1 pic with 18's, 1 pic with 20's. Keep in mind that it still has the leaf springs in the rear, it is bagged in the front, until this spring and then it will be on a Chevy frame.

pissonNOS · 01-05-2009, 10:11 PM

i cant believe it but this is the only pic i have on this computer of my truck bagged

texastrendz · 01-05-2009, 11:16 PM

hey pisson nos, what setup are you running in the rear. is factory trailing arms or not. thanks

straitnate14 · 01-05-2009, 11:16 PM

This is my truck with 2 in the back to level it out does that count?

Jcentsr6 · 01-06-2009, 12:15 AM

Whats up with a Trany cross member and raised trailing arms?

I didnt think you needed it in a lwb?

texastrendz · 01-06-2009, 12:17 AM

if you want to put it on the frame you do? i want it low as it will go without a drop member. i think i am going to z mine instead of a dropmember.

Jcentsr6 · 01-06-2009, 12:19 AM

cool. thanks for the info.

texastrendz · 01-06-2009, 12:25 AM

i was kinda asking the question at the same time, the crossmember in my lwb hangs below the frame rails, does yours not, hope i did not waste my money on the crossmember, for one i have to figure out the carrier bearing and two thats alot of rivets, maybe someone else will jump in and help us both out with our questions, any help would be great thanks

Z-ing is no small thing, man! Not for the weak of heart, requires all kinds of math and mods with stearing, body, etc. Drop member solves all of that.

Here's my 4.5/6 LWB:

what size tire are you running on you wheel vintique wheels, just got mine in the 66 series, i think the same you got just not chrome, thanks

C20_Paul · 01-06-2009, 07:43 PM

Here is mine. 1967 C-20 lowered 2/4 with drop springs. I am running 265/70/r17's which are close to rubbing in a couple places. Since I didn't do drop spindles I had to trim my bump stops so I would have more than 2 inches of suspension travel.

And for what it is worth, my house is no longer pink. I remedied that problem as quickly as I could.

17x9w/5bs in the rear, 17x9w/4bs front, 275/55/17 rear, 255/50/17 front. Wish I would have skipped the chrome, done silver and installed the vette rings and cap, but I still like them.

Your truck is gorgeous, I love the stance. I have a 1970 gmc Sierra Grande, I would like to do the same. What company and system did you use. How was the alignment and are there any issues that you encountered that would help me with my planned lowering of my truck. ?
Any thing would help, Thanks.

AlienYouth · 01-06-2009, 09:04 PM

Yep, that's how I like 'em, Long and Low.
