No, there aren't any. You have to measure and drill your own.

Yep, exactly. There are lots of springs available, but for the price of a sawzall blade or cutoff disk why not give it a go?

To be honest im not 100% sure. There 15" off of a 454 ss. I checked out the Chevy website and it said they were 8.5, but im not for sure. I dig the black ones, I'll trade lol. I need to put my center caps on, it looks ten times better with them on, but I have to buy all new lugs for the cap covers to screw on, and the caps are about 2.50 a piece.

That's funny..I like the chrome ones.
But I think I'm going to try the black with a black center cap(truck is silver)
I like the stance of your truck..How much is that lowered infront?

6/8 drop. DJM 3" spindles and hangers/shackles both set at 1". Western Chassis 2" springs cut down to 3" and flip kit. 15x8 rallies. 235/70 front and 275/60 rear.

[jsenk7414]

Not as low as what you may be looking for but...here the 2/4 drop I just did for comparison.
Front - 2" drop springs and Nitro drop shocks with energy suspension bushings. Rear - 4" with drop shackles and hangers. Wheels -15x8 Pacer rims with Firehawk Indy 500 275/60R15's

looks good!

This is my shop truck and dirt bike hauler.

Mechanicaly solid but the body is rusted out.
5.5/8 drop
215/70R15 fronts and 235/75R15 rears
Cut the front springs
Flip kit in the rear, removed overload and 2 other leafs and added air shocks.
Rides like a cadillac. The front is a little soft with the half ton springs. 3/4 ton springs would be better. Im going to eventually install some drop spindles, c-notch and bags, but Im in no hurry.

87 GMC Sierra with 15x8 rims and McGaughys 4/6 static drop with new shocks. Rides better than stock.
