Re: Drop pics
I just bought the truck 2 weeks ago so I'm still researching the parts.
The part number on the rear spring show it to be a 4" lowering spring and I have drop spindles on the front probably a 2"-3" drop. I don't rub anywhere. Where did you get your rims? EDIT... one more thing. Scroll through the post your ride thread. There are plenty of dropped/bagged trucks in there.

Re: Drop pics
Should look sweet.
I need to start on my body work. Found out tonight that my left kick panel is rusted out. I need some rims but finding some 6 lug that I like is hard. I don't like all the new rims they have out now a days. Give me an old school weld draglight and I will be happy.

Re: Drop pics
Here's mine with a 3.5/5 drop. 255/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear tires on 15x8 Hopsters all around.
   Also check out the orange 71 GMC owned by Orange. He has the 3/5 springs like your looking at. Look at www.slickorange.com
