PICS of 2.5" drop Spindle trucks please!!
I currently have 2.5" drop spindles on my truck w/2" drop springs. I am planning on trading or purshasing my springs for stock height, and am wondering what it would look like with just the 2.5" spindles. It looks freaking tough now, but it's too low for driving around as I already bent my lower control arm. Thanks.

You can see my truck at webshots.com. I'm in their files under the same Chevloray name I use here. Actually, I have pix of two trucks...the black one is in Fort Worth, TX and has a new owner. The other one is lowered 2.5-inches with spindles, AND another inch with the 235R60-15 tires on the front. Springs are NEW stock-height, but I am seriously considering going to a 1-inch lowering spring for the front and replace the 4-inch lowering rear springs with the 6-inch lowering springs. It's tough to be my age and have a new toy.

Thanks for the pic Project1970! That looks nice, and makes up my mind. Still low, but at least reasonable for driving. Would you happen to know anyone who would want to trade me some newer stock springs for my 2" drop springs? Thanks

Nah, I wouldn't, sorry...I must say that it is a great height for a daily driver. I think I've bottomed it out maybe three times ever...front crossmember...twice going over a railroad crossing that was extremely rough (it's since been repaved) and once pulling out of a parking lot with a really really steep ramp down to the street too fast.
Of course, I can't say I wouldn't mind bags, so I could slam it for cruising and parking it...

Well, so much for Webshots.....I guess they dropped my albums from their website. Big whoop.
