Re: drop questions
i have a 5/7 cpp grand slam. love it. you will need a c notch if you go this low. as far as larger wheels/tires i am of no help, but i have zero issues running 15 x 7 and 15 x 8 rallies.

Re: drop questions
How low can you go without c notching? And I like the 15s. I have nice 15 inch tires I just need to find some 15 inch torque thrusts.

Re: drop questions
I would say you can go about 6" before needing a c-notch. I would recommend one for a drop over 6", or if you use the truck to hauls things occasionally...... A 4.5/6 drop will give you a nice stance. You can go with a 10" wheel in the back.

Re: drop questions
Ok. Well I figured out I need disks to do it...what did you think about the grand slam kit? Also does it come with a panhard bar?

Re: drop questions
I just droppedmy 72. I went with 5" rear springs and I am going to need to c notch my frame. It is sitting on my bump stops now. I didn't need to replace my pa hard bar. The rear axle is sitting right where it was. I took measurements before and after.

Re: drop questions
Well I guess all I need is bushings for the panhard bar.
