[glen86]

I was wondering if anybody had some advice and maybe some pics I could see. I'm planning on putting a 2-3 drop on my 86 c10 n was wondering wat would give me a good look.

I ran a 275/60/r15 rear and 235/60/r15 front on my 86 with a good amount of drop on it, but I really have no clue what was on it because the P.O had put it on there before me owning it.

275 60 R 15 all the way around on 8.5" ralleys.

[glen86]

Truck looks wicked mean like the color. Thanks for the pic n info did u do a flip kit in the rear?

[Malo83]

Flip kit and 2 cut coils

[glen86]

Did u have to install a cnotch kit? If not how bout clearance issues thanks

[Malo83]

No C notch, there's about 3" of clearance between the frame and axle, has only bottomed out once when carrying a load of ceramic tiles, other than that no issues

[glen86]

K that's good I want to do the flip I just didn't want to cut my frame. N I've heard its close I was thinking about doing the flip BT add in a spring to put a lil bit more cleance. Wat u think

[Malo83]

I would do the flip kit first and see how you like it. If you plan on hauling a lot of stuff then think about adding an additional spring.

Here a site where you can plug in tire sizes and compare height and width. (Choose the 'Overlay' option)
