I posted a thread (Lowering 1972 Stepside) and I bought the kit from Brothers, (shocks, springs and trac arm) with a 3 inch drop in the front and a 5 inch drop in the rear but I only got a 2.5 inch drop in the rear, so I installed a 2 inch lowering block and wound up with 28 inches and 28.5 at the front and rear wheel wells respectfully.

My Stepdad has a '68 427 4spd multi show winning Vette.

And the truck looks great!

JIMS1972STEPSIDE · 03-06-2006, 02:11 PM

Now that I got the drop I wanted, any ideas on headers and I want duals all the way back to the rear. I heard that Hedman Headers would be a good choice. And I will need an alternator bracket to mount to the headers.Thoughts?

All 2 seaters? Nice truck. And vette's.

71swb4x4 · 03-06-2006, 02:32 PM

Nice!
I have been thinking about putting vette ralley wheels on my Jimmy. Are those 15's?

HotRod71 · 03-06-2006, 02:32 PM

You paid for a 5" drop and only got 2.5????? I would not have been happy about that but the truck looks great now.

JIMS1972STEPSIDE · 03-06-2006, 02:37 PM

Yes the ralleys are 15 inch and the guys at Brothers were not sure as to why I did not get the full drop at the rear but I am happy with the drop now, next its off to the aligment shop.
