I am looking to drop my truck 5 inches in the front and 6 inches in the back. Does anybody have any pics of these?

jdmaffeo · 04-26-2008, 06:10 PM

Here is my '84 stepside. I lowered it 4.5/6. I used 2.5 inch spindles and 2 inch springs in the front and a flip kit in and c-notch the rear.

Mine´s lowered 4" in front with spindles and springs and 6" in back with a flipkit!

Thanks for the props!

Here's mine. 2 1/2" spindles, cut springs and a flip in the rear. No bags yet. Firestone spring helpers for the front going in this week with stock springs cause of BBC install.

C10 the GEM · 04-29-2008, 06:13 AM

with it lowered 5/7 will the truck sit level?

Hard to say because most that do this drop don't run the same size tires on a 4 corners. it should be very close though as most trucks have about 2" of rake to allow for weighing down the rear of the bed when working/hauling stuff.

3" spindals, 1 loop cut off the stock springs, flip kit, shackles, hangers, frame notch, relocated rear shocks, double hump trans crossmember.
5/8 maybe 6/9, I can't get a jack under it anymore...
