Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!

My truck has CPP 3" lowered springs which I cut a coil and a half off. The rear has CPP 5" lowered springs with 2" blocks as well. From what I can tell I have the 5/7 drop.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!

5" drop springs out back, 2 1/2" drop spindles and 2" drop springs in the front.
Other than a stiff ride in the rear, its great. I plan to keep th rear springs since I use it as a truck and haul stuff still. If anything I may throw a bit of weight back there to soften the ride a bit. Ill likely be putting in at least a 1" block in the rear as well. I like the rake, but its just a bit much.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!

Previous owner had cut some coils (not sure how much) on front and rear. Just added 2.5 inch drop spindles. Front is way low - like an inch off the bumpstops. Bottoms out and tires rub when turning (but just barely). For those that said they cut them off, what shocks did you use? Also, I am taking suggestions for what size drop coils for the rear. I am thinking 3".

CPP 3/5 with 1 coil cut up front. Adjustable track bar and rear shock relocation kit. After the 1 coil removal up front she was resting on rubber stops so out the stops came. She rides good and I might remove the front stop perch for some more travel.
