Re: What's the best 5/7 drop set up?

It's just a matter of personal preference on how you go about it. If it were me, I would look at the Summit Racing website and get your credit card out. Buy a set of DJM 3" spindles, and Summit brand 2" springs. For the rear I would use a DJM or Summit brand flip kit.

BTW- Did you just buy this truck? I saw one that looked just like it on Craigslist about a month ago.

Thanks for your advice, yes I saw it a month and ahalf ago. The previous owner and I talk, but nothing happen. So about a week ago, I called him and he made me an offer I couldn't pass up. 1977 chevy silverado trailering special with 59,000 orignal miles. It has a few mods, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Man, I have followed N2TRUX ever since you came out in classic trucks magazine...Your 77 has been my inspiration....thanks N2TRux is one of the best looking trucks I have ever seen!

I thought that was the one. He had it posted at a really good price. If you get it below that you scored big.

Thanks for the kind words regarding my truck.
