a quick pic after lowering! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

diponyou · 03-14-2010, 10:03 PM

well here is just a quick pic after i lowered the 77.

before,previous owner torched springs,flipkit with 3 extra random leafs in?:

after,3in spindles,2in springs,flipkit,shackles,stock leafs:

i still need to do some trimming,the driver side shackle is rubbing still and is tilting the bed so its about 1/2 inch higher in the back then in the pic,im still working out the kinks.

it rides way better now and i would like to go 1 in lower in the front.
but ill just drive it like this and maybe the springs will settle some?

looks really good, you can put those chrome moon caps back on the wheels. did you have to buy new leafs or did you score them at the junk yard?

thanks man and thanks everyone else.
i just got a few more things to ad to the sweetness that ill be installing here shortly.

the back seems pretty bouncy now though once i swapped out the leafs and shackles....anyone else experience this?
it could be because the driver side shackle isnt all the way up but i dunno?
