Please Help! Need suggestions for suspension drop. 77 short box
Im kinda stuck on what to do for a suspension drop. Im looking to do a 3front 4 rear drop or something in that range. Im not sure what im gonna end up running for wheels either 15's with wider tires or go 22s. heres some questions i have any help would be appreciated.
Rear: Im thinking flip kit. is it necessary to install the c notch in the rear? Front : i dont know what to do for a 3 or 4 inch drop. Drop spindles, A arms, Springs? |

Hey, sharp truck... You dont have to do a c-notch in the back with a flip kit, you will have to cut your factory bump stops off.. And springs and spindles should do the trick in the front

My advice is do it once, and be done with it. With that said, I prefer 3" spindles up front as it gives the most drop with out affecting the ride. If you want more you can cut a half to one full coil from your stock spring. In the rear, flip it. You don't have to do a C-notch, but I would. If you ever need it, you will wish it were there.
As far as wheels go, my vote is 20's all around. Unless your going to bag it, 22's look to big.
