Re: looking for photos of your dropped trucks
3 inch belltech spindles and 96 ford taurus rear station wagon springs.
rear dropped 4.5-5 18 inch coy wheels. I'd like to go another inch but this was a quicky deal to get the truck rolling lower. |

Re: looking for photos of your dropped trucks
I am looking at a 3.5/4 or a 5" rear drop. I would like to get responce from those that dropped the rear 5", did you have to notch the frame and if not how much clearance from the top of the axle to the frame. In my measuring I come up that a 4" will give my 2 3/4" gap between the axle and the frame.

With a 6" drop I had 2" between the fram and the top of the axle to the 4" between the top of the pumpkin and the bottom of the bed; IIRC. Have only bottomed out once... and I was pushing it down the road pretty good. I'll recheck my measurements tonight.

Re: looking for photos of your dropped trucks
