Belltech 2" coils and 2.5" Spindles
Can some one out there do me a favor and measure from the center of your front rim to the lip of the fender? I installed 2" drop coils and 2.5" spindles and it doesnt seem to be as low as i thought. If you have a stock height truck that you'd be willing to measure too that would help or if you have a truck dropped similar to mine.... or what i wanted it to be
My truck is a 1972 Chevy C10 This is not my truck Last edited by dhpenner; 08-31-2010 at 12:34 AM. |

Re: Belltech 2" coils and 2.5" Spindles
If your front springs were stock, originals, they may have been sagging and worn out. That would in turn make it look like it didn't lower it as much as you planed. In other words you may have gotten the 4.5" you were looking for, just not from where you were before you installed the parts. I hope that's not too confusing.

Re: Belltech 2" coils and 2.5" Spindles
Lets see some pics...
I'm sure you know that truck is bagged and close to a 7/10+ drop I would imagine when compared to a static drop. You will never get that low with springs and spindles.

I just ran out and measured my stock truck and its 20" from the center of the wheel to the fender lip.

Can anybody pull a similar measurement for the rear fender/axle? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it should be about the same as a 2wd Blazer.
