Re: Pics for Sid 138

Thanks for the compliments, the drop is 2.5" drop spindles with 1" out of the spring in the front, in the rear I cheated and heated the springs. Tires are 255/60-15 frt, 275/60-15 rr, I added a swaybar from a 3/4 ton in the front and it handles pretty good.

Cool, how did you achieve the extra 1" drop on the front? Cut 1/2 of a coil?

And did you by chance measure the distance of space between the rear tires and fenders before and after? I'm guessing around 4 or 5" drop in the rear?
