Dropped '86 LWB....(QUESTION) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys i was wondering if somebody could tell me just how much it will lower my truck if I pull coil springs in the front and chop off 1 full coil and put on some 2 1/2" drop spindles, and then run a flip kit in the rear....

I was told it would be bout a 4" front drop and a 6" rear drop....

2 1/2" drop spindles and 1 full coil cut off in front = 4"
Rear flip kit (NO C-NOTCH and NO BUMP STOPS) = 6"

A full coil cut is good for about 2" of drop, so combined with the drop spindles you'd be at approximately 4 1/2" up front. And depending on how many leaves are in your rear leaf packs you would see between 5"-6".
