6/5 drop
Trying to get everything I need to do a 5/5 drop on my 87, and the coils I bought from a buddy are 3". He for some reason thought they were 2". So now I have 3" springs, 3" spindles and a 5" flip kit. I'd like to see some pics of others with this much drop and also what size tires work best on 8" front and 10" rear truck rallies. Thanks

Re: 6/5 drop
short tires in the front help. once the tire gets to the top of the wheel opening is about the time you get your tires rubbing when you hit a bump while turning hard. i burned the paint off the top of my inners

Re: 6/5 drop
Put the 3" coils in. See how it rides. Could put a 1" spacer under the spring if it rubs too bad.

Re: 6/5 drop
If it were me I would sell the 3" springs and buy new 2" or cut the stock coil. I have never talked to anyone that liked 3" drop springs combined with spindles on a 73-87.
