Request 3/5 drop photos on a Stepside swb. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CST10 · 10-13-2014, 05:59 PM

Does anyone have some photos of a 3/5 drop with springs only on a Stepside swb truck? Any issues with this such as alignment or ride? Please include your tire/wheel info too. Thanks for your help. I'm undecided on how low to go without spindles and notching the frame. If anyone has a 2/4 static drop send those photos too.

Anybody?

I'd be interested in seeing these too, a non-notched static drop will be coming soon on my 72

Here ya go. CPP springs front and rear with CPP rear shock relocators. Wheel vintiques 15x8 steelies with 275 60r15 all around. No tire wear, rubbing or bottoming issues

That's one sweet ride ya got there. That's the size tire I was planning on 15 X 8 rally wheels. I kinda like those wheels us got there. How much were they and where did ya get them from.

**WIDESIDE72** · 10-15-2014, 09:14 PM

I got them from Summit Racing for $79 each. I had $50 in Summit Bucks and they had free shipping last Christmas. I had rallys on it before but wanted the cleaner look. The hub caps are oem 67 chevelle.

Thanks for that info. I like those wheels you put on. I think they look better than standard rally wheels too.

CST10 · 10-15-2014, 09:27 PM

What is your backspacing on those new wheels. They look like a perfect to the fender edge fit.

CST10 · 10-16-2014, 09:03 PM

Anybody else got some photos?

**WIDESIDE72** · 10-19-2014, 09:27 AM
