Re: Hi all - Project Ginger Has Begun

Welcome to the forum.

The second pic you posted has me drooling, any idea what the drop is on that and how? Did they use drop spindles and/or springs? Springs and/or blocks on the rear? And finally, what are the front and rear tire sizes?

I absolutely love the rake and stance on that truck !!!

Not sure what the drop is but the previous owner told me it was a spring drop only. After pulling things apart I think in the rear it's 2 inch blocks and 5 inch springs. Up front I'm not sure but looks to me like maybe 6 inches or so with the springs cut. No drop spindles! Also the bump stops are cut clean off so it was metal to metal front and rear.

My plan is to keep the rear the same but raise the front a little. I really like it a little more level myself.

In front I will go PB control arms with 2.5 inch drop spindles and 2 inch springs then if it is to high cut a half coil or so.

He had 15x8 235/60R15 front and 15x10 275/60R15! The rear fender is rolled slightly though.

I would like to try to get 20s under it but not sure if they will fit. If not it'll be 18x8 and 18x10.
