My truck fell off the jacks....... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**72afr** · 03-14-2004, 11:58 PM

....but it had a soft landing. After a days worth of work, the truck has a 2.5/3 drop and inner fenders. i was wondering if an adjustable trac bar is necessary with this drop?
thanks for any responses

Looks great with the drop and the truck sure is clean!!

krue · 03-15-2004, 12:16 AM

Good looking truck you got there.

griesel72 · 03-15-2004, 12:20 AM

very nice, when's the bed going on?

**72afr** · 03-15-2004, 12:26 AM

not soon enough, hopefully within the next few weeks

**72afr** · 03-15-2004, 12:32 AM

btw, it sure makes lowering it easier without the bed and without the finished exhaust

cdowns · 03-15-2004, 12:36 AM

LOOKS GOOD !!
yes you should go to an adjustable panhard bar

**lolife99** · 03-15-2004, 12:41 AM

**72afr** · 03-15-2004, 12:45 AM

white68chevy · 03-15-2004, 04:32 AM

Just wondering and i am not trying to be smart but on the pictures board you said it was a 2.5/4 drop and here its a 2.5/3. did it get another inch taken out or a typo just wondering. It looks great either way.

Blue Beard · 03-15-2004, 10:21 AM

Nice looking truck....

Was expecting to see before and after pics of it falling off the stands...

**Yukon Jack** · 03-15-2004, 02:11 PM

Very nice truck!

1IR872 · 03-15-2004, 02:59 PM

Looks really good! Great job.

68speedalert · 03-15-2004, 04:06 PM

white68chevy,

numberoneson must have tired when he posted the pictures post. It is a 2.5/3 inch drop.

Blue Beard,

We almost could have had that pic.....taking out the rear upper spring mount bolts with a large ratchet, just about pulled the dang thing off the rear jack stands!!

Thanks for the words of encouragment everyone. 72afr is really excited about his truck and this site!

...Can't wait to see it with the bed installed. Is it a step or fleet side bed?
