How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66 - Page 12 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey Polaris,

The "rule of thumb" is anything over 4 inches should be notched. I'll post up a couple of pictures soon, but I just completed a 4 inch coil drop and my spacing is fine. However, if I were to go any lower, I'd definitely notch the frame.

Thanks for the replies, that pretty much answered my question. Since I'm gonna have the box off it over the winter, I'm thinkin it'd be a smart time to go ahead with the notches. Thanks again!!!

This is at 5-1/2" in the front and 6-1/2" in the rear as measured from the floor to underside of main frame rails directly below front and rear cab mounts.

I have gone through this thread and see a lot of cool trucks.
There is a lot of hard work showing in those photos. Nice job guys.
What I am wondering is where are the photos of the suspensions?
I am specifically looking to find information on coil over front and rear static suspensions.
I was going to do air springs but can't find a system that has a single set ride height as I do not want to have a variable system.
So I was thinking a static coil over system would be best for what I am doing.
Does anyone know if there is anything available on static coil over suspensions and if so where?

65shortbox · 12-24-2012, 01:34 AM

Durg's is static drop ridetech coil over. Check his thread, GREAT work on his truck.

17x7 on 225/60-17s in the front, 18x8 on 255/55-18s in the rear.

I love the look and it actually rides pretty good.
