Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
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.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
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.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
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? ![]()

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
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.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
Thanks everyone. Gotta re do the front suspension and it has been a pain figuring what parts to use but this forum and its members have been a big help.
