Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i am still in the build process on these hopefully into production by June or July , and i expect them to end up in the same range as the current ones around $559, and they will bolt in the factory bolt locations ! nothing for the back yet !

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Doesn't that bust your nuts when it's a long piece with many bends in it? I hate that when it happens!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
How much lower can you go? Arent you laying frame front and rear? AND... if you do the body drop wont you have to redo the chanel for the drive shaft?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I have done it on mine. There is alot of things I did not think of before, but for you the most important thing to consider is will Slosh Tubz still work? If you drop the body 3/4 of an inch will you still have clearance?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I don't know if I agree with the bdrop...I love the stance on your ride as it is now and don't see the need for any more drop. However, it would be just another damn awesome thing to add to the list that's on this ride...
