Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
Kind of all around. Most noticeably in 3rd. I have a 4 speed with granny low, so i start in second, which is a bit rougher feeling, but 3rd is awful. 4th isnt too bad, but still not like it use to be. When I let off in 4th going around 35 or so, it sounds like something is rubbing. Been under and checked, no ssigns of either driveshaft rubbing on anything.....

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 59-60-66
I confused is that second photo with the 5/7 drop already done or is that photoshoped? If that is a 5/7 drop I hope you do not have any pot holes or speed bumps in your town. It must be photoshop because you have no frame rail behind your back tire only grass. That looks lower than 5/7.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
I've got a stock set of front springs and a set of jeep tj springs for the rear. How many coils do I need to cut off the stock fronts to make my truck sit level with jeep springs in the rear?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
Forest, that's a photoshopped pic. I know I won't be sitting that low but just got everything ordered from Sid so I'm excited. She should be done in about a month.
Apologies for posting on here, just realized it wasn't for 59's but it's a great forum! MR |

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
The TJ Jeep rear springs brought mine down a full 4" in the rear and I cut 2 coils off of stock fronts

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
I cut 1 1/2 off of the front of mine with the tj springs in the rear. it still has a little rake but I had to cut the bump stops off the front or they would hit. The front still has good suspension but the back has almost none. I can't put anything in the back without it bottoming out. My bike makes the truck totally bottom out and that was one of the main reasons I lowered it. I have some load leveling bags that I plan to install but I'd "splurge" and buy the real lowering springs for the rear if I had it to do over again.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
Anyone have a pic of a 2-3 drop? Got a set of 3" rear springs coming, and thinking about ordering some 2" for the front.

I just finished mocking it up on my 62 C10 and would like to know more before I proceed with eliminating tank in cab. 9 1/2 inches to the ground with body off seems close - likely clearance issues for actual drivability. Thank you - rg |
