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.....

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.

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?

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!

The TJ Jeep rear springs brought mine down a full 4" in the rear and I cut 2 coils off of stock fronts

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.

trucks looking good txrat.

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 hate to bug you but I have to ask what you think about the rear tank conversion - given you are on the road with a similar drop to what I've got on my truck ( 5 1/2 front - 6 rear).

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

First pic is where I started on Saturday, and second pic is where I ended up.

1st one is all spring 3/5 drop.

2nd one is with 5/5 drop with 2" spindles added up front.

[j3564wost]

Just got the bed back on to see the actual stance with the drop. 3/5 cpp coils.
