Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
I'm sure it will on big bumps, there's probably 2" or a little less between the axle and the frame. I only live a few miles from the shop we worked in but it didn't bottom out on the drive home. I'll have a notch kit when I get home today that will go in. My brakes were acting up on the way home, not sure what changed in the brakes yet, so I didn't drive it too hard to see if it would hit.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
Here's my drop, 2.5" drop spindle and 2" coil drop up front. Back is 4" lower coils. Pretty much offsets the large 22" rims. Sits more or less stock height of 31" to the fender.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
Before (bottom) and After (top) with 2.5" drop spindles in front, 3" lowering springs in rear, fresh shocks all around and a sbc350/th400 swap. Only took me about 2 years!
New tires are same outside diameter, wheels went from 15" to 17"

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
Seriously considering selling all the gravel I've scraped up with it and bagging it with the proceeds.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
True, it is low, and it probably won't be that low in the front. I'll be running exhaust manifolds, so there's no worry about headers hitting the pavement.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
I have a 62 chevy coil converted on the front with about the same drop. Do you have any issues with the 255s up front?
