I don't remember the exact numbers, but it's low. Really low.

But it looks sweet.

Re: Static drop lowering-totally lost!

I plan on dropping the front 5 and the rear about 7. With a c-notch. If i go with the 7" drop in the rear will i need a big c-notch?

Yes, that notch will work w/a ~7" rear drop (flip kit on an 8-leaf HD spring pack + drop shackles).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Static drop lowering-totally lost!

my two bits.
I did my truck the cheap way cut coils on the front for about a year. Cool for a little while but 2.5 spindles 2inch or 3inch lowering springs the way to go. I still cut of 1 coil on the 2" springs to be crazy. But I like my stuff slammed.
The rear end for me, I use my truck daily and my work is welding. I need to haul weight if its engine or metal. I would C-notch for sure. I custom made mine. It was easy. I want the rear lower to level it out but Ill live with it. 6/6 drop.

Re: Static drop lowering-totally lost!

do you have any pics of the process of lowering it such as your c-notch and your flip kit?
