mine is dropped like 6/5 or 5.5/6, bought it this way, its got quite a bit of rake, need a c-notch before i can go lower
front drop spindles - not sure either 3" or 2.5" front coils - i believe theyre just chopped orig coils yes front has negative camber despite the **** load of shims on the upper control arm. this is probably the reason no one suggests going lower than 5' up front without bags. rear 1.5" blocks 3.5" eibach coils i believe. adjustable tracking bar doestch tech shocks all around, despite the cut coils up front and major slam up front, the truck rides like a cadillac, rides better than my 01 blazer did stock, go figure |

As a matter of fact . . . it's possible I might be selling either the original frame from my 67 or the extra unrestored straight 67gmc/leaf rolling chassis I recently acquired. My original frame has been stripped/sand-blasted, primed w/DP90 epoxy primer; the trailing arm crossmember has been boxed w/5" holes punched for exhaust clearance; trailing arms welded+ new relocated shock mounts(frame is currently set-up for coilovers & some welding was done after priming so it needs repriming).
My goal when purchasing the gmc frame was to incorporate all the changes I've done to the original frame all @ once for a cleaner/more professional look on a fresh frame & switch to a 4-link to resolve trailing arm to frame clearance issues for the ride height I want. But I've been busy @ work & @ my buddies part-time shop they've been tied-up w/a chassis car resulting in the gmc frame just sitting in the driveway on the trailer( I'm sure the neighbors would like to see it go). I will make a decision by end of Aug. Undecided on any pricing @ this time though.

DONE WRONG
PO I guess did this. Heated the springs and roasted the ride... but I do like the stance... I will try and get close when I do the frame off starting very soon.
