Re: static drop pics

Thanks for the comment. Don't have any more pics at this time, it's at my buddy's shop where we are installing the motor. Tires are 245/40/20 and 295/35/20

Edit. I have these, but in this set the 2" blocks aren't installed in the rear.

So does it have a motor in it in the pics?

Re: static drop pics



4.5/6 from ECE

20x8.5
20x10

I would love to go an extra inch all the way around to really set off the looks but I think it will be a mistake for as much as I drive the truck. It rides really nice right now and I have only scrubbed the inner fenders once on a big freeway bump and only hit the axel on the frame twice going over train tracks.

Not to mention I am going to add LT headers and I think I will end up dragging the collectors.

You have to trim the lower a-arms.
(gind a small amount off the lower a-arm lip)

Mine has 3" drop springs and 2.5" drop spindles up front.
6" rear drop spring with a 1.5" lowering block.

You nailed the stance! Looks Perfect!!! Thats exactly how I want mine to look but green.
How bad does the tires scrub?
How did you do the 5 lug swap on the rear? conversion axles or swap to newer housing?
What brand are the parts you used? ECE? CPP?
Sorry for all questions.

Cool Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Here is mine.

3" up front with coils and 4" out back with coils and added air bags inside springs to make it ride better.
Wheels are 20" all around. 8 1/2" wide fronts, 10" out back with a 3/8" spacer.

It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
