Thanks! With out cutting the front drop springs it sat perfectly level. But with the round wheel wheels, visually it appeared to be lower in the rear. By cutting a half coil, it dropped about an inch, giving it just a little bit of rake. I my opnion it was well worth the extra effort.

Thanks. No idea what the total drop is. Completely forgot to measure it. Its on cut springs all around. Relocated shock mounts and pie cut upper control arms up front. Small C notch and 2" drop blocks out back.

In truth it rides really nice but the suspension is almost maxed out up front. You can feel it on big bumps. Gonna have to come back up a little.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
I found this truck that has a good stance.

Would any one know if it belongs to a forum member?
Or could tell me wheels and tire size info?
Or looks bagged, so info on that?

Thanks

That looks way too low to be a ststic drop. The back -maybe, but the front would require major modification.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66


Here's mine all in primer now. 4-6 drop. I'm going to have to notch the rear as it bottoms out on hard bumps.

I love that stance. Could you share some details on your suspension and tire/wheel sizes?

Love the whole truck actually.

Love the whole truck actually.

I used 2 1/2" dropped spindles and 2" dropped spring with one coil removed and the rear I used a 5" dropped spring with a 1" lowering block, Gabriel shocks for an 1981 El Camino all the way around.

Front tires are 215/75/15 on a 15x7 rim
Rear tires are 255/70/15 on a 15x8 rim

Thank you and I hope this helps.....

Beautiful!

Mine is the exact same shad of red,but yours is newer and nicer of course! My accent stripes are silver,my wheels are Coy's,and I have front bumper guards too. Upon first looking I did a big double take though.
