Got anymore pics of your truck? It looks bad ass! How did you lower it?

[Lazy E]

Hi,ChevyFreak60 thanks!
Take a look at Chopper John's pages, he had done the lowering job on it and have posted a lot of pic's of the job. Truck handles gr8!

[Robert Haas]

3" dropped bell tech spindles, 2" shorter spring in front. re-arched the leaf springs in the rear and built a shorter shackle to get 6" out of the back.



The old hot rodder in me could not resist the "big & littles" when it came to tires so the massive rear rubber on the 17" wheels picks the rear back up quite a bit.

Haas, that is a nice looking ride with a perfect stance!!!

[Bregion]

5 in drop springs on rear. 2 1/2 in drop spindles with lowered torsion bars on front. Still a working progressed.

Looks good Bryan. Let me know how that tail gate turns out

Ultra do you have stock or drop spindles, and did you cut or remove your bump stops? Also how is the ride and could you go lower? Truck looks sweet!!!!!!! And I agree, no paint!

I was thinking of going 5" springs on my 62'.. just curious did you c notch? If not how close are you to the bump stops? Thanks

[oldskoolrules]

looks great Ultra!

Hi to everybody,cool site,newby here.I have a 66 swb fleet.I want to convert it to a 5 bolt wheel.I'am going to use a 73-87 front subframe.I don't want to change the rear end.Does anybody know what 5 bolt axles can be used in the original rear end.I'am also gonna drop it,2-3 on the front 3"on the rear.Thanks for reading.

[oldskoolrules]

Welcome phatguy, I ordered these axles from Summit MSR-A3065GMT5

Hey guys, I've got a quick question for everyone. If you have a 6" drop in the rear, do you have to the frame?

Everything I've read and the people I have talked to say that you need to notch the frame for anything lower than a 4" drop in the rear.

4" CPP springs out back and for the life of me I can't remember what I went with up front. Thinking 2" but not sure. I wish I knew so I could order lowered shocks. Anyone happen to know the stock height of the front end on a 66?

[rickywideglide]

not sure what front springs were maybe 3 inch they are ground force,rear are belltech 5 inch drop, gonna need to trim bumpstops about 1/4 inch gap up front and none in rear pretty happy with results before and after pics

It looks like you still have a good amount of tire gap between the front fender. I would say it's a 2" drop coil. With companies like CCP, they have a generic lowered shock for all their kits. A shock for a 2" drop coil and a 3" drop coil is going to be the same.

Hey thanks! No idea what the total is. It sits on trimmed drop springs up front and cut stockers with 2" blocks out back. Removed the bump stops and mounts both front and rear. Relocated the shocks up front. Pie cut the control arms. Mild C notch in the rear.

Its pretty much maxed out. I think I am going hunt for a set of Jeep springs for the rear. The rear is very "buck board-ish" right now. Front is good.
