Rear- 4' lowering springs with 2' drop blocks, 6' total







A super nice truck!!!!! If you get bored down the road later, a little more two toning (white or maybe a light silver-ish) would take this truck to another level!
But, it looks fantastic either way!!!

Thanks man. I actually really wanted to find a white truck, but this was pretty much exactly what I wanted...short bed, big window, non-step side, V8... and at the right price. I think the PO was trying to match a stock GM color, but as you can see in the pics it's not, this is exactly how it looks in person. And if I had my choice I wouldn't have put so much metallic for the charcoal interior.

I'm still super stooked on it!!!!!

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.

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

It's the same in both pictures, I had completed the suspension, then disassembled and painted the truck this winter.

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

Love the whole truck actually.

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.
