That's the first truck in a long time that I've verbally exclaimed "wow!" When I saw it. Nailed the stance!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I finally lowered the front of my '86 it has some weight in the back so it dont normally sit that low, But i do plan on flipping the back. We chopped 2 coils off the springs and it lowered it 5 inches, not to shabby.. P.S. wheels are for sale, lol
I do want to add that the front of this thing sat REALLY high, we think it might have had over sized springs in it. I do plan on lowering the front more also.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
4 front and 6 back, I assume? Did you do anything besides a flip in the rear?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Yes, it is 4.5" front (2.5" spindle/2" coil) and 6" flip kit in the rear. No C-notch needed.
