I'm very excited by this, great price point and looks like an exceptional package. I saw the reference to where the wheel wells sit but what would be the approximate drop in the front and rear? I see the 2.5" drop spindles up front. Thanks for any info!

Also I got the email and catalog yesterday with the new system, quality!

Over all, it drops the truck about 4in in the front and 6in in the rear.
Glad you liked the catalog, it took us a little while to get it printed but everyone seems to be happy with the results, it seems to be a lot more user friendly.

JohnJ@RideTech · 02-17-2017, 03:01 PM

No problem at all!
The wheels are 20x9 (rough measurement) and have a 255/45/R20 tire.
The tires do rub a little bit. Probably a little too tall of a sidewall.

Can I do a static 2/ 4 drop on my 72 short box fleet 2 wheel drive 350 with out dropped spindles ?
I was told no that I need spindles because springs would be compromised is this true.
Thank you all.

Mator · 02-28-2017, 09:40 AM

There are kits out there for that lowering configuration with springs and shocks.

Thank you all.

a 2 inch spindle will give you a stock ride. a 2 inch coil will give you close to stock but handle better. either way, you can do one or the other...... and if combined it will give you 4 inches

you can do just a 2 inch spindle = best ride

you can do just a 2 inch coil = awesome ride

you can cut a loop off the stock springs and also get 2 inches = good ride

Bringing it home Day 1!
Drop spindles in front and flip kit with leaf springs in rear.

I am not home so I can't measure at the moment, but here's a photo with a 4.5" front drop.

kkari · 04-27-2017, 01:23 PM

Heres my 65 C10 5/7" drop 20x8 and 20x9.5. P245/40r20 front and P285/35R20 rear BFGs. Also has 1" rear wheel spacers to make rear farther away from the bed.

Hey Zach, I was parked right behind you guys at the All Truck Nationals a couple weekends ago in pigeon forge. Your truck looks awesome, it was one of my favorites there

Yes my truck has a small notch in the rear. Bed floor and all is original though.

66clow I know we talked before but 5 inch springs and 2 inch blocks in the rear with 3 inch springs in the front. No C notch and no problems.

First pict just with 5inch springs 2nd after adding 2 inch clocks.

Maybe its the angle of the photo but for some reason the truck pictured doesn't look low enough to have a 5/7 drop? Doesn't a 5/7 drop typically tuck the top of a 27-28 inch tall tire into the fender? What size tires are you running? Total diameter.

I thought it would have been lower too, only 3-7 drop. The 20's seem to keep it up more than I anticipated. Rocket Racing Booster 6 20x9 +0 wheels Toyo Proxes S/T 275/45 tires with Autospring Lowered 3F / 7R

I was wondering too since I'm at 5 in the rear and it is sitting pretty low with springs. Not sure if there is a difference due to the bed. Haven't looked lately at the axle spacing underneath.

Now you guys have me second guessing myself. I ordered new springs when I did this but never checked the measurement.
