Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Here is a pic of my newest addition to my fleet. It's an '87 Silverado R10.
Before:  After with 3" drop Belltech spindles and 1 cut coil and a flip kit out back. Tires are 255/70s with 15x8 rally wheels. I also had to trim the lower control arms to clear the rims.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Here are some pics of both squares side by side. The brown one is an '82 Silverado with Corvette rallies 15x8 up front and 15x10 out back with 245/60/15s and 295/50/15s BFGs. It's dropped with 3" Belltech spindles and lowered springs (heated to lower 3"/done years ago) and flip kit with straightened leafs and notched. It has helper bags out back to raise it to even it out.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Thanks, That is good info. Where did you get a "regular bump stop" and how is it different from the stock one?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
The bump stop is an Energy Suspension bump stop. It's kind of like the one in the following link:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Finally lowered my '75 Sierra. FRONT: 2.5" Mcgaughy's dropped spindles and '66 Buick LeSabre front springs with 2.5 coils removed. REAR: SpecialtyRetail axle flip brackets. Looks dope, handles better and rides nicer!
