These are nice trucks but hey don't even look lowered, definitely not 5/7 drops!

Spindles, springs and shocks came from ECE.

Note the tires on the TT wheels were staggered. The Torque Thrusts are gone now, but I think the tires were 275/40/17 rear and 255/40/17 rear.

The white wall tires in the second pic are all the same size.

Goldilocks has 215/75/15 fronts and 255/70/15 rears. Rear tires bout 1-3/8" taller to give it that ol school rubber rake, reminds me if what was running round back in the day. Also helps the cruisin rpm with 3.73 rear gears.

You could go 225/75/15 on the front but would only be about 3/4" rake. But it would slightly fill the wheel wells better.

Stock 69 rear diff and the wheels are 20x8.5 fronts with 4.5 off set and 20x10 rear with 5.5 off set from Chris Cottington Hot Rods by Boyds series JR5.

When you say offset you mean backspacing?

72blackbuty, LOVE the white along the bottom of yours, amkes me ant to shoot some white on mine. NICE TRUCK !!

Do they make control arms for our trucks or did you put arms made for something else on it? There website doesn't really give any info on control arms.

683/4farm · 09-15-2016, 05:12 PM

seems like a few of these pictures that have 5/7 drop with 15" wheels that some are way low and some are not so much that there is major difference with just looking at it, any reasons why?

fast&low · 09-15-2016, 05:32 PM

Some are done the right way & some are not some people buy drop springs some people cut their existing springs that may or may not be worn out (sagging)
Never go by another mans drop his spring may or may not be as good as the one you're using a cheap spring may be labeled 1 1/2 inch drop & give you a 2" drop.
And another thing on a DD I wouldn't recommend a 5/7 drop unless where you live they have really good streets. I'm in Houston,TX so that's a big no-no for me.
Hope that helped

hardwaycooke · 09-15-2016, 06:32 PM

was 5.75 front and 7 rear
--due to extra weight from blower is now 3.5 front/7 rear but sits almost as low in front as before...

Just completed ECE 4/6 Drop with Coy's C-5 235/55R17 4.5" B/S on front and 255/55R18 rear 5" B/S

mosel70 · 12-23-2016, 12:28 PM

'70, original 402, ps/on/ac. I put on CPP front 2 1/2" drop spindles disc brakes with tubular upper/lower arms. No change in front springs or shocks. Rear has coils only, put on CPP 3" drop coils. Plenty of room underneath, thinking of going to 4" or 5".
