I love the low.
Is the combo?:
Front: 2.5" spindle. 3" coil.
Rear" 5" coil, 2" blocks.
No c notch?

Thanks, I'd love that look for myself. I just need to swap front coils and put in a bigger rear drop block.

Yes to the questions above but I do have the C notch also. I bought the CPP's Grand Slam kit. I'm running Chevy Van rallys, 6 1/2" in the front and 15 8 truck rallys in the rear. Tires are 225/70 front and 275/60 rear.

Is your truck equivalent
to a C10 or C20?

Re: Static Dropped 67-72 Post your pics!

What are you guys using for a 4/6 drop on your coil spring trucks these days? I'm asking because the ECE 4/6 drop was so popular and is no longer available?

Re: Static Dropped 67-72 Post your pics!

This is how mine sits on 15's. I have a 6 inch drop spring in the rear with a 3 inch up front and a 2.5 inch drop spindle. I sit at around 28.5 in the front and 29 in the rear from the ground to the highest section of the arch of the wheel well.

I'm curious about that too. Seems like the consensus before they closed was that ECE was the best and all the rest are just meh.

I used CPP for my 2.5” Spindles, 2” Springs and 4” rear Drop Springs back in 2015. They have fine ever since.

Re: Static Dropped 67-72 Post your pics!

Not much a picture but it's all I got. 4" drop leaf springs, 2.5" drop spindles with stock height front coils. The body is level. I don't care to know the size tire, because they'll be replaced. What tires I'm not sure yet, recommendations welcome. The wheels are 8/15".

Not sure what a "static drop" is, so maybe mine has no "static".

Re: Static Dropped 67-72 Post your pics!

I think static is just lowering with springs and such, not on air bags.
