Doing that to this one next. Currently coils cut way too far and 6" drop springs in back.

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.

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".

Re: Static Dropped 67-72 Post your pics!
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.

Re: Static Dropped 67-72 Post your pics!
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!
The body is rougher than a night in jail right now but I fabricated a rear flip kit, used square body u-bolts, and made the leaf spring plate out of some 1/4" steel plate i had laying around. The front is square body suburban desiel springs with 2 coils cut off. Wheels are factory 8" rally's with 275/60/15 on the rear and 255/70/15 on the front. It's a work in process and started from the frame up on it.

Re: Static Dropped 67-72 Post your pics!
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.

Re: Static Dropped 67-72 Post your pics!
So mine is "kind" of a 4.5" /6" drop. I'm running 2.5" drop spindles with 2" drop springs in the front. But due to the LS1 it's more like 4" drop. Rear is 4" drop springs and 2" blocks. Running 20" wheels all around. Speedway springs. Bell Tech shocks.
