4.5” front 4” rear drop 275/60/15 front tires 29/15/15 rear. The rear needs to be a bit Lower, but I am waiting to get new springs and shocks until I go short box next spring.

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.

Thanks for the kind words.

The cool thing even with the 4/6 drop still plenty of ground clearance compared to my previous hot rods.

Some nice looking trucks in here. Really helps out others that are looking to lower their trucks.

Re: Static Dropped 67-72 Post your pics!

How about half static? I just removed the air bags on the front of my Burban and installed CPP 2 inch drop springs. I believe have 71/72 factory spindles i.e. not dropped. The rear axle is still on bags.
