Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s

2/4 drop (springs and shackles) w/ 275/60/15 all around. I think I need to put OG springs back on and get 3" spindles.

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s

My clear coat peeling peach! Current build project. It has 2.5 spindles and 1 coil cut, and rear flip. 15x8 up front and 15x10 in the rear. Installing a 5.3/4L80E with 76mm turbo and retaining the A/C. Going to wait until all of the weight is back on the front end before deciding whether or not more cutting of the front spring will be required.

Very nice trucks, glad to see some running around that don't have the 20's and 22's on them.

Re: static dropped square bodies with 15s

SWB85, I really like the look of your 4/4 drop and may have to get 2" spindles to go along with my 2" springs!

Does anyone make a 2" spindle???
