Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
 Here's my 91, I'd like to get another front valence and 15x10 wheels for the rear. I'd also like to swap the old 4.3 for a newer 5.3 but that's a ways off still. |

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
So many nice trucks in this thread...but for my taste, the two Justins have my favorites. JWall's indigo 98, and Justin36's black 98. So simple, so clean, so perfect. Here's mine - same idea, but just a 3"/4" drop, so not as low:

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
1995 5.7 Silverado pkg, Belltech; spindles, springs, mini notch, etc, 230k miles on it all.. It was lowered when I bought it in '04, I've always assumed 4/6, maybe 5/6-7? I can't run stock 235/75R15, these 215/75R15's whitewalls/steelies are as tall as I can go w/out rubbing inner fenders, they came with my '72 Beauville/Sportvan and are just temps until I decide what's next, It'll be rally wheels or 15" Centerlines. I've always ran the 5-star stocks or steelies. It looked near mint when I got it, but I lost interest in keeping it immaculate when the factory white started falling off about 6 years ago, so the top half is spray bombed, it's a little beat up from getting passed around the family as a loaner(something I'll NEVER do again). I just removed the "silverado" strips, but I miss them and will probably order more to have ready when she finally gets a respray in a couple years (I have several projects). I'll never sell it..
I've always wanted to bag it, but photoshop will have to do until I come up on a dually.. |

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks
Thanks man, Just bottoming out, shocks don't seem to be fully extending out, and I believe I might have installed the lead spring backwards. Left rear tire is more to the back while the right rear tire is up the front

Re: Show lowered 88-98 trucks

I don't have a build thread. Wish I would have done one. I learned a lot from this site about the swap. http://www.gmtruckcentral.com/articles/t56.html I think for the small blocks it is a lot easier than for the big block. The hardest things to find were the clutch/brake pedal and a steering column for a manual. For my truck it definitely made it more drivable than it was with the TH400. Haven't been able to drive it a lot yet as I'm trying to solve a boost leak but I'm hoping I can get between 15-20mpg cruising with the new setup. Before it was 8mpg no matter how I drove it. |
