Show lowered 88-98 trucks - Page 9 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

d-smoke · 06-08-2016, 08:14 PM

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..

Looks clean! What issues are you having?

775stepside · 06-11-2016, 01:45 PM

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

1badgmc · 06-11-2016, 02:05 PM

Did you install shock extenders and drop shocks?

775stepside · 06-11-2016, 06:06 PM

Yes I did and I moved my extenders as far down possible. I had them All the way up and the shocks completely bottomed out

Thanks! Does it rub very much? I just picked up a 98 Ext Cab with the same wheels and I'm thinking about doing a 4/6.

Hardly ever, if it does it is the tires hitting the inner fenders on big dips at highway speeds. With 4" drop in front you'd probably never hit.

And also my fenders are rolled & lower control arms are trimmed.
