6 inch drop on 67 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ont67shortbox · 06-06-2008, 09:54 AM

I want to drop my 67 4 1/2 in front and 6 inches in the back.I have the drop spindles,coils,shocks for the front,and the drop coils/shocks, and ECC super panhard bar and shock relocators for the back. Is there any thing I am missing or any concerns/problems I may encounter before I start.Thanks in advance

Sounds like you have it covered. Some people run a c-notch with a 6" drop but I haven't had a problem yet without one.

Good luck, Rg

Sounds like a complete list, from what i've read you won't need a c-notch. But i have heard that you might hit the bumpstops on large bumps and if you plan on loading up the bed it might bottom out on you.

Just like mentioned above, but it sounds like you have all the bases covered. lolife99 is running this setup on his Blazer, and hasn't ran across any issues yet. This is actually the same setup I plan on running on my '72.

Good luck with the install, but remember.................... we love pics!!!!
