Nice ride, nice stance!!!!!!!

farside847 · 10-28-2005, 04:33 PM

looks smoooth.

case_bt · 10-28-2005, 05:20 PM

It rides great but anything rides better than 35 year old springs it was also the easiest job I've done it took me about 1.5 hrs would have took less if I didn't have to break off the old rear retainer bolts.The last suspension job i did was on my buds 99 tahoe 4x4 it took about 16 hrs those ifs 4x4s are a pain

tomatocity · 10-28-2005, 05:34 PM

Great stance. I plan on doing the same and have a few questions.
* Is this a coil/coil or coil/leaf truck?
* Did you measure the ride height before and after? Just wondering if the advertised drop is what you get.
* Did you use 3" drop coils or drop spindles plus drop springs?
* Do you have a C-notch's frame?

jhwkns · 10-28-2005, 07:32 PM

Looks Great.. What size are the tires?

86swb · 10-28-2005, 07:56 PM

Thanks for the info. To clarify somethings.
* You say you are not using a panhard bar but you have one? If you are not using a panhard bar how do you keep the rearend from moving side to side?
* You are not using a frame notch. Do you ever bottom out while driving over the same bump that causes to headers to scrape?

DIFFERENT SUBJECT
* What headers and style are you using that scrape while driving over speed bumps?

Your truck sure looks nice with that stance.

case_bt · 10-31-2005, 06:12 PM

let me explain I'm still using the stock pan hard i have a new adjustable one i havn't installed yet I have not bottomed out the rear yet. The headers are just regular full lenght I want to change them out and re run my exhaust up into the frame I never liked it hanging below. I heard chevelle headers will clear better.

**Canadian694x4** · 10-31-2005, 08:21 PM

Looks Great...Well Done!!

Z28Owner · 10-31-2005, 08:35 PM

I have 2.5 spindles and 2 inch drop springs and yours looks as low as mine. I also have 275/60 and LT's but I havent hit anything with them. been driving about a month.

hello everyone truck looks good. i have a 67 with five inch lowered springs on rear and two and half spindles on front i,m waiting to install motor and trans before cutting front coils my question is what did you do about shocks

I went with summit 2 inch drop truck shocks, there reboxed Toxic shocks.

case_bt · 11-01-2005, 05:33 PM

I have not replaced my shocks yet ill probably go with the summit ones too

70c10 · 11-01-2005, 07:52 PM

Nice stance!. Where did you buy the springs?

case_bt · 11-03-2005, 02:23 PM

Local classic chevy truck shop in spring texas outback truck parts

panhandler62 · 11-03-2005, 02:29 PM

Looks great.. so.. if I got all this... that is nothing more than replacing 4 springs to do that?

kbs71 · 11-05-2005, 12:57 AM

I live just a couple of miles from you. What color is that? Is it the origional Aqua? Does it have metal flake in it. A couple of your other posts it looks like there may be some metal flake in the paint.
I deal with Outback a lot too.

phantom dually · 11-05-2005, 01:29 AM

case_bt · 11-30-2005, 02:33 PM
