4.5/6 ECE drop
20x8.5 front
20x10 rear

This was a decent amount of work for your at home no lift shade tree mechanic. The parts from ECE were top notch but every single stock 40 y/o part fought me from the word go...lol

I couldn't be happier with the stance....

BB72CHEVKT · 09-20-2010, 01:40 PM

What an amazing difference. I can not wait to get mine installed.

MAK191 · 09-20-2010, 01:46 PM

Looks great!

What size tires are you running?

Keith Seymore · 09-20-2010, 01:48 PM

heh heh; yeah, baby!

Lee H · 09-20-2010, 01:53 PM

Very nice!

Deggs · 09-20-2010, 02:03 PM

Nice truck, perfect drop.

**lolife99** · 09-20-2010, 02:07 PM

Looks BEAUTIFUL!
The stance and wheels changed your truck completely.
What brand wheels are those?

Your truck turned out awesome!

72BlckButy · 09-20-2010, 04:39 PM

It's amazing what an attitude adjustment (lowering) and a set of new shoes (wheels/tires) can do for a truck. Still can't believe how nice this turned out.

I call it an altitude adjustment! Looks great, Totally different truck..I'm sure it rides and drives a ton better too!

yes sir....

Seem there not super easy to find at least in CA. I called my guy and he said the warehouse was real low. I was still a tad torn but pulled the trigger based on your reccomendation.

They look perfect and the tread pattern is cool

I got all 4 mount/balance for $730 otd. Seemed like a decent deal

67chevy1series · 09-20-2010, 05:40 PM

It rides a ton better than before. Truck was always spongy due to the dead shocks/old springs. Its now firm but flat and smooth and actually seems like it will handle.

Alignment is scheduled for wednesday AM.
