Stock stance vs lowered truck stance pictures - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got some pictures comparing my truck to a stock height truck. Thought you guys might want to see the difference.

Stance web page.
Here is an edited version of one picture. Cars were just taking up to much away from the trucks. :d

Hey G. Great comparison shot there. You know something about that grille conversion to the side by side lights versus the stacked lights that gives it the look of a truck that's been sectioned. Who needs a car when you can have a truck sitting that low? You have a 4/6 drop, right? Also, what type of wheels are those? No one around here is running those. Boog.

My bad. I just now viewed the stance page with the drop info. You got that much drop with the spindle, hanger/shackle combo? So the ride has to be close to the factory feel, right? Boog.

Boog,

The ride was pretty much stock until I added traction bars. The ride is a little more rough unless I have some added weight in the back. The stance is pretty low on the front because of the worn out springs and 235/60R15 tires. The front tires are about 1" shorter than the 26 inch 255/60R15 tires on the back. I guess the overall drop with tires is about 3.5 front and 5.5 in the back. The removal of the leaf spring and shorter tires contribute to the 4" shackel/hanger combo.
