Pictures of ride height and suspension on trucks

Guys,
Can we compile a thread here to show some suspension pics of our trucks? Things that should be included:
- side shot of your truck
- What year your truck is
- Which clip you used up front or aftermarket ifs
- Front and rear ride height of truck
- If it's subframed, How far forward did you move your front wheelbase
- What rear suspension you used and how much or what type of c-notch if needed

I'm trying to find the best look for my truck as far as suspension goes. I will be using a camaro subframe on mine and 4-link out back. I'm sure a lot of other members would love to see some of this information compiled for other setups, reason for asking for what setup you have.

Now bring on the pics guys!! Ready to see these bad a$$ trucks!!

Re: Pictures of ride height and suspension on trucks

Sure there are lots if you search but;
55 Chevy 2nd. 76 Fbird clip 1 1/2" stretch front. Heidts front control arms, shocks, etc 1" narrow per side. Art Morrison 4 bar/coilovers rear 3" notch. At ride ht., 5 1/2 front rocker at door gap. 24 1/2" rear fender opening. I put the clip lower rail ON the lower rail of the stock frame, inside, not under it like some(HAMB) so my ride ht. is about as low as it happens and this is the first time I've seen it with the front fenders, etc. on and I like the stance, even though probably a little low for some.
