dropping my truck

[canadian 4x4]

I have an 85 swb Chev. i am looking at a 5/7 drop. my truck has 275/60/15 tires all around. i want to keep the 15" rallies. i assume these tires are to big for the front end. what size tire is recommended? i have heard you have to trim the lca to keep the 15' rim, this is fine. does anyone have a pic of how much has to be trimmed? which brand kit is preferred? is a 2.5 spindle 2.5 shock a better set up than a 3 in spindle 2" spring? i have read that 3" springs are not recommended due to ride, so i will stay away from those. any more info or opinions from people who have 5/7 drops is appreciated. if there is any other major complications with this setup? this truck is a weekend cruiser.

truck looks wicked! what kit did you use? you have 235 70 all around? did you have to trim the lca?

[school boy]

2.5 spindles no, mcgaughys all the way around. the springs i dont know though. and yes, all tires are 235/70/15 with no trimming required

Looks like a clean truck, and would look sweet lowered! Let us know if we can help you out with the components. We carry McGaughys.

A 2.5" spindle, 2" spring up front, with a flip kit would give you a nice stance.

I have 2.5" spindles with 2" springs up front, and a flip kit in the back.
If I did it again, i would only use 1" springs up front to eliminate the rake, and give my big balloon tires more clearance to the inner fenders.
