Low Enough
I think I have reached an impass for a static drop. Scrub line? What scrub line?
I will be thinking of a better wheel/tire combo now. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Low Enough
5 1/2 inch drop with 245/60/15 tires on 8 inch truck rallys.
McGaughy drop spindles, CPP 3 inch spring, and Performance Online tubular upper control arms. Right now, the tie rods aren't connected and that control arm is shimmed to death (so I wont lose them). With the control arms being extended, I don't think there will be an issue aligning the front end. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Low Enough
That thing sits as low as my Corvette. How much clearance does the oil pan have?
Gonna look sweet when done.

Re: Low Enough
I would suggest just exchange out your 3 inch drop spring for a 2 inch drop spring and it'll keep them tires new and you won't have any alignment issues. I see 3 inch springs on Craigslist all day long probably due to the same issue that you have going on.
