Ding ding ding! Buw what about TIRE size? He said he just heated the front coils, and put a drop shackle and removed a leafspring...gay way to lower it, but the stance looks nice!

I saw one here in San Antonio where they just bent a kink into the leaf springs right before the rear shackle. It lowered it, and the truck looked good, but I would hate to actually have to drive it.

Nope, it's just the camera angle. He's running 275/60 15 (same as OCBaud) and his fenders were RIGHT at the tops of the tire (which is the same as OCBaud). My camera was at a LOW angle, so it looks higher than it actually was.

No matter what the drop, he needs to watch out for shopping carts!

i'd say his drop is nowhere near what he thinks it is. here's a pic of mine with 235 75 15s on it that measured just under 28.25" and a 2.5/4 drop.

I think he's guessing what he's got. No way for him to know for sure what it is, unless he measured it before and after. I say it's more like a 2/4 drop myself, if that much.

No way a shackle and removing a leaf will lower it 4" anyway.

8t5 silverado, if your truck looks like mine, you've got some serious reassembling to do.
