Ah, much better. Another inch in the rear. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The truck has a coil cut off the front and 4" drop coils. It needed a little more in the back. So, now with 1" lowering blocks, shock re-location, and adjustable panhard bar. Pretty pleased with the outcome.

That looks good, that's how I want mine to sit.

fastnotch89 · 05-12-2013, 07:56 PM

I ordered the 1.5 block for mine, did you get yours off ebay? BTW truck looks really good

One Big Rush · 05-12-2013, 08:13 PM

The 1.5" would be amazing. I got my stuff from Steet Machinery. He's on here and sells this stuff very reasonable. Check out the thread in the suspension section.

Nice truck! With all the suspension info, how about wheel/tire dimensions? Diameter, width, offset, etc.

One Big Rush · 05-13-2013, 08:18 PM

The wheels are 17x8 Billet Specialties Vintec. Tires are 235/60/17 in front and 275/60/17 in the rear.

Thanks guys!

Cool truck!

Evaded · 05-13-2013, 10:36 PM

So... 1 coil cut in the front and 4" drop spring in the rear with 1" block gave you that drop?

Mr Chevorlet · 05-13-2013, 10:43 PM

I think you have a good stance there. Nice looking truck.

Yes. The prior owner did the coil cut and 4" springs right before I bought the truck. The 4" springs are ccp and the part number is their 4" coil. So, I can validate the rear is the 4" plus a 1" block. Prior owner was very up front and everything checks out, so I believe the 1 coil cut in front is what he did.
