anyone have a 2/4 or 3/4 drop? looking for a leveled lowered stance.

im looking for a lowered but level stance for my 79swb. i dont want it too low though. im not too fond of the 5 inch drop in the rear, its just too low for me. i will eventually be running 18's maybe 20's, but most likely 18's.

if you got any just post up some pics of 2/4 or 3/4 drops.

thanks

Mine is 2.5/4 with spindles/drop leaves. It sits level.

This pic is 2.5/0 then 2.5/4



This photo is 2.5/4.

2.5/4/bassboat

Did you put new springs in the back or rework the stock ones?

I like the 2.5/4" drop. i heard the flip kit was easier and cheaper than shackles and hangers, but flip kits drop a minimum of 5", most of the time anyway, and i just don't want that much of a drop.

well thanks for the pics.

Mine uses Western Chassis drop leaf springs in the back. They only took a couple of hours to install.

Your truck looks really good sooner84. What lowering kit are you running? I like the way the 2/4 drop looks. Also what shocks and hows the ride with lowering springs? Most people recommend going with spindles.
