Need help lowering my '68 swb !!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Crispyr1 · 02-23-2014, 10:27 PM

I'm currently stationed in Japan and I left the truck in the states. I want to start getting the parts together to get the job done. I was thinking a 4" drop in the front and a 6" drop in the rear. I don't have disk brakes but want to convert to the five lug disk as well. What do I need to get the job done right, and most cost efficiently. Thanks in advance guys!!!!!

Does anyone have a pic of their truck with a 4,6 drop?

Pretty common drop. Although this one is a 4.5" (2" springs/2.5" on the spindles) and 6"...Shock and shock relocator kit. Adj. pan-hard bar. No c-notch. All ECE. No problems.

Are those 20" wheels?

Yeah. 20 x 8.5's in front and 20 x 10's in the back with 1.25" spacers in the back and 1" in the front.

That's because Boss had ****ty backspacing when I bought these. Not sure if that's fixed. But that's
a whole different (really-really long) thread!

First - Thank you for your service to our country

Second - When you have some time I'd be glad to help you get it done, as I am sure some of the TN locals would too. There are some really good and talented guys around the area, we'll get you fixed up. When will you be back in TN ?

My truck is in New Mexico, with my brother until I return. I will hopefully be back around Nov.
