I posted my truck in here before, but I just got finished with the drop, so here it is again. 4/6 drop from western chassis. 2.5" spindles, 1.5" springs, 4" drop leafs, and 2" shackles. also installed belltech street performance shocks on all four corners. I like it, but I'm thinking about raising the rear up an inch. the shackles have two settings, 1" drop and 2" drop. What do you think?

80FOUR · 07-02-2008, 11:30 PM

I'd say drop the rear another inch. Loose the rake!

GMBowtie79 · 07-02-2008, 11:34 PM

Lower, lower Go down another 1"-2". Thats just my $.02.

That looks great! Did you do the job at the base?
When are we going to meet?

I sure wouldn't raise it. I think they look best with just a slight rake; where the distance from the top of the wheel to the fender lip is the same front and rear.

jchav62 · 07-03-2008, 04:04 PM

I say leave it. That slight rake looks good...

I would love to, but my ground clearance is an issue. It needs 6" to be able to be shipped. Once I get it, I might.

No, the truck is not here yet. It is still back home in oklahoma. I went to order the parts and the company would not ship to my APO box, so the only way for me to get them would be to give them my German address, which would cost me an extra $300-$400, so a buddy put it all together for me.

My truck should be getting shipped within the next few weeks, so by the time it gets here it will be toward the end of August, early September. It should of already been here, but there have been a few problems getting the truck to the shipping yard. When it gets here, I will get in touch and we'll go cruise or something. Know anyone else with these trucks that might wanna go with us?

SCOTTROD · 07-04-2008, 11:27 AM

Sure there´s a buddy who has a K5 and a C10 under construction and he sells billett goodies and cool stuff. (www.cooleparts.com)
And there´s a boardmember from Krefeld with a long stepper thats los-lowrider and another member in southgermany with a great 68 C10 thats blukangoo (www.v8brothers.de) and another member is rob73-87!I think it would be great to make a german boardmeet!
I hope i´ll get mine thru TÜV and the LPG system soon,that i can cruise it!
