Quite possibly the coolest look I've seen.

jason65 · 01-07-2010, 12:14 AM

@ 3 1/2" and 5"

Rich 5150 69 · 01-07-2010, 12:19 AM

How many of you are running jeep rear springs in your static drop, and from what model....?

Nailz · 01-07-2010, 02:45 AM

@ 5.5/7
CPP Grand Slam with notch

Eagletucky · 01-07-2010, 12:32 PM

Heres mine...

2 1/2" dropped spindles with 1 and 1/4 coils cut off of the front.

Jeep springs with 2" blocks in the back.

I'm currently looking for a suburban chassis to stuff all this into. Wish me luck!

spr85gmc · 01-07-2010, 12:50 PM

Eagletucky · 01-07-2010, 01:32 PM

I need to find out what stock height is on our trucks. Could someone (or maybe a few of you to get an average) with stock suspension measure from the center of your wheel to the lip of the fenders front and rear. I bought my truck lowered and need to redo the suspension but I want to return to the same stance so I need to know how much it’s lowered.

How did you achieve this stance?

chopper john · 01-22-2010, 03:09 AM

i cut two coils off the front and took off the bump stop. in the rear its step notched ,two inch blocks and cut spring, i know it sounds crazy but a few guys told me on hear jeep springs and cut . i had g body springs i cut them in half and tryed them on , then cut another half a turn. so i have it bolted to the trailing arm with like a turn and a half total. not my idea but i seams to work good (smooth)

Mine is torsion bars...

2.5 inch drop spindles in front and 5"drop coils in rear. that's all.. no frame cutting or anything...

MXmaniac · 01-23-2010, 03:24 PM

Front - Lower control arms stepped 1-1/2" + 3" CPP drop springs.

Rear - Manual-fill air-bags(Airlift D6000s with schraeder valves) and homemade 2" c-notch.

twotons · 01-23-2010, 07:52 PM

oldblue1968chevy · 05-26-2010, 01:21 PM

greg65 · 05-26-2010, 01:55 PM

Just bookmarking so I don't forget to come back and read later

boucher racing · 05-26-2010, 11:14 PM

Front - cut 1 1/2 coil and zipped off the bump stop brackets
Rear- removed 5 of the 8 leaf springs.

Like most others, I forgot to put the tape from ground to center of wheel well before dropping to get the actual inch of drop. damn

MalibuKasey · 06-01-2010, 10:08 AM

Ok so I have to ask.... for those running Jeep coils.... and please be honest.... hows the ride quality? Ive heard its not bad.... but you just cant haul anything is that true? Im thinking of a 5.5/7 static drop for the 66 and this is an option....
