Cool. Now just slap some smaller tires in the front and you'll be even lower (the way I lik'em.)

I think the 3/5 drop looks great. I was considering the 4/6, but it may too much for a daily driver.

Thats how im going to run my exhaust with the exception of im not buying no crossmember or anything Ive made some plates to put in after i cut holes in the cross member and talked to a local muffler shop that doesnt have anyone to do mufflers but they will let me do myown so I guess ill be getting er done soon. Had plans of putting new exhaust on this truck long before i ruint the old muffs.
I had two new flows sitting in the shop that i got for 91.98 and thats for a pair shipped. But i ran my mouth and sold them for 100 now ive got some dynomax bullets but Im not certain as if i want to run them .. Kinda getting tired of the ungodly loudness. Here is a pic of my springs as requested Last edited by 1972C10; 07-02-2007 at 01:13 AM. |

How hard does that axle hit the frame???? I have a 4 and 6 drop on my 72 and the rear spring's are taller than those....

I had the flows on my Mustang and it was a little loud. I don't know how many chambers they were though. It was the only cat back system they had for an 01' GT. They were called American Thunder. My buddy had the same car and he had the Dyno's and they sounded sweet. Quiet down low, but growled when he got on it. I am gonna get the crossmemember so I can run a 700R4 and it has clearance to run the exhaust along the sides of the tranny. Then I will cut into the frame to run out the sides. That's the plan at least. I have all the ideas of what I want, but time and money will tell the truth.
