Hey, well, I've officially started a frame up build on my 69 chevy short step. I want a fairly low stance, not really low, but low enough to look good and still be able to drive it without worrying about hitting curbs or speed bumps. I'll measure my dads 48, which is the stance I want, and you can drive it and not hit stuff.
I'm thinking a 4/6 drop with 2.5" spindles and drop springs up front and 4" drop springs with 2" blocks in the rear. Or maybe just 6" springs in the rear. Whats the pros and cons for those two options?
Heres my main question. How far can I go in the front before the inner fenders become an issue with clearance? I know the wheels I choose make a big difference, but is there anything to worry about with that drop? Thanks
Oh, and heres some eye candy for you guys. Its my dads '48 he did. L99 (4.3 v8, little brother to the LT-1, not sure about the tranny, i think its a 4L60E, buick roadmaster rear 4 link suspension, his front clip utilizing late model front sus. componants. Yes, his front clip. Some of you might know his work. And he made two, the other guy drove it from here, Northern California, to North Carolina about a week after it was finished, and no problems.
