someone with a stockfloorbodydropped 73-87

[boomer]

I airbagged my truck completely out last night and my frame rails are sitting 4" inches from floor to the bottom of the the frame rail. " UNDER THE CAB)This is after i ran 2by4box tubing and trimmed off the excess 2 inches or so as well.

Porter built seems to think i may be running a stock spindle which he knows his trucks so ill have to figure that out. With a 3 inch drop spindle should i be down alot further than i am???

If judging by the distance i have of 4 inches to get the frame rail down id have to z the frame 4 inches to lay it out.That wouldnt make sense when im running a diameter of 26 on my tires. I wanted to go with a 2 or 2.5 inch z.

They guy that installed the airride kit said there were drop spindles but i question this. The truck was lowered before i airbagged it. They guy who owned it before me said he had belltech spindles and coils???????


Im tryin to get ahold of the guy who bagged it to see if hes certain. How else can one tell if it is a stock chevy spindle or a drop spindle.

Im confused if my frame rails should be sitting lower than they are. Im runnin slams all around with no cups, just plate on the top and they are squished right out.

Anyone remeber on there 73 to 87 chevies what there schematics were when aired out with just the box tubing in and no z.
