I'll have a notch kit when I get home today that will go in. My brakes were acting up on the way home, not sure what changed in the brakes yet, so I didn't drive it too hard to see if it would hit.

Here's my drop, 2.5" drop spindle and 2" coil drop up front. Back is 4" lower coils. Pretty much offsets the large 22" rims. Sits more or less stock height of 31" to the fender.

Before (bottom) and After (top) with 2.5" drop spindles in front, 3" lowering springs in rear, fresh shocks all around and a sbc350/th400 swap. Only took me about 2 years!

New tires are same outside diameter, wheels went from 15" to 17"

Seriously considering selling all the gravel I've scraped up with it and bagging it with the proceeds.

Man that's low for a static drop. Won't you bottom out on everything?

True, it is low, and it probably won't be that low in the front. I'll be running exhaust manifolds, so there's no worry about headers hitting the pavement.

I have a 62 chevy coil converted on the front with about the same drop. Do you have any issues with the 255s up front?
