Re: The Drop Thread

SWEET!!! I still think I need to go another inch down on mine. It has a flip and shackles now. I don't know though. But looking at your makes me think I should add the 1" block.

Re: The Drop Thread

Red02chevy, you sir have an AWESOME truck! I love the white and oem moldings! Favorite color and look IMO on these trucks. Wheels and stance are perfect!

Anyways, here is my 87 which is still in the process (obviously) of being painted. Drop consists of a 4.5/6 via 2.5 spindles, 2'' springs, flip kit and shackles set to 1'' mark. 235/60/15 front, 255/60/15 rear. C-Notched as well.

The wheels are Cragar S/S's. 15x6 in the front and 15x7 in the rear. I wish the truck was black. But white will do.


here's all I got right now on my photobucket.

Re: The Drop Thread

If I were to do the 2 coil cut and shackle relocation like Keith did to his old truck in post #34, would the ride be totally awful?
