c4 dropmember users got before/after input? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Custom 68 · 02-16-2009, 10:28 PM

So I know a few have purchased these how do they handle in the trucks? Not much info out there since they are still fairly new. How is the before and after experience?
Thanks
Dave
Originally I was asking about the C4 dropmember but I guess nobody has actually used one. How bout all dropmembers anybody installed and driven one? They sure look great sitting in the weeds but I like to drive mine too.

I know allot of guys who have them have not got them on the road yet but you can PM a board member Dino63 and ask him. He currently has 3 running and driving DropMember truck so I think he kind of likes them

I just bought my C4 DM and hope to have it in some time this year but with the C4 rear as well as a full build on the 72 Tahoe it might take some time.

Thanks Kevin that seemed to be the case they look great and have alot of advantages but I knew of no one that was actually "using" them.
to followup how about the regular dropmembers? I think they are supposed to have better geometry too.
Thanks all
Dave

The suspension geometry of the DropmemberC4 is the same design I used on several chassis designs, including the 55 I built a few years back. Ride quality and handeling are great.

Thanks Nate, I thought there were several sold but I really hadnt heard any input on drivability. I figure it is good but that is my main reason for wanting one. That and my tires rub on my outerlip of the inner fender. I really want/need to narrow my track width. With this I figure I can get the best of both worlds...
Thanks
Dave
