Help, I've fallen and I can't get up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey ya'll, I'm super stoked with my truck now that I've dropped it. Just got it done today. I'll go ahead and give all the specs since I know someone will ask. Front: 3" spindles, 1" coils with extra cut off. Rear: Flip kit, shackles and a 1" block with a custom welded in c-notch. I'm at about a 6.5/8 drop right now. The wheels are all 20X8.5 with 255/40/20 and a 1.25" spacer in the rear. The differential is about an inch from the bed floor and all is good back there. I had to cut the pipes before the axle but love the sound out of my flowmasters even better now. I'll probably just put on some downturns and leave 'em short. The front is great on the outer edge but I'm rubbin' on the inside. I'll have to take care of that soon. These pictures are crappy but I'm gonna take pics of everything underneath in the next couple days to show ya'll what's goin' on under there.

Looks good . I know you have probably posted already but what backspace wheels did you order from Coys ?

it's a zero offset so that's a 4.25 BS I believe.

andresco50 · 07-25-2008, 12:55 AM

Nice truck man.. nice stance

babyJay · 07-25-2008, 07:26 AM

Lookin' great! What are you gonna do to it next?

knightlife · 07-25-2008, 07:58 AM

your truck does things to me that only a woman should...

BowTieOgre · 07-25-2008, 09:15 AM

Now THAT is a good looking truck. I love the sport mirrors, they look much better than the Dumbo ears.

seanconnery · 07-25-2008, 09:29 AM

I second BowTieOgre's comments. I also love the polished lip on those hoops too.

jdurant · 07-25-2008, 10:01 AM

Lookin really good. Sooner or later I'm gonna have to get me some Coys.

SBTork · 07-25-2008, 10:06 AM

Awesome!! It looks better than I thought it would, get some undercarrige shots soon.

Eighty-6 · 07-25-2008, 11:31 AM

One word awesome

68GMC454 · 07-25-2008, 11:34 AM

great truck.. looks great with the drop...

smashingchuck · 07-25-2008, 12:41 PM

Looks good. It would be nice to see some rake, but when you go that low with a static drop it's not really possible. I really do like it though - nice and simple with no BS.

boatpuller · 07-25-2008, 01:44 PM

LMDGUY · 07-25-2008, 01:57 PM
