drop pictures?

[stroker52]

getting ready to buy a drop kit for my 85 rcsb but not sure what i want. ive dropped 88 to 98 trucks and 99 an up but not a sqaure body. my 96 obs i did a 4/6 and was right were i wanted it. my 99 nbs is also a 4/6 but can someone post me some pictures of different drops on the sqaure body short beds? i see you can get a flip for 5 inch and 6 inch drop. i want to replace the front springs and there 2 inch drop springs but with a 2 inch drop spindle i dont want the back lower then the front. i want it level or just maybe a little rake.

the tire im running is a 275/60/15 and i dont mine trimming the lip on the fenders cuz ive had to do that to all my trucks..

My black pickup at 6/8 drop


I've got one somewhere where she was at 3/5. I'll find it and post.

Here's mine. It's actually a longbed but it might be useful for reference. 3" djm drop spindles up front with 1 coil cut for about 5 inchs in the front and a flip kit in the rear. Tire specs are 245/60r15 in front and 275/60r15 in the rear.

Here's the same truck at 3/5




One more at 6/8

[Low87]

3/5 drop was a 3" drop spindle (don't think they're available anymore) and 2.5" drop shackles and hangars.

6/8 drop was 3" spindle + 3" drop coil and axle flip with 2.5" drop shackle.

Very nice Low87... where did you get the mirrors that are in the 3rd picture? They sort of look like 2nd gen camaro mirrors.

3/5 just gives a good classy look

truck is dropped 9" in the back has flip kit, hangers and shackles. front is 2.5 spindles and springs cut to level it. tires are 235/70/15. I havent driven it yet other than into the trailer, and into the shop. but it has less than 4" of clearance frame to ground

im kinda leaning to the 5/6 drop.. but not sure if that will put the truck level or not..

Still very much available. I ordered DJM 3 inch spindles last week. Belltech still makes them too.

where do the 275/60 rub? if its the fender lip thats fine i can trim them like ive done before..

ive ran 295/50/15 on my obs truck all the way around on a 5/7 drop just had to trim the lip so they wouldnt rub..




the 96 was my last truck i built and sold kind wish i didnt i did the full LS swap. it had a 4.3 with a 5speed but changed it over to a 4L60E



here is a walk around video..

[meatwagon83]

[bbbc10]

4 1/2 front , 6 rear...2 cut coils and axle flip. truck is at the shop right now and now has short bump stops and Gabriel air shocks in the rear. would like to go down another 2 inches...probably with some shackles and a pair of spindles.
