GMC/Leaf Spring Axle Flip Lit - ?

[Mike C]

I had a specific goal in mine and that started with disc brakes which need spindles anyhow, so dropped made sense.

The 275 55 17 tires in the back on 17x9" wheel with 5" bs required the wider axle from a 71-72 truck to put the wheel in the right spot. I am running the urethane puck bump stops that came with the kit and have not c-notched. It hits the stops sometimes but really a non-issue.

I am running 4 stock length front shocks. In the rear I re-drilled the upper mount plate to put the shock in the more vertical 2nd hole. I think I may have run a 69 Camaro multi-leaf shock mount in the hole? Don't remember now.

On the front it has 17x8" wheels with 4.5" bs and 235 55 17. I added a sway bar from a parts truck I had but bought the ECE sway bar lowering brackets.
