Looks good you should paint your drums white or black since they are so exposed.

I actually sold it as it sits right before I got my white 86. I don't know if the new owner has done anything with it or not?

monte0185 · 02-16-2011, 03:14 PM

Here's Mine. DJM 3/5 kit. Think i might cut 1/2 coil out of the front when I have time. 18x8 front 20x10 Rear.

BadCompany · 02-27-2011, 08:00 AM

I have a '87 swb with 4 leafs in the rear no c-notch would I have any trouble running a flip kit?

flamingbig10 · 02-27-2011, 10:57 AM

you'll be fine but you'll need to remove the factory bump stops there's 4 rivets that hold them on and replace them with stubby ones

nice truck
do your front wheels tuck inside the fender if you were to lower it more? what size of tires, are they the boss 338's

thanks stephen

Puglia10 · 03-24-2011, 04:39 PM

^ I know its kind of old but, monte0185 I have that same kit and agree the front needs to come down a little, how much is half a coil cut?
Love the truck though!

CuRtdOgG · 03-25-2011, 03:58 PM

How do you remove those rivets??

mooseknuckles · 03-25-2011, 05:16 PM

grind the head off, or cut a "X" in the head, and pound it out with a chisel and a BFH!

what kind of motor is that..

87chevy.com · 03-26-2011, 12:00 AM

Front: McGaughys drop spindles, stock springs
Rear: 81-91 Suburban rear hangers and McGaughys drop shackle with the overload spring removed.

this is why they dont make lowering hangers for suburbans... they come like that from the factory!

They dont bolt in, but you can use one of the factory holes, and drill the rest and add 3/8 grade 8 hardware.

pumpgas · 06-21-2011, 08:35 PM

So am I correct in assuming that you have to cut the rear bed floor support for the drop hanger install?
