Lowered truck measurements.

[joe231]

I'm trying to figure out how much drop I ended up with on my crew (I didn't measure before). If someone with a 5/5 or 5/7 drop could measure from the center of the wheels, front and rear, to the top of the wheel opening I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Anyone?

Joe, do you have or need the stock measurements? Neither of my crews are dropped yet. One is an 87 the other an 89.

Thanks for the reply Jason!
Yeah I'll take some stock measurements....
That would be a start.

I'll get them as soon as the sun comes up.

I guess if you subtract your measurements from mine it should be a close guesstimate.???

Both years I have are about the same. 21.25-21.5 in the rear and 20.25-20.5 in the front. Theyre both parked in gravel tho, hence the .25 variances. My garage is clogged up with the Elky right now, so I don't have a good level surface to go by.

Cool thanks!
I'm @ 5/7 lower than your stock measurements.

Any one with a 1/2 ton lowered 5/7 care to take some measurements?
Thanks!

Hey Joe, now that it looks like you have a confirmed 5/7 drop, how tall are your front tires and what kind of clearance with the inner fender do you have?

[joe231]

Brandon,
I'm 5 and 7 lower then a 1 ton crew
might not be the same as a 5/7 on a 1/2 ton truck
I have a 27" tall tire on the front currently, and I have a ton of room between the tire and inner, I even have room between the tire and the wheel opening. I can go measure if you like.....

[baclay9]

No biggie, I didn't realize those measurements were from a 1 ton crew. I thought they were from a 1/2 ton. I knew it seemed like you had plenty of clearance, but your truck seems really low to me. I guess I am just not use to lowered trucks yet. My buddy has a 1/2 ton that is lowered like 1/3 and I feel like I am sitting right on the ground when I am in it. I can't imagine what mine is going to be like @ 5/7. Anyway, I will get off your thread now...

Thanks for the info.
Is that 3" spindles and 2" springs in the front and a flip and shackles out back?

So I gather from these measurements that to get a one ton to the same height as a 5/7" 1/2 ton you need to go 6/8"
