is it too low - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

was just wondering if a 5/6 5/7 drop would be to much for 15 inch wheels cuz i want to put 20's but don't want to ride them every day

I don't think so. My truck is about 6/8, and it is on rally wheels. My slots will be 15's, too.

I have a 5/7 now on my burb with 15 and it is fine.

I have a 6/8, My front tire when I had my 20s was 26"s tall. It was fine, it was low and I had to remove my inner fenders but no major problems. If you just make sure your 15s have a 26" or taller tire ( I wouldnt go over 27-28"s) you will be fine.

5/7 should be ok, front tires may rub on inner fenders, but you can always take them out. you will have to anyway if you want to go lower.....and you will.

I think it's fine for now, you don't really need the back any lower, the front looks like it should come down, the spindles should fix that. mine was the same way...definately cut that bump stop out of the back tho and it should ride better unless the shocks are done?

thank again ya i will remove the bump stops for now and new drop shocks and see how it rides and will let you guys know
