How much drop do I have? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

75-K5 · 02-06-2004, 07:15 AM

Hey, just wondering if you guys could tell me exactly how much front and rear drop my truck has. Sorry if it's too hard to tell from the pic, it's the best side shot I have. I was just curious and bored

Thanks!

I would say 4/4 maybe.

I don't thing the back is dropped nearly as much as the front, Swervin. Maybe not at all. Mine has about the same amount of rake, and I have only dropped thr front (2.5 inches) so far.

looks like a 3/4 to me

TIMSPEED · 02-06-2004, 04:02 PM

What size tires are those? I'm gonna go with 5/4 myself...

75-K5 · 02-06-2004, 09:03 PM

They're 26's, but I was thinking about making another poll asking what would be a good size for the back...I would prefer something bigger in the rear, like 28's or 30's.

So they're 295/50 15's right? If that's the case, then you DEFINATELY have at LEAST 5" of drop up front, shoot, maybe even 6"! That's LOW. If you wanna run 275/60 15's out back, do it, then bring it down a LOT, to level out the stance, so then it'll look tubbed

Are those AR Nitro rimms?

Mine has a 4" front drop with 235/60/15 tires on the front. I don't think those are Nitro's.... these are Nitros.....

I wish I had a better picture.

They're Optima alloys

yup, its forsale, time to get rid of the truck and go back to a car.. something around the lines of an old chevy, or some of the new camaros, etc, anything GM

The truck has its ups and downs.. just like any vehicle.. etc..
