N00b at dropping trucks.

eeshays · 06-16-2009, 03:53 AM

I have a 94 s10 and I want to drop it a few inches and keep stock size or maybe nothing bigger than 16s or 17s.

I'm a noob at the sizes, what does 2/3 or 3/4 drop mean? thank you.

I think I want a 3/4 from what I've seen in pictures.

what would I need to order? I dont completely trust myself to do it since i've only done it once but friend did most of the work.

it was an EF, all i changed to were some lowered coilovers. trucks are probably a lot different.

heres what I'm working with, i may want to get some new wheels first. anyone know any good tire places around modesto, CA?

ignore the low inflated tires lol, i filled them up by now. truck was like that when i got it.

if you want cheap you could get some 3in drop springs and 4in blocks fairly easy and cheap for a better ride quality i would say spindles springs leafsprings and blocks plus shocks as far as judging just measure from the ground to the fender lip then subtract 3 inches and u can get an idea of what it will be like
also my truck is lowered 3inches all around on stock tire and wheel just search for my thread

3/4 would mean 3" drop up front and a 4" drop out back.

Id do Belltech 2" spindles with 1" coils up front and 3" leafs with 1" blocks out back for the best 3/4 drop.

Try summit racing for all of those parts.

Also be sure to get lowered shocks while you're at it.

that pic was back in june, the only thing different now is that i have a clean white tailgate and windows tinted.

next thing on my list is a rollpan from grant kustoms and 17s cragar soft 8s from summitracing and new tires.

i also plan on doing 5/6 drop, ordering from stylintrucks or summit, whichever is cheaper. (belltech parts)

i only make so much money ;/

after i finish all those things, the only thing i may get is a drop in bed liner or something and just leave the truck alone.

it's my daily driver, has 86k miles on it hehe
