First is a crappy pic of my truck with a 2/3 drop and stock rims. I rode like this for 7 years.

Removed 2 pics to speed up this thread loading...

Next is a pic of my truck with the rims and the 2/3 drop.

Here it is as it sits now with a 4-4. It'll go to 4-5 soon, and the body mods leading up to custom paint will begin.

that back is perfect but man that rear needs to come down. what does yours measure to from the floor to the top of the front and rear fenderlips. i think you might need 2 more in back not 1 more inch

looks really nice.

 

[Nates93sTEN]

heh, That'll be a 4/6. I have no clue why the rear 4 inch drop looks just like the rear 3 inch drop. I still have my 3 inch blocks, but I'm not sure if I have a tool that will cut off the brackets.

measure to the top of the front and rear fenderlips see what it is i think the back needs to come down like 2 inches by the look of things

25.75 Front
29 Rear

ok let me get this straight

you used spindles and 2 inch drop springs in front and rear you just used a 3 inch leaf right.

front is a 25.75 to top of fenders and rear is 29 inches to top of fenders. yah but the 3 inch blocks in bro should help a lot. the guy in our site e's he has tyhe 91. with a 4 5 drop and 225-45-17 tires the front is at 25 1/2 and rear with 255-45-17 is at 26 1/2


tony.


e mail me back at [email protected] i can help you out bro

on my ss its 23 in front and 23.5 in back

 

[Nates93sTEN]

23 in the front without bags on yours? Wow, but the 2nd gens do have wider and lower fenders too.

It's (supposedly) lowered 4" in the back with 3" Bell Tech Leafs and 1" blocks. The axle is about 2" from the untrimmed bumpstops, and I've yet to bottom out the rear. I imagine 2" lower would require cutting off the whole bracket.

The front bottoms real easily though. Tires rub the fenders on good bumps or dips. The suspension doesn't bottom too much. All I hear is the tires anyway.

Better pics of how it sits right now:

yah its supposed to be a 5 6 drop but sagged down a lot 23 to top of fenders in front and 23 1/2 in back and its notched. what bs did you use for the front rims??? the back needs to come down some i think those leafs arent a true 3 inch drop

tony

i have no bags

 

[Nates93sTEN]

BS is 4.5. They rubbed the tie-rod, so I put in thin spacers. The tires rub the frame in full-lock turns. I wish I had just gone with 17x7s w/ 4in. BS and 215/45/17s up front. Apparently, the second gens have tons more room.

 

[98 SS ON NOS]

17x7 with 4 inch bs perfect 17x8 wiht 4.5 perfect i just talked to my buddy he said your back at most is a 3 inch drop in thouse pics go with 3 inch blocks you should be fine

 

[Nates93sTEN]

I put in the old 3" blocks again today, and it looks great. I'll get some pics soon.

 

[98 SS ON NOS]

did you cut the bumpstop bracket off. if the front is at 25 now and back was at 29 with the 3 inch block i bet it looks perfect. for some reason in the pic it looks like a 3 inch drop at most though

tony

 

[Nates93sTEN]

Yeah I cut off the brackets. The measurements are now 25.75 front, and 27 rear. It now has the 1" of rake I wanted in the first place. Myself and my buddies think it looks much better.

 

[98 SS ON NOS]

you should be fine. it shouldnt bottom out at all

tony

 

[99noma]

looks sweet man!

 

[Hotwire]

Truck does look awesome!! Wish my forest green 93 looked that sweet! Might want to find someone that will buff the paint out, it would really make the truck stand out.
