Lowered daily
 
I know, probably a thousand posts on this, any pics of real daily driven lowered rides? Life has thrown me a curve ball ( no crying towel here), wife has cancer issue but turned out good, (a blessing) but may have to start daily my c10, 4 1/2 f, 5 rear, some pics of real daily's would be cool. All the posters here are so nice, we need our own island, ha.

I'll kick things off. Mine is bagged so I could be called a cheater as I can rise up if necessary. One from last winter, one at the bank last month ( with a daily driver Vette I see there all the time) one returning from Mr Plywood and one up the Columbia River near Goldendale WA (About 120 miles from home)

I don't drive mine "everyday"but I do drive it a lot, running around town to the grocery, hardware, etc. Heaviest load was probably Deere riding mower with no problems. Mine has 5 1/2, 7" drop and I do have a C notch. The ride is "sporty" but I like the look. Two pics with 15" rallys and two with 18, 20" Billet Specialties Speedways.

Not every single day, but this is mostly a daily driver in my little town, rough streets and big dips at intersections are a little stressing, and it’s only dropped 3 and 5 with springs only...unless you live where the streets are smooth as glass, I couldn’t imagine any more drop than that on a daily driver...but then again, spindles , or bags surely help.

Driven daily for 30 years and 250,000 miles.

Lowered it when it had about 1500 miles on it.

68 daily driver I bought back in 2016, I drive just about everyday, cant confirm the drop as the PO did the drop, had transplant 350 /th400 , after putting 97k on the truck had head gaskest failure , decided to replace it with a L31 crate engine and 2004r , have 44k now on the L31/200 r4, I drive 142 miles every day to work, the drop is proberly close to what you have , the suspention is getting worn but still drives ok other then bump steer has gotten worse ,I have a Ride tech street grip kit to install when I get the time.

Jrainman, I like your truck! Stance is identical to mine. Are you running a electric FP with that motor,? Running a 700r4, 3.73's , engine is fine but would like a roller setup.

Between me and two teenagers mine is driven three or more times a week. It gets expensive feeding the 396. But we all love driving it.

I don't drive my 72 GMC C15 every single day, but drive it enough to enjoy it.

The dark green CST/10 is my Dad's and he drives it every single day.
