what is the best ride with a 3 / 5 drop? anyone got pics of 3/5 drops?
 
I want to do a 3 / 5 drop on my 85 but i want the best ride possible out of it. i have been reading and it looks like a set of spindles in the front but i am not sure on the rear.


anyone got some pics of the 3/5 drop?

thanks

i did 3/5 3inch drop spindles and a flipkit out back(no need for c-notch)
it will sit high up front like in the first pic but i cut 3/4 of a coil off of the coil springs and it sits flat now :metal:

The front is 245/60's and rear is 275/60's. I wanna get a different set of wheel's/tires.... after the drivetrain is done though.

Anyone know where I can get some of those side window shadws like on Joe's red truck? I had some on my Benz till some one needed them more than I did.
