Mine has 6" in the front and 4" in the back
Good place to start. Thanks

[quote=mr48chev;9165724]As greasylikeaburger said Sid is Sid Drapel who owns Dropped Axle company in Oklahoma and is the go to shop to properly drop a Chevy truck I beam axle.

That is if you want to stick with leaf springs and an I beam axle.

They aren't cheap but If I wanted an MII front end I would seriously look at the front end from TCI that has upright mounts for the upper control arms that in turn use shims for caster/camber adjustments rather than the slots that duplicate a stock MII front end like a lot of companies sell.

Lot of choices out there.
Thanks

The AM chassis rides like a dream and really accelerated the timeline on my build. Since the truck had been waiting 40 years for me to finally finish it, I figured a little help from the experts at AM was more than worth it.

Good luck with your build.
The chop and the stance looks just right! Nice truck.
The AM is way out of my budget. TCI and others will be what I end up with.
