Yeah, I had not measured, but guessed the drop would be 3-inch total with 2-inch drop shackles and moving front hangers up 2 inches. The squared wheel openings on these 74-88 Chevys are HUGE!
I like a more level lowered look, but will have to settle for a raked stance closer to this 454-powered '74 c10 stepside that Ryan O'Neal drove in the movie "The Driver". Nevermind that it has a floor-shift in some shots and a column shift in others. I could watch the amazing stunt driving in that chase scene a hundred times:
