Trying to decide if I should go with a stock front spring and a 2 1/2 drop spindle and 4 inch rear spring drop or drop 2 1/2 spindle with one inch drop spring for a 3 1/2 and a 5 inch rear spring drop.
Thanks. The color and trim gets lots of good comments.

I went with a 2/3 spring drop and then added 1" lowering blocks. I did install adjustable pan hard bar also at that time. Then had the alignment done. The reason why I did it that way was to minimize the amount of single spring drop in the rear so I would not have to relocate the shocks. I have 275/60/15 size tires on 8" wide wheels. It's not slammed down like most folks do, but it has a great stance and I prefer the Ol school look of this drop. On a long bed it actually looks lower than it is compared to my SWB stepper that has a 3/5 drop.

It rides like a dream. Super smooth ride. Actually, the best riding vehicle I have out of 6 that I own.

Re: How about some pics of lowered long beds

Saw a pretty cool lowered long.box.bed rolling down the freeway yesterday so I thought it would be cool to bring this up again. There are some really nice trucks posted early on, and a bunch of lost pictures.

Post up your truck even if you did it back in 2010!

1972 Cheyenne Super, my daily driver!
Was lowered with springs when I purchased it. Not sure on the specs.
