Finally Got MY Truck Back With The Front Dropped - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HotRod929 · 04-15-2003, 11:26 PM

Got my truck back today with new ball joints upper and lower and one full coil cut off the springs. I really like the way the truck sits now. I also put my new exhaust in: 2.5" pipe exiting before the rear axles and 18" glasspacks. Let me tell you this thing is loud. I like it though. Let em know what you think.

71-longbed - I dont follow what you are saying. How do I take air out of my shocks and how will that effect the height of the rear. Thanks

well you can only take air out if you have air shocks in the rear ..... since you don't know what im talking about im guessing you probaly don't have them ...... i thought maybe you didn't just by how far up your rear end looks in those pics .... the air nozzle is usually by the license plate

Oh ok. I dont have air shocks. The rear is like that because it is still at stock height.

What are your plans for the rear - drop it or leave it where it is?

HotRod929 · 04-16-2003, 11:05 AM

My plan is to drop the rear. I can decide how to do it though. One side has 8 leafs in it while the other only has 6. So ether way im gonna need to pull leafs from that side.
