mikes61 your truck is the bizzniss man, what is your static setup because until I can afford bags I am going static.

mikes61 · 10-18-2013, 09:40 AM

Thanks! The front is 2.5 drop spindles with 3" lowering springs and the rear is 5" flip kit with 2" blocks and 1" rear shackles.

What is a flip kit?

mikes61 · 10-18-2013, 09:54 AM

And yes definetely will remove the window vents ..and already have an appointment at the exhaust shop.

BigDaddyV · 10-18-2013, 09:55 AM

It is a kit that moves your rear axle on top of the leaf springs. vs. being under them.

ok thanks, so this is for pickups with leafs in the rear. I have coils in the rear.

BigDaddyV · 10-18-2013, 10:11 AM

yup. For you, you can do lowering springs and blocks, if you want to keep the springs. if you go more than 4" I would suggest c-notch and an adjustable track bar.

2.5 spindles 3" springs
Flipped Leaf Springs in the rear

True 67 · 11-13-2013, 04:17 PM

okay ..please help..i must ask this question..i have a 71 and bought the Wilwood big brake kit front/rear and plan on running 20" wheels.. i also have the 2.5" cpp drop spindle for up front. i only want to do a 2.5" front and 4" rear drop as i will be more than likely loading up my bike that weights around 700lbs..So i'm looking for shokcks to compliment what i want.. do i go with a stock shock for front/rear and get the 4" drop spring for the rear or what?

ksshane · 11-13-2013, 05:40 PM

I have leafs in the back so I cant really answer that question..... Dont quote me on this but I think you can just buy front shocks and use them on the rear with a 4" drop... But Im not 100% sure.

knomadd · 11-14-2013, 11:23 AM

I think you need drop shocks for the rear. Just looking at CPP's shocks on their website says they have a shock for stock height, a 2-4" drop shock and a 5" drop shock for the rear. I would recommend shock relocators for the rear.

I do know that stock shocks will work up font if you're only using a 2.5" drop spindle. The spindle doesn't change your suspension height at all. It simply moves the wheel location as it relates to the suspension.

68Stepbed · 11-15-2013, 09:32 AM

I lowered the rear another inch for a 4.5/6.75 total drop.

Drop spindles actually lower ride height by moving the wheel higher on the spindle (higher in the wheel well). No change to overall suspension height (springs and shocks) because nothing behind the spindle is changed. Ride height is obviously lower by the amount of spindle drop, usually 2.5".

knomadd · 11-17-2013, 05:28 PM

Wow JWall! I haven't been a fan of square bodies, but I think that one might change my mind. Very nice!
