That is a sweet looking truck willy. Very nice. Did you use drop spindles up front? On mine I want to lower as far as I can without swapping to disc brakes for now. Later maybe but for now I just want her rolling down the road...

Willy your stance is the perfect stance I'm going for. Gotta tell me springs or spindles?

2.5" drop spindles and 1.5" drop springs for the front and 6" drop springs in the rear

thanks for the comps..

An old stock 3/4 ton chevy should sit with the tail up and the nose dipped just a bit, that is if the springs arnt worn from the years of work

You've got the hot rod stance nailed! What size tires are you running?

I think he cheated with his torsion bars.

Red65C10 · 08-24-2011, 10:01 PM

Willy - did that 6 inch drop involve a c notch ?

Thanks,

Willy I measured mine the same way you did just for kicks, mine was at 9 inches front, 14 rear at the bottom of each bumper.

willyp · 08-24-2011, 10:33 PM

kick ass stance rich!

red, c notch not required with the early classic enterprises drop kit.

PAPA KENT · 08-25-2011, 12:13 AM

i tend to like mine a little higher than most guys do but i think a little drop in the front always looks great!

SulphuriousSam · 08-25-2011, 12:26 AM

Hey Papa Kent that's real nice. What was done suspension-wise to achieve the stance?

well thankyou! I just installed (light duty) factory coils in the rear,(not the heavier progressive coils) and cranked down the torsion bars a bit.when i purchased it last fall it had heated coils on it and was to low for me and it rides on 245/60 15's.

wutnxt · 08-25-2011, 06:19 PM

I know these pictures aren't great for stance but I like the back up a bit myself. So This truck has 2.5" drop spindles and 3 " drop coils in the front and 5" drop in the back. Thats only 1/2" difference but when you stand back and look at these trucks they look like the back is higher to begin with because of the way the box bottom ends.
