Looks good man! Although, another LWB dead! RIP

What wheel / tire on the back? I'm ready to pull the trigger on springs and am struggling with what to get. I'll be 15x8 - 4.25 BS - 235/60-15 and 15x10 - 4.25 BS - 295/50-15. I've already got the 2.5" drop spindles and was all along thinking just a 1" spring to go with that, but seeing yours makes me wonder....

My 64 longbed with 4.5" front 6" rear. CPP grand slam 2.5" spindles and 2" coils in front, 4" HD coils in rear with 2" blocks. 20x8.5 American Racing Marins. Currently undergoing transformation into a Blazer type roadster.

Sorry to not have responded sooner! I have the wheel/tire combo as you will be running. I hope to change that next year long with some wheel tub extensions (hint, hint). I am very happy with how my height turned out. I have decent ground clearance. I plan to drive this a lot and don't intend to nurse it in/out of parking lots and over those stinkin speed bumps. I did the lca relocation and had to do a little massaging on my spring pockets in the upper a arm and also had to notch the lower a arm to clear. Here is a pic after I lined the bed up with the cab.

What did you do in the rear? I was thinking a 5" spring and a little block to perfect the pinion angle? I've already done the trailing arm mounting bracket flip. 295/50-15 on 10"x15" - 4-1/4"bs.

Thanks for the advise!

I used some 72 El Camino coils and made a 2" drop block. I did the trailing arm mount flip but I need to check the pinion angle now that I have the bed back on. It's always good to compare notes!

So I'm convinced on the front. Your's looks perfect to me. I'm for sure going to stick with 15" wheels as I just don't like the big-wheel look or fancy wheels. My steelies / poverty caps and old-school BFGs are one of the best features I'm trying to incorporate. What wheel / tire combo do you have on the rear? Any idea what drop you got with the Mino coils? Did you do a C-Notch? Thanks again dude!

I have a 275/60X15 on a 15x10 wheel (torque thrust II). I think I got around 5" with the coils and then added the 2" blocks. Didn't do a c notch. I have my exhaust routed up over the differential so I can't go any lower. I am leaning towards the Bilstein shocks.

Stactic dropped owners are a special breed who dont need the crutch of raising the truck to clear an obstical that could have been driven around.

I haven't relocated the rear shocks yet only the front. I plan on lowering the rear another two inches when I put a notch in. I will be using the Porterbuilt bridge with shock relocators.
