thanks man, it's got 2.5" ground force drop spindles and heated springs in the front (5.5") and a belltech flip kit in the rear(6")

Very nice. I like the stance and especially the red rallys. Makes for a unique look.
Do you think heating the coils really provided 3" more drop? That seems like a lot.
-
before with drop spindles

Well if thats not a measurable difference, I don't know what is. Thanks.
It definitely looks better now.

You are going to end up hating those heated springs. It is much better to actually cut them.
Typically they end up breaking in two.
-
This is how I know I am getting old. I think I liked it better the way you got it, although those ugly ass running boards had to go. I'd have taken those off, put some alloy wheels on it, and called it good. I guess I have just never been a fan of lowered trucks. For that matter, never really been into lowered cars either. Looks like you are doing a good job of what you are doing though. I assume you will be painting the truck red to match the wheels?
-
Nice truck, i was just wondering how much ground clearance you have up front on those control arms and how it rides ;D
-
Yea man how did you get your stock ralleyes to work with drop spindles? I would love to see pictures of what kind of grinding/mods were done?
-
That looks awesome. My truck has that same stance(the one with spindles only) right now. I'm about to cut a full coil off the springs...well actually my neighbor is going to do it because I don't want to kill myself trying to remove/install the springs. Anyway, nice truck, I think it would look even better with some bigger tires in the back.

You're welcome man, that's a lot lower... I had like yours when I bought her last 2 years ago and drove her back to home.... it's really hurting my chest and on the lower back spines and muscles bad while my Truck running very hard shaking. The previous owner didn't do the right job on her... My friends and I took 2 front coils (that had been cutted coils off halfway by previous owner) off and rearend (came from a car, lol!) off my Truck and replaced all original stock parts back together came from a 1983 Silverado SWB 2WD, she does runs smoother well but it's a bit higher that I can't see well while I'm driving because of height. My height is 5' 6" and I'm too old for lowered vehicles but I'll lower mine 2" drop coil spring sets in the front and 2" in the rear spring shackels and get new performance shorter shocks for me when I'm finish to restore her, that'll helps me more comfortable to driving and painless on my back. Hotrodpc were right about that, sorry... but yours will be fine riding on the smooth streets and roads or at the Car Shows only I think.
