2/5 or 3/4

[liljon285]

I am getting a flip kit and front coils for my truck which either give it a 2/5 or 3/5 drop depending on the coil i choose. Which do you think would be the best drop, for a street rod style look?

Forgot to mention, my truck is a 1978 Chevy C10 Stepside!

Depending on your spring pack out back, a flip kit with only a 2 inch coil drop coil in front will probably give you that speed boat look whith the front higher than the back.

what I found is a flip kit required a c notch in the frame.
I recommend doing a shackel and hanger set up with a 3 inch drop coil or spindel in front. Much lower and you will have a tough time with drivability issues.
I am sayin Low looks cool but it stinks to try to drive them that way.

basicly a big money pit, but a lot of fun.

I wouldn't switch to a shackle hanger setup if you are wanting a flip.  You will end up regretting it later since you will probably want it lower anyway.

I have had no drivabililty issues as all with any of my trucks with the 6" flip they had and the 4" drop in front.  

If you want it level go with 3/5.  These trucks generally sit 2" higher in the rear so if you want it to be level add about 2" to the front amount.
