Great Look
love to know the spec on the lowering of your truck it sits perfect and would love
to do the same to mine

Well, I am trying to figure that out. It has longer shackles in the rear with hangers in the front. It also appears to have one of the leafs removed. As for the front, it has lower control arms with recessed spring pockets. I think someone also heated the coil springs to make them sag. The truck is really to low for what I want so I am going to try to bring it up a tad. The front is scary because of the 'spring' treatment. The back is fine but I think I need to put a leaf back in and maybe move the springs down on the the hangers and shackles to raise it a little.

Well it looks perfect. sorry to hear the execution was a little less than.
way good looking truck there good luck sorting it out

[Tony_SS]

Awesome - looks just like mine!

What size tires are on there?

[oldwhity]

That's a very tastefully done truck! I wouldn't change a thing.

[bmaier]

beautiful, just beautiful.

Indeed, very sharp. I too would put the non-step rear bumper on there. It's a smooth look. I have a roll pan on mine but I often think a non-step bumper would look good. My wife says to keep the roll pan because it looks more hot rod

Do you have any bottoming-out problems with the suspension the way it is? It does sit really nice.

[slimneverdies]

We have twins almost. Now I see what mine will look like when lowered. Im gonna go with a dropmember and airbags !!

[oldwhity]

Hey slim, nice truck. Is that a 69 in the garage?

[slimneverdies]

yes sir it is! Its a 69 SS 427 impala all original except power windows, doors, and ac was added

[oldwhity]

Sweet, you don't see too many 427's anymore. That's definately a keeper.
