How does it drive? Are you running a c-notch, shock relocator, flip kit, or anything of that nature?

It rides really good. I was surprised. No C notch but I am running front and rear shock relocators. The Hotchkis springs are really nice and I'm sure the ride tech shocks help out a lot too

How we roll these days. Static on springs and spindles, blocks and coils, adjustable bar, pipe notch. Virtually impossible not to take pavement samples from time to time in the Pittsburgh area...

I bought air-ride for it but everyone says NO!

Is anyone here running a staggered 18" wheel setup on a slammed static drop truck? Im looking at 18x8 and 18x9 wheels and wanting to run a 255/40zr18 and 275 or 285/40zr18 tires. Anyone have any insight?

The previous owner did the drop but I think he cut a round or a round and a half out the springs.

Hey neighbor, cool truck! Hard to tell on my phone, but looks like a 8 lug truck. I just picked up a 62 3/4 ton. What did you do to drop it up front?

Hahah...I like it! I've cranked mine down til its riding on the bumps. I'm wanting to go lower, so working on how best to do it. My brother has a 62 6 lug axle and I may swap the 8 lug out for it if it has a more highway friendly gearing and do a crossmember swap up front.

Does your axle bottom out or do you have a notch?

I'm sure it will on big bumps, there's probably 2" or a little less between the axle and the frame. I only live a few miles from the shop we worked in but it didn't bottom out on the drive home. I'll have a notch kit when I get home today that will go in. My brakes were acting up on the way home, not sure what changed in the brakes yet, so I didn't drive it too hard to see if it would hit.

Would anyone like to have a guess if my truck has been lowered or changed at all?

It's got a small rake and standard spindles etc (running 4x drums). How do I tell if it has lowered springs? As I'd like to lower it a little bit more in the near future.

Rolling on 255/70/15 tires
