How do you keep your front cross member form scraping on the ground when you go over speed bumps and dips with a 6 inch drop up front?

Camaro front clip with 1 inch drop springs, qa1 upper control arms, leafs in the rear with 3 inch lowering blocks and all but 2 leads removed.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

Here is my GMC. It has 3 inch lowering springs and 2 inch drop spindles in front. For the rear it has a c-notch and a flip kit for approximately 6 inch (just guessing) drop. Had to cut out a square section of the wood bed directly over the differential for travel clearance in rear suspension.

Now that looks fantastic!

What are the details, would like to replicate this if possible with my set up.

P. :D

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

That looks great Which flip kit did you use?

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

Thanks flynn, it was a flip kit for 1973-87

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

Wow the stance on that gmc looks great!

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

My work in progress daily driver. Had 2/4 drop for the last 10 years and today I added 2" lowering blocks. She is stuck up right now. I am working my way for disc conversion up front to add 2" drop spindles to give it that 4/6. Baby steps.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

That's a real nice stance
I'm thinking towards these

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

nice truck I like the colors

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

I read the part about the axle flip. But for the drop spindles did you have to convert to disc? Or where did you get them?
Thanks

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

Thanks. The color is starting to fade but I still like it.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

Jysaint, I used a later model front end with disc brakes then drop spindles for 73-87

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

My latest.... a 66' with a 63' grill....
The Blue Leopard with its new look, a bunch of coils cut in the front and 2 inch blocks with 5 inch dropped coils in the back... all the work done by forum member "Kev's Classic's" :metal:
BTW.... I do not call this "PATINA" the sand down job was not my idea, this is good candidate for a paint job. :mm:

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

this is a true static drop .
I took out all the springs and bump stops so it's sitting bottomed out .
there is no driveshaft in it . the engine runs real good , im not shore what year it is
the valve cover don't have Chevrolet embossed on it
and it has a vent hose on the left front side of the valve cover.
the engine compartment wiring and dash wiring is totally trashed
so it won't even yard drive yet .
I just wanted it to look cool until I get a chance to start on it.
I picked up a complete 79 front 5 lug cross member and the 5 lug rear with highway gears. I got 2 eight inch 5 lug truck rallys for the back ,
now I want to find 2 seven inch 5 lug truck rallys for the front
I need to pancake the 79 cross member before I put it in and get some C notches
before I put some springs in it.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 

I took measurements on my truck today. As far as I know it hasn't been dropped at all. It's a 1966 GMC with rear leaf springs. Front from middle of rim to fender front was 19 inch and the rear was 22 inches.
