This is a lmc 4/6 with about a full coil cut off both fronts, and 2 more inches of block out back. The truck is my daily, and besides the occasional lower scrape, i have no complaints.

Re: Lowered 73-87 Short Beds
i hate to do any cutting to the frame...not shying away, but perhaps something along the lines of a 3/5 combo would be the next best way to go without doing any torching to the frame. unless you can still get the 4/6 without cutting(granted it wont be a work truck anyway) decisions decisions..

Re: Lowered 73-87 Short Beds
do a 4/5 it will look good. no cutting needed. but it will hit the frame sometimes when halling a load.

My '74 is about 6/8. I can't take the credit for the drop, as Scoti did it when it was his DD. I drive it to work a couple times a week, and it rides really well, though.

Re: Lowered 73-87 Short Beds
Here's mine, it's a 4/4 with shackles/hangers out back and up front is 2.5" spindles and 1 coil cut off the factory springs. Tires are 275/60/15 all around. I wanted to retain a little rake and it turned out good I think.

Western 2.5" drop spindles in front and McGaughy's 4" drop hangers and shackles in rear. 15"x8" Rally wheels wrapped in 255-70s Firestone Firehawks. No issues with rubbing and the truck can still carry a load.

Re: Lowered 73-87 Short Beds
Here is my 74 that is a 3.0/5.0 drop. It is not a flip kit (don't like cut frames for towing), it started as a heavy half. I used 3" Belltech front spindles and 4" drop rear shackles then pulled out 3 leafs from the 8 leaf rear springs.
