Rene those 3 trucks sure look good with the slots on em. Reminds me of my first truck. 8 & 10" polished ET's. The 3/5 drop looks to be the all around best drop. Well IMO. ;)

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

i love those slots rene! i would like to find me a set when i get some cash!

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

Rene, will you STOP posting pics with these sweet slot mags!!! You're killing me here. I LOVE slot mags and would love to get a set that correctly fit. I want the set on that teal truck... okay I'll take the truck too. :D

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

Well guys,come to the C/10 Bash on Oct. 10th,and I might let you talk me out of a set.;)

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

Yeah... I'm thinking before I drive 400+ miles to Atwater... we would need to be much further along then "might let you talk me out of a set". :hm:

At least I know who is hoarding all of the truck slot mags out there. :D

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

Shoot, I got 15" slot mags on mine right now and want ones like are on the yellow and white pickup. Anyone want to trade me? ;) They are 6 lug...so when you are thinking of trading... ;)

Hey Boss Hogg 69, sizes are 255/45/18 and 285/55/20........Rick

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

What size tires are on your truck?

Sorry I should have read all the posts before I asked as I see you have already answered my question.

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

Hey threeontree. I have a 69 chevy short bed 2WD C10. I replaced my stock front drums and a-arms with a set off a 86 GMC 1/2ton with disc brakes. Think I paid 250 for everything also came with sway bar, power steering and tie rods. Everything bolt up nice. Could be a cheaper route for ya!

What would the ride difference be between 1" coil/2" drop spindles and just using a 3" drop coil?

I was wondering if I would need to notch my frame for 3/5 or the 4/6 stance.

Mines never bottomed out , no c notch

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

When I did my 69, I did 4" springs and 2" drop blocks on the rear. My axle housing was about 1/2" away from the frame rails. Due to that and how it sat too low for my liking, I ended up removing the drop blocks. But I know a few other guys that are running 6" drop springs and have no problems.

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

Ok so just spring I should be good. Thanks

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

Here's mine with a 3"/5" with CPP coils, shocks, and relocation brackets

and it's unsafe. Common practice but being an idiot is also a common practice. Spend $269.00 for ECE 2.5 in drop spindles and another 114.00 for drop springs.
Much better than winning a 'Darwin' for being too penurious.

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

Cutting is fine if you know what you're doing... same rule as for everything else in life. In these threads I almost never hear anyone talking about checking for coil bind at full compression or about checking preload of the spring installed and at full extension, etc.

Heres Mine, 3.5 / 5"

Oh Man, I guess I'm better at fixing trucks than working this internet thing. For picture, see picture on the left.

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

2nd try.

Re: pics of trucks witha 3/5 drop?
 

Can anyone with a 5 drop in the rear please tell me what shocks your using? Ive already installed the relocation bracket just need to figure the shocks out.
