How's the ride on it? rough or ok? Any problems with turning and tire rub?

I love the stance of it, cheap and easy drop I think.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 
No tire rub at all.It has a good ride to it,considering how low it sits.Going Monday for a front alingment.Sure does take a curve alot better now.

I had my truck posted before but I did not like the angle of the picture. This is the best picture I have of it.

1984 GMC Sierra. AirRide Tech Strong Arms up front and AirRide Tech universal 4 bar in back.

I have never found wheels I like for this truck so for the time being I have the factory 15x6 steelies and 225/70 on the front and 255/70 on the back. I need a shorter tire up front.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 
Hi G-old,

What exactly are the sizes of that rims and tires you got on your great truck ? (width, backspacing, manufacturer) ????
What kinda parts did you use to drop it that way (spindles, springs, shackles ...).

I would appreciate getting any more information bout your truck !!!

Thanks a lot,

Rob

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 
My suggestion is slam it with a dropmember and get some sweet coys or CL205s in 20/22s

Nice original truck there.
