Here’s my ‘77 lowered with 2” spindles + 2.5” springs and flipped in the rear with stock 3 pack leafs. It’s on 15x8 fronts with 245/60R15s and 15x10 rears with 275/60R15s

Good looking truck!
It will be asked: How was the drop done? What are your parts specs/tech info?

Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?
 
front:
3" spindles
1 coil cut off stock springs
2" sectioned crossmember with 3 degrees of caster added
no limit rack and pinion (do not use bad bump-steer)
inner fenders raised

rear:
stock long leafs
flip kit
4" shackles/hangers
small c notch

I drive this truck every day and ride quality is pretty good.

I like these truck rallys more than my corvette rallys.
