Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

The drop wasn't bad, the brakes were a pain(4 wheel disk) and I had to bring in some help for that part. Turns out some of the parts I got off of the classifieds had some issues and I ended up needing to replace the front rotors, one rear caliper and the booster. Lesson learned.

I will be getting the interior put back together soon and I need to get the right side exhaust run as it had to be cut for the panhard bar. These tires were on the truck when I bought it and they are toast. They are 255/60's I may go just a little bigger front and rear but not much as I have zero rubbing or clearance issues. I would love to hear thoughts on the best size to run.

I also plan to paint the rally's a darker gray and hopefully get some sort of buff out of this horrible 80's repaint.

These pics aren't great but I was in a hurry as I'll be off the grid for the next 5 days.

Looks great.

Love the stance, great job

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

Thanks Keith! It was fun to get behind the wheel of this one again, the sbc 400/700r4 is much more fun than the 250/3OTT. :D

I'll get some better pics next week.

I have the ~same drop..running 295/60 in the rear and 235/70 up front. I went with the 70s up front for a little more LCA ground clearance. iF I had to do it over I would go with 215/70 in the front. Here's a shot when I was sporting Rallys.

Looks perfect!

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

Cool!

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

Perfect stance! It looks muscular!!! :metal::metal::metal:

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

2 words. Just right. 😉

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

I think the drop with those wheels and tires looks really good. Nice stance.

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

You nailed it! Great combo with tire size.

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

Did the same drop on mine ( my avatar)

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

Great looking truck. I think that's just the right amount of drop for one of these trucks. Mine's about the same except a leaf spring flip in the rear that nettted 7" drop. I did go to 17's which my opinion is a must do. 235 55 17 in on 17x8 4.5" bs front and 275 55 17 rear on 17x9 5" bs 5 spoke Legends.

Nailed it!!

Great looking drop.

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

I like the stance, and that is where I would go with mine when the time comes..

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

Looks good:metal:

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

Nice stance, what kit did you go with?

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

Back to reality this week. Thanks for the comments.
Kit is ECE and the brakes are CPP.

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

Looks great. A 275 60 15 would look good.

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

My vote 255/60/15 fronts and 275/60/15 rears.

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

^^^YEP^^^

Stance is perfect.:metal:

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

I agree that the 255/60/15 is the way to go up front. I don't want clearance issues. I am leaning towards a 275/60/15 in the rear, I think it would fill the space just a bit better.

Thanks for the input!

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

Love it! That thing looks awesome!

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished
 

That looks great. Did you have to notch it and did the control arms clear the rims without modifying them?
