Need Some Info with this Drop
So currently on my 67 I am running a 5.5 front and 7 rear drop. This is achieved with 5 inch drop springs and 2 inch blocks in the rear, 3 inch springs and 2.5 inch CPP disc brake spindles in the front. I am using the CPP tubular control arms in the front as well, stock crossmember.
How have yall gotten around the inner fender issue? I have stock replacement inner fenders, but man its close, which I knew would be close but not this close. I assume I will need to section the inner fenders and move them up. I also assume I would need to move the battery, is that true? Can I get some pictures of how everyone is going about doing this? Id rather not buy a set of aftermarkets since Ive already got some factory style ones. |

Common solutions are no fender wells, sectioned & raised stock stuff, or aftermarket fabricated pieces. |

If I were a betting man, I'd bet the most common front tire height ranges from 27-28" max. 27" would likely clear stock wells & anything taller is where mods or the aftermarket stuff comes into play. A 215/75 or 225/70 15" tire puts you around 27.4-27.5" front tire height. Some guys run short (<27" up front) tires & have no clearance issues, but the combo doesn't look right to me as I like the wheel opening filled vs a large gap/space. |
Re: Need Some Info with this Drop
With that drop you should stay 27" and under.. a 255/60 is around 27.. and it minimizes wheel gap.. just depends on the wheel type and look that your going for..
