Re: Lowering a gmc with leafs?

I went with the CPP dropped spindle disc conversion, I also went to a 5" on 5" bolt pattern and re-drilled my axles to the same pattern so I could run modern looking 5 lug wheels. Out back I flipped my set up by cutting off the perches and re-welded them to the same rear end. I set the pinion angle and welded it up. I had already had the stock springs re-arched so when I was done the rear end was just to low so I drilled out the rivets and remounted the front spring hangers 2 Inches lower on the frame, this raised the truck one inch.


this is with the dropped spindles and re-arched springs pre flip
