Early classic 6" drop springs along with an EC adj. panhard bar and shock relo kit, Hellwig sway bar out back. KYB drop shocks all around. Later model PS, PB and front discs. Auburn posi. Poly cab mounts. Handles great.

Do you have any frontend pics lowered? I have the cpp 3" springs up front and gonna put 2 inch droped spindles up front just wanna know what is the clearance from ground to frame. Thanks for you help.

Hey Blue, it's going to vary depending on your tire size. Originals truck doesn't look like 5'' to me, but the front tire could be smaller than it looks. I'm running 275/40/18's on my shorty and it will barely clear a 2x4 like vin showed. Tire is roughly 26.5'' in diameter. I used 3'' springs and 2.5'' spindles.
