How are you going to prevent ruining your front tires with that much camber?

[grantos]

When i air it up the tires straighten out.

Alright heres some fresh meat for you to chew on....keep in mind its in the build stage and heres the specs so far and whats planned for it
SO FAR:

bagged with a 2 1/2" c notch with Pbar mod, 265/70/15..... up front the stock lca are cupped with 5180 monroe shocks bump/steering stops are gone 235/75/15's

the parts get here tomorrow for this

rear rallies cut and widened from 8 to 12" for the new 18.5x30x15's... new bed thats getting a tub job moving Pbar to trailing arms and flip the shock mounts for better travel and angle..this will be part of the rear axle swap to ditch the 308's for a set of 373's

the front is getting a chop job on the spare X member while the mouse motor (327) gets a new set of Vortecs and a 470 lift cam
your going to have to forgive the pics the last one was before the LCA got there new short shocks and new rear sneakers
check my build for more pics and yes its still a truck

Bob, what wheel/tire setup are you running on your truck. I really dig what you have done to yours. Thanks for the help.

[Cisco714]

I lowered the rear of my 3/4 ton gmc 4" by pulling 4 leaves out of the 10 leaf pack. If yours is 1/2 ton I think they have 5 or 6 leaves, you can experiment with how much drop you will get by pulling different combos of leaves out, then bolt it bac together when you get it where you want it.

Here are some other threads about dropping with a leaf rear:

You could also go with a flip kit if setting pinion angle and welding up spring saddles doesn't scare you. It will get you about 5-7" without affecting ride/payload, but may require a c-notch.

Heres my work in progress!!

[Beat68CST]

So is 3" safe on the rear with blocks on a coil spring 3/4ton?

Could I go further? Or would I need to go less?

It really depends on you're wheel/tire size. If your running 15" wheels with short tires it may be pushing it. You have to consider "scrubline", which is the height that the truck would sit if you got a flat tire. If the block is so thick that it makes the trailing arm sit below the lip of the wheel and you were driving and got a flat that means your trailing arm and ubolts would be dragging the ground. This would make a bad situation (flat tire) even worse as you were sliding down the road. However if you have a taller wheel 18+" with taller tire you can get away with more because your scrubline is greater/lower. I know it is regular practice to use a 2" block and I have seen some use 3". It just depends on what wheels/tires you're running.

[Beat68CST]

16.5 wheels with like a 30" tire, around there.
