Re: How about some pics of lowered long beds
Quote:
I went with a 2/3 spring drop and then added 1" lowering blocks. I did install adjustable pan hard bar also at that time. Then had the alignment done. The reason why I did it that way was to minimize the amount of single spring drop in the rear so I would not have to relocate the shocks. I have 275/60/15 size tires on 8" wide wheels. It's not slammed down like most folks do, but it has a great stance and I prefer the Ol school look of this drop. On a long bed it actually looks lower than it is compared to my SWB stepper that has a 3/5 drop. It rides like a dream. Super smooth ride. Actually, the best riding vehicle I have out of 6 that I own.

1972 Cheyenne Super, my daily driver!
Was lowered with springs when I purchased it. Not sure on the specs.

If I were to do my 3/4 ton lower that is what I would wish it to look like. I do use mine for work and play so I will bump up the front to level it as I have added Hellwig Helper Springs to carry more in back... When I first acquired the vehicle the back had the standard stance with the leaf springs. |
