jondancer · 01-26-2015, 08:15 AM

5/7 drop here , I did the ece 4/6 drop for a year and then wanted lower. I have a cnotch and still have inner fenders. Rides good.

c10Dream'n · 01-26-2015, 05:56 PM

Here's mine with a ECE 4/6 kit and 1" lowering blocks. Tires are 255/55/17 with no rubbing issues. I had a c-notch installed as well.

Here's a side-by-side. ECE 4 1/2 (2 and 2 1/2 spindles) and 6. No lowering blocks. Running 20's. No c-notch.

I like your wheels better.

leftybass209 · 01-26-2015, 07:26 PM

Those of you on 15's, what is the clearance like? I love the look but I'm worried about it scraping on everything because it's going to be driven often.

BugzC10 · 01-26-2015, 08:22 PM

I switched to 70 series tires from 50 series to gain extra ground clearance in the front. With the 50s there was about 1-1.5" clearance below the LCA. I picked up an additional ~2" with the 70s.

magwakeenercew2jh · 01-26-2015, 08:23 PM

Here's a *little* more accurate P-Shop of the side-by-side"

HSRACER · 01-26-2015, 11:48 PM

4.5 and seven rear with c notch.

Still have inner fenders. But does it rub a lot?

jondancer · 06-24-2018, 11:45 AM

5/7 does not rub The inner fenders becuase I have 6” wide rally wheels in the front . Iv used this setup on two different 67-72.

**leddzepp** · 06-24-2018, 11:53 AM

Mine does not rub either. I have 7” rallies in front with a 215 70 tire. All other wheels/tire combos I’ve tried DO rub (including the American racing ones I posted above a few years back)

**CC69Rat** · 06-24-2018, 08:30 PM

5/7 with BBC. 73-87 Front K-member swap and the early axle housing

Front wheels are 20x8.5 with 5 3/8 Backspace. The rears are 20x10 with 5" Backspace. 255/45/20 and 295/45/20. It is C-Notched.

Which axle are you running on this setup? And is it stock width or did you have it narrowed?

Old thread but I love this stance with the rallye’s. Do you happen to remember what width, back spacing and tire size you ran here? Looks like you said 7” up front with a 215 70 tire.
Thanks!

josephuta214 · 11-17-2022, 10:23 PM

Hello what size tires are you running on the rallys with that 5/7 drop? I have 3" springs 2" spindles getting installed up front and I'm wondering if my 275/60/15 are going to fit. Thanks! Nice Truck!

I'm betting a 275mm wide 28" tall front tire will be an issue.
