new 5.5-7.5 drop pics

well originally i bought the ece 4/6 kit but it was not low enough. so i swapped out some parts. i have ece drop spindles up front with 3" drop springs from cpp. and rear are 6" drop springs with 1.5 lowering blocks and a notch kit.
i really like how it turned out.

Very nice! That bad boy could pass for my buddy's twin. He opted to go with a red top instead of white also. When I opened this thread, I thought it was his for a minute.

Re: new 5.5-7.5 drop pics

thanks for all the positive feedback. no rubbing issues, my wheels up front are only 6" wide van rallies. rides pretty good, the 4/6 was smoother.

Re: new 5.5-7.5 drop pics

I put the same 4/6 kit on mine with the addition of a 1" block for the rear. It evened out the stance and no rubbing whatsoever.

You have one AWESOME looking TRUCK!!!
