Re: new 5.5-7.5 drop pics

That's a great looking truck, I copied lolife99 and leddzepp too. I don't think I'd ever do a 4/6 again, the 5.5/7.5 is just a perfect stance.

Re: new 5.5-7.5 drop pics

Looks killerAre you still running your factory control arms up front? If so, did you have enough threads on your upper control arms to get your camber correct? Sorry for all of the questions but I also did a 4/6 drop and want to go lower. Thanks!

Re: new 5.5-7.5 drop pics

Nice truck. ..bad a$$ stance. As for anyone having clearance or rubbing issues, I had the same problem and so I gave cpp modular spindles a try and I was really satisfied with the results. Of course I had removed the inner fenders but I'm pretty sure I can put them back on now.

The tire size is a closely guarded secret...

Looks awesome, perfect stance. I'm definitely going this route, thanks for the pics. I have 2 1/2" spindles/2" springs up front with 5" springs out back. I already have 1" block kit but I'm gonna need to get 3" front springs and 2" blocks...

Thanks for the pics, great reference. Been looking for a long time for pictures that show this much of a static drop.

Mike
