actually, you can cup the lower a-arms and that will get you down to a 5 or 6" drop in the front....

Love the look but wondering if the 9" wheel will rub on my step side?!?! or if I should just go 8". I have 10" smoothie wheels on the rear now and they stick out to far. (in my opinion) planning on a 4"x6" drop or something close, don't want to cut anything, and would still like to pull the boat once in a while.... (might have to bag the rear for that!) ramble on, ramble on!! lol
Slow poke; The rear wheels were made by stockton wheel.They did rub on the inside of the tub when the axle got off center like when crossing a ditch at an angle. To solve this problem I did extend the inside of the tubs 1.5 inch.

Thanks! IIRC it was 45%. I told the tint guy I wanted something that I wouldn't get hassled for in nearby states. It really helps keep the cab cool.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.

When switching to disc brakes in the front, are my rims going to fit?

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.

Not much of a drop yet. Only a 2" coil drop. Air ride is still a bit down the road. Stock steel on 235/75.

Thanks. I like the look of this old Sub. I did have some later 6 lug rallys on it. Not a bad look but it would rub a bit out back.

Nice pic! Looks like corvette rallys with deep trim rings and of course the center caps.

I assume you mean 6-lug wheels?
Get 71-87 4x4 wheels.
They will work with disc brakes.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.

Yeah, I want to stay 6 lug but I would like to stay with the stock 6" wheel with disks on the front if at all possible.... I know there are issues with the caliper hitting... might just stay with drums untill my boys get old enough to work on it with me....

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.

So you can run stock steels with front disc brakes? I think mine are 6.5" Will they work? My discs are 1973 heavy duty 1.25"...
