Can I get a pic of a 3/4" drop please,.

I did the search and was overwhelmed. Should I go 3/4, or 3/5 on the stepside? Looking to not have to notch the frame.

Re: Can I get a pic of a 3/4" drop please,.

OK. 3/4 would give you some rake and the 3/5 would mostly level it. I am personally going 4.5/6 and probably bags in the future. I have a 2" front spring and a 4" rear sitting in the garage. I still need to purchase the ECE drop spindle, adjustable panhard bar, and 2" blocks. Hoping to have it done by June 9th for the Oklahoma Board meet.

Re: Can I get a pic of a 3/4" drop please,.

ECE suggests the Adjustable Panhard Bar for 4" or less drop and the Super Track Bar for 4" or more. I actually am purchasing the Super Track Bar not the other due to a 6" total drop.

Edit:
The Adjustable is $70 and the Super is $130.

2.5" drop spindles and 4" drop springs in the rear. I really like the look, but I think in the near future I might get 1" drop springs up front and heat the rear a little bit I'll be dragin' headers and frame

The first 2 are after the drop... The last is before!

Does that truck have leafs? It looks like coils. I thought all 3/4 tons had leafs. It looks really nice dropped like that, BTW.

Great looking truck! What size tires are those? I'm trying to make sure I get the right height tire, and that is pretty close.

Re: Can I get a pic of a 3/4" drop please,.

I'm running a 4/6 with no notch. I have more problems with the front hitting the fenderwell lips. I have never bottomed out the back end while driving but I don't drive like a DA either. I know my routes and where I can drive fast and where I cant.

Just finished mine recently. ECE Parts: 2.5" drop spindles, 4" drops in the back, Super Trac Bar, and Relocator Kit. Gives it a slight rake although it'll probably drop a little more as the springs settle.
