    Drop Question

    Here's what I got: 2/4 drop on a 95 C1500 reg cab. Spindles, hangars, shackles. A friend of mine wants to drop his truck like mine, He also wants to buy my hangars & shackles (no problem, I won't tell him after the 4" drop he's gonna want to do a 6" drop (flip kit) like what I'm planning on doing now). Question is my truck gonna look like sh*t with 2/6 drop. I don't have the funds to do the front right now. With winter just around the corner how gay is gonna look with 235/75/15.

    Any advise would really help out!!
    TIA

    huh? So you're going to drive around all winter with a 2/6 drop? Yeah, it'll look bad and you'll get tired of staring at the sky. All you need for the front is some coils. You should be able to pick some of those up for cheap cheap.

    You can find a nice set of coils for as low as $50 on ebay. I wouldn't ride a 2/6....it'll look crappy...not to mention you'll be looking at the stars like 1bad said. I'd either hold off on doing anything or go browse ebay for a 2" coil drop (eibach, DJM, or BellTech ideally).

    That's what I thought guys. But it was a shoot in hell to ask.
    If I do decide to do this I will definitely post pics, so maybe we all get a good laugh!:kidding: I'm still gonna do this and search for 2" coils.

    Thanks Again

    Pull the bed off to get at everything better. It will save a lot of time. Be sure to install the grounds after the bed is put back on or the tail lights will not work.
