trainhorn22 · 07-16-2008, 08:12 AM

i got a question i was wondering if i just took my facory coil springs on my silverado and cut about 2" off tham would it work for lowering my truck i was gonna lower it 2 in frunt and 5 rear so it sits good

Cutting 2" off a spring will result in a LOT more than 2" drop just so you know.

Also, cutting springs results in a fairly harsh ride in most cases.

before

after

I've properly aligned the body and box with new bushings and fabricating some new cab mounts. Also the truck sits high at the front because I have the 4.3L engine. A relative has given me a '68-'69 327 with a forged crank and four bolt mains out of a corvette? nova?

I've had some rubbing/grinding issues with the LCA and it hitting the wheel balancing weights on the wheel. I will eventually put some bigger wheels on it and that should solve that problem. Then a quick coat of paint and I'm ready for a new truck.

gmctrucks · 09-05-2008, 09:18 AM

Bad picture but I bought like this back in 1993 fade job, wheels and so on.

Yea that's my truck in my avatar.

454ci big block 2 bolt mains, rectangular port heads, pete jackson gear drive, demon 750, ceramic coated headers, all ARP hardware, moroso pan, moroso electric pump, torker intake, hi-torq mini starter

I was working on fabbin' up my own rollpan but decided that it would be best if I sent it out to get it done.

I am located about two hours north of Toronto. I need bucket seats in GOOD shape, and pretty much any/all plastic dash pieces that are blue to match.
