Gotsta Lower the Burb!

[74 Shortbed]

Well, since I have to wait for parts for the tranny, figure I may as well get a head start on the next phase, the way it sits now it needs to come down 3"-3 1/2" max front and rear to keep the same stance, but that's with 30yr old springs and leafs that has sagged quite a bit by now, so what I was wondering does anyone know what the factory height is from the spindle to the fender lip??, I want to put new coils and leafs on and if I knew the original height, that would make it a lot easier to figure what I'll need to get it down to where I want it which is just above the tire... Thanks..

BTW, the funky flaps are long gone, lol..

Argh. I miss my green/beige Burb. And I won't ever get it back because the new owners like it too much. And they spray painted it black anyway.

Sorry I pooped in your thread. Please leave yours green, lol.

That's ok, everyone else will, lol. Don't worry I intend on leaving it green, in fact it'll be ALL green..

Ignore the highlighted part. Ground to top of rear load floor should give rear height

Back half it, it’s a 2 wheeler might as well

If it was a hot rod I'd be tempted but it's a just a cruiser, in fact it was supposed to replace the beater but it's too nice for that, lol, but I don't want to sink a bunch of money into it either..

You going to have it all the dark green, or go over the gold in a lighter shade of green?
