Looking to lower my 84 need ideas

[Chevymanforlife]

Need some ideas post your lowered trucks with some specs like how you lowered it springs,spindles,flip ect ect with tire specs

This one has 3" coils up front and a flip, tires are 27" tall, I bought it this way when it goes back together it'll have 2 1/2" spindles and 1" coils and a flip, keeping it the same stance.

Yeah I know, but according to Western Chassis the same spring is used for both, I kinda wonder about that though??, but according to all the weight charts I see BB is a 110lbs more, so if I put the front end on a diet, shouldn't be too hard to get rid of a 100lbs or close to it I would think, but it's all just theory ******** and I'm sure I'll end up taking it apart a hundred times before I get it right, lol.. But right now I gotta figure what I need to do to drop JGG, wife dropped the hint a couple days ago, lol..... But anyhow, I'm sure the OP has a SB so it should give him something to think about..

Mine is bagged front and rear. Rear consists of a parallel fourlink in the back, bridged and notched rear frame. I have 20x8 front wheels and 20x12 rear. Front inner fenders removed, rear stock tubs remain.


I will post pics once the sun is out again..


Before my truck was bagged. I had a 5 front, 7 rear static drop consisteing of 3 inch drop coils, 2 inch spindles......and rear flip kit, 2 inch drop shackles and the overload leaf removed. I also had a mini notch in the back as well.

84 c1500 3"front 4" rear drop. I used the DJM spindles up front with stock springs and the DJM shackles/mounts in the rear with stock springs. I did not flip the rear. I still haul loads and pull a 6000lb boat so I didnt want to go too low. It rides and tows great.
