How we roll. (Suspension setups)

I would like to make a stickie for guys to see how we are running our suspension. I would like you guys to post in here but NO WHORING PLEASE. I will move them to chronological order according to year as we go along. Here is how I would like you to post.

Self explanatory



Post a picture preferably one side shot.
Post a link to your garage.
Post a link to a build thread or thread about your vehicle if there is one.


Thanks guys. This should help the new guys out, and probably some of the og's.

And it's not just for bagged trucks also static and lifted.

'77 GMC C30

Western Chassis 6/8-but it's more like 6/10-ish

Front:
3" Drop Spindle
3" Drop Coil
stock shocks

Rear:
Flip Kit
2" Shackle
shorter shocks (sorry, no P.N.)

Wheel/Tire Size:
16" stockers
(6) 225/75/16

The kit's pretty self-explanatory. Went on with minimal headaches. Western Chassis/Sport Truck Direct were real easy to deal with. I ended up removing the inner fenders and cutting a small hole in my bed to clear the pumpkin. I suspect if I didn't run the drop shackles, I wouldn't have had to cut the bed, but there ain't no getting around the inner fenders with this amount of drop. You're going to rub up front. A mini-tub would have been sufficient, but I opted to just yank them out entirely.

It's a real streetable drop. I use it as my daily so it get a lot of miles put on it. I haven't had any problems since I yanked the inners and cut the bed.

I'll definitely run this drop again on my next rig. Although next time, I think I'll run some helper bags as well.

*UPDATE* I raised the rear end up an inch on the shackles while I had the bed off. It kept me from having to cut a hole in my new bed. So far, so good.
