I did a Posies 3" drop front and rear springs kit and SIDS 2" drop axle. I'd like to get the back end down 2 more inches. Ideas? I think axle flop would be way too much.....

 

I love the front...just want the back lower by about 2"....help!!!

 

you should be able to get a couple inches moving the stationary mount at the front of the leaf spring up on the frame. also swap the rear shackle hanger side to side flipping them upside down. I would think that could get you 2". The other side to this is there will need to be new perches welded on the axle as these modifications will change the pinion angle.

 

Midfifties has a page in their online catalogue showing the options and the inches it will drop per each option. Check there and see if that will help.

 

Did the rear main leaf come with reversed eyes, if not get the main leafs eyes reversed and that will get you an additional 1-1 1/2 inch

 

watch the clearance from the axle tube to the frame. I am not an expert but i would want at least 3" of clearance

 

I think it looks great!

 

I think it looks okay too!

 

I also agree that the stance looks good. The only thing I would consider IMO would be to lower the running boards where the bottom of the boards are equal with the bottom of the fenders. That would give it an appearance of being lower, but that is just my thoughts I am sure many will disagree.

 

I agree with gerrymoe. Dropping the boards down the two inches on the fenders will give a lower stance appearance to the whole truck. Additionally, painting them body color, so they are not highlighted, will add to that appearance.

 

I didn't notice the running boards first time around, I agree that would be a big improvement as well as painting them the same colour of the truck.

 

Yeah the whole truck is getting painted flat charcoal grey so they will match the truck. That's later this year. I want the stance and everything else done, then paint. I'm gonna look into the reverse eye main leaf if that will give me some more drop?? Looking for easiest way to get that drop. I don't want to do an axle flop, I think that will be too low.

 

Got 18" wheels for it.

 

Believe it or not my running boards were made out of bleachers. They actually look perfect. The previous owner did an EXCELLENT job cutting the to match the body lines. Most people that look at the truck never even notice they aren't factory. Contemplating keeping them instead of buying stock replacement ones?

 

Hers my wheel I picked. 18" front and 20" rears
