I found this square on google, and i fell in love, does anybody know how much it's lowered, what kind of rims those are, or just anything about the truck?

It's an 81-87, looks to be lowered about 6/8, possibly bagged, and those might be Budnick wheels.

 

[HotRodPC]

Yeah, it's a lot more than a 2/4 drop. I'd be willing to suggest bagged too.

out of pure luck i found an article on this truck on the reader's rides in truckin magizine, say's it's lowered 13 inches more than stock, but no exact front rear lower numbers. I'm guessing i would have to do a c notch on mine, and a 4 link, but i don't want to run bags. is there anyway i could use front and rear adjustable coil overs to get the height just like this?

 

[J Knight]

As far as I know if you want to run coilovers in the front you will need Mustang II front suspension and the rear you will need some type of 4 link set up. Also you will need to bridge the frame in the rear and remove the front inner fenders.

I guess lowering is like lifting. The higher the better, but the lower the better. I personally think Squares look good with a 2/4 lowering kit, and with that, you shouldn't have any real problems and it's cheap and easy compared to bagging and C notching.

can you tell if the rear has leaf springs? it looks like it has a hanger so i don't think it has a link and c notch.

 

[J Knight]

If you want to lower your truck a lot on leafs you need a flip kit(5in), drop shackles and hangers(4in), remove the short and overload leafs(2in). 5+4+2=11in. To do this you will need to bridge the frame above the rear end and cut the bed floor.

I'm goin with a porterbuilt 4 link set up, but was just wondering if it was just me that thought that this truck has rear leafs.

 

[J Knight]

I blew up the pic and it looks to still have the leaf springs on it. The shackles are standing straight up with what looks like the leaf attached.

 

[Joshua8336]

k thanks! i think i'm just gunna do coil overs, porterbuilt is making a coil over drop member soon, might invest in that. I've heard nothing but great things from porterbuilt.

 

[J Knight]

Me too, porterbuilt is supposed to be the **** to get. I'm realy liking their trailing arm kit, is like to install that for the improved ride.

COuld what you are seeing as leaves be a rear facing link set up where the lower links facr fowards and the rear links face back. Ive seen it done before just wondering.
