[bobster79]

I have a 84 Chevy Silverado that is 100 percent stock. i want to drop it just can't decide on 2.5/4 drop or 4.5/6 drop. i will be running P275/60/15 tires on truck. Any pics would be of help. Thanks and have a great day.

You would probably be better off with a 3.5/5 drop running 275/60/15 tires on the front.

I have a 4.5 / 5 drop with 275/60/15 on 8" wheels all the way around.

I have no problems rubbing. I do take it slow turning into a couple places that has a big dip, but most fo the time every thing is fine.

on your 4.5/5 drop Lugnut what kit did you go with or how did you achieve your drop. Do you think i can get away with running the P275/60/16 tires all way around with 4.5/6 drop. Sorry so dumbfounded just want to do mine right the first time. Thanks

Spindles and springs up front and axle flip in the rear. I had a weak leaf spring in the rear so I had my rear springs re-arched and a leaf added at a local shop. That added about an inch so it ended up with a 5" drop in the rear.

I didn't buy a kit just used parts that I had for some old projects that never got used.

As far as the 275/60/16 I'm not sure compare the OD difference between the 15's and 16's.

sorry meant 15's

Mine....with 20×8 up front and 20x10 in the rear. First pic is before body work and final paint...second pic after body work and paint. 4.5 front...6 back


Spindles and springs up front, c-notch, axle flip , drop shackles and overload springs removed from the rear. I did have to remove the stock fenderwells and fab my own due to the offset of the front wheels.

Looks great. I love the style of wheels on it.

My son has been trying to talk in to 20's and I like the way they look, but I'm still a little to old school I guess.

I think a 17 is a good compromise but my opinion could be biased. I like the size on my truck, I'm working on air ride though an I might change to 20s then if I ever have the money to

I like it. I have been thinking of running staggered 17's /18's on it. I like a little hot rod rake to
