66 How Low can you go.

[rhill]

I'm just starting a '66 C10 fleetside, short bed project. How low can I go using drop spindles / springs, front and back with out major mods/expense to the truck. I'm going disc conversion for sure.
Thanks in advance.

Be advised that even this low will limit what you can carry, if you`re using your truck as such, limit you`re drop to 4/3, but its you`re truck...!

Thanks, great info..
I wonder how tall a tire I could actually go with this set up. I like the look of the front wheel above the fender line as the back is....

mine is 4/3 with a 28 inch tire....275/60/15 on all four corners.

Welcome to the forum Rhill! Got any photos of your truck?

For what its worth: On my step-side I am running 33x12.5x15 rear tires, fronts are 235-75-R15. Unknown front drop (guesstimating 3") and a 4" rear drop. Check out my build thread below for additional information.

McGaughy's worthy?

Ordered McGaughy's front disc brake conversion with drop spindles. I believe they lost my order. Now being shipped later than expected. kind of disappointing. I'm hoping they send the right stuff.
Anyone else ever use them?
