Hello all. This is my first post on here. My wife is the original owner of a 94 c1500 base… well technically she’s the second owner… she walked over to the neighbors house in a bikini and sweet talked him into selling her the truck, with less than 1k on the odo, with her “life savings…” which I believe was around $5k…
So anyways I was forced to start driving this truck about 12 years ago when money was tight and I had to sell my car. Flash forward 12 years… I’m still daily driving this truck to this day (just with a lot more grey hairs) and not because I have to anymore…
Well my wife has finally given me the clear to have a little fun with it. It still with be my daily, but I have another truck now I can use while it’s down.
After looking at every picture I can find I think I’d like to do a 3/6 drop on this truck and fit it with 20inch wheels (hot Rod look and style), I want to see a good bit of rubber (tire) over the rim. The truck has all new steering components, new upper and lower a-arms (new ball joints) and wheel bearings.
Is there a good company that makes a 3/6 kit? If not what components would you get to make this happen (remember it’s my daily and it’ll be getting a 5.3 LS swap too). I really want a good handling, well mannered setup.
If you have pictures of your own truck (or any truck really) that has a 3/6 drop could you please post them? It’s a bit unique (at least when google searching for pictures anyways) so I want to be sure that the stance is the same as what I think I’ve seen in searching.
Based on what I said about the look of the tires, which size would you buy so they don’t rub? I can do a little grinding or rolling if needed too.
Think that’s it for now…
Thanks
