Hot Rods Tri Five Wagon Lowering .... How did you do it? Post a pic and info.

I've getting a '55 Chevy 2 Door Handyman soon and I'd like to give it a really low stance without going through the trouble and expense of bags. I'm curious what you other guys have done. Thanks for the help! I look forward to seeing everyone else's wagons!

 

2 in. dropped spindles with 2 in. lowered coils that I cut 1 more coil out of, and 3 in. blocks with saggy leafs.

 

That looks killer, any other pics? Any issues with being that low?

No issues besides the occasional scrape on sped bumps and drive ways. Been running it like this for 20+ years.

 

Posie dropped rear springs, plus 1" blocks and lowering coils only, in the front. Still debating with myself on dropped spindles or not. Leaning towards leaving it for now.

 

Are yall running 14 or 15's ?

The only thing I did to my 57 wagon is 165-80x15 front tires. It sits extremely low

 

Lowering blocks & cut the springs !

 

anyone else ?

Don't currently have a better pic but this is our wagon w 2" lowering coils with a full coil cut out and 15' 205 70's. Not low enough for my taste but it rides ok. Posies super sliders and flipped spring shackles & air shocks out back. Rides good but beats the rear bumpstops up in a couple years.

2” dropped spindles 2” springs 3 “ dearched springs in rear without overload spring rode good

 

Paul, I'd describe your car's stance as "pissed off" and trust me, that's a compliment.

 

Appreciate the compliment Highlander!

 

3" front drop springs from a 61 impala, (Because I had them from an old build)and 2" drop leafs from Dan Chuk, Rides and drives like new,

 

Loving the new stance. Spindles and coils up front, 3” blocks out back.
