Wanted to get everyones opinion on this.

My truck is a 99 silverado 1500 fleet side. I have a 6.0 back by a t56 and 4:56 gears on Silverado SS wheels.

I dropped the truck 4" in the rear with drop leaps.

The front is stock. I used a 3" drop spring with offset bushings in the control arms to get a good chamber reading.

My shocks are just basic drop shocks from Summit and DJM.

Any advice on making the ride a little softer. Are there better shocks or combos?

Truck is very fun to drive and handles good.

My alignment is almost 6 on caster and camber is something I cant remember the tires are almost standing straight up and the toe is almost 0.

 

Stock springs with drop spindles would ride way better I think.

Stock leafs with hangers and shackles rode like stock in my sierra. With MC drop shocks.

 

Sorry, I mis spoke. I have a hanger and shackle kit on the truck. I was thinking about the s-10.

The ride is a little harsh, just wondering if anyone had a idea to have a nice drop but still ride smooth like a factory ride.

 

I had edelbrock IAS shocks when had that drop

 

Those are on sell at Summit for like 20 bucks. Cheaper than the Summit brand.

 

I guess some run those shock extenders and run factory style shocks. Just curious is there is a better lowering shock than others.

 

I had the edelbrock ias' as well and liked them on my SSS.

 

Hey man I'm just starting to build a 01 1500 like yours and Ive been looking at different drops, I also want to run ss wheels and was wondering how your truck looked with the 3/4 drop? Could you post some pics?

 

I dont think I have that ability.

With a 3/4 drop and silverado ss 20 inch wheels the drop has be described as perfect by lots of people.
