Chisholm does not make the LCAs anymore and won't, believe me, i've tried to talk them into it. search the board for "lowered or dropped" terms i nthe truck forum only. lots of stuff already discussed. I just posted and plan to add dak dropped spindles to my Chisholm two inch dropped springs. later, JP in Kansas.

The best way is to take a 2" long X 6"round piece of pipe & weld it to the spring pocket on the bottom of the lca. Take a torch or a plasma cutter & cut the pocket out from the inside. Weld 4 angle iron tabs to the bottom of the pipe & weld the piece that you cut with the torch inside the pipe. Use the pieces of angle to weld braces to.

Any of you guys with the 2" drop lower control arms, can you post a picture of the chisholm arm?

I just got a truck, and its reported to have the 2" drop arms on it, but they look pretty normal to me.

Are there any identifying characteristics, like the pocketed arms?

Re: Lets see some picks of your lowered Trucks - 11/12/07 10:20 PM

I had to move the lower control arm mounting points in so it would align.It rides pretty good but im not comfortable with cutting that much of the springs.So im going to try the bouchillon arms.I have a fresh set of coils to install. Ill take one round out and see what happens.I want the front suspension to be solid on this truck because Id like to daylight the front tires on launch when its finished.

I'm going to build another set using the layout that I described. The 1st set I used too small of diameter pipe. I'll be building another set soon & will be perfecting the shortcomings of the 1st set. I'll take step by step pics when I build them. The 1st set worked but the spring would hang on the edge of the pocket & pop or make the truck sit uneven. I cut away & tried to make it stop but after it did stop there was no way to make it look good & some strength had been lost. I'm building something else too & I'll take pics of it too. Where's the mad scientist smiley?

Mark,
Your truck looks great now,but i want one from that Factory. I'd just have to buy another house,i don't think it would go over my curb and down the driveway.
I've been trying to figure out how low my 95 extended cab could go without scraping.2 full coils i think would be too much,on an ext cab,atleast in my drive.

Hotchkis TVS, 2/3 drop. Gonna do 1" blocks in the rear to level it out. Gotta see how the new setup sits first, since I'm shedding some weight off the front end, might need to cut a lil coil with the blocks.

If your springs are the originals, the problem may be due to their condition. When I put my 2"lca's on my 85 the original springs had so much sag that I was instantly bottomed out on the bump stops. Bought some stock replacement springs thru NAPA (this was in 97) and all was right w/the world lol.

My 87. Front coil springs from Coil Spring Specialties. Custom pair for $160. He took the engineering specs for a stock set and made it 2" shorter. Same spring rate, which is perfect for me. The ride/handling is just where I want it.

The only issue is I had a 1/2" sag on the driver's side before and after. Coil Spring Specalties is aware of this common problem. Sometimes they make a taller spring for the driver's side. They are willing to take my passenger side spring and fix it when I find the time to remove it and send it back.

The rear is the stock leaf spring stack dearched with an extra leaf under the main and a long pair of BellTech lowering shackles. This set up sucks bad. I have major wheel hop and wheelspin in the rain will knock my shifter out of 2nd.
Also sure I've ruined the load carrying capacity.

For the rear, I plan on grinding the rivets off the stock hangers and bolting them on the frame in a new spot to allow for a pair of Super Stock springs.

Ill try to get some bigger pics. I used my phone for the ones posted. nHave you thought about using chevy lowering shackles, I here they work very well(bolt in) and your spring rate stays the same.
