PPV 2" Drop From NorcalSS

[blownspyder]

Parts:
Belltech 1-2 Struts (No spacers)
Belltech Shocks
Belltech 2" Springs

Results:
2" drop on all 4 corners
Much tighter ride
Decreased body roll
No change in comfort level with crew and associated payload

 

[guy from norcal]

Looks low for only 2" drop.
Very nice.

 

[992dr]

If you have 2" drop coils and no spacers on your struts, you have a 4" drop up front.

Lookin good

 

[blownspyder]

Thanks @guy from norcal

@992dr - stock ppv coils, just belltech struts and didn't utilize any spacers. Pre/post measurements = -2". Is this still considered a 4" drop?

 

[blownspyder]

Clarificarion: Belltech springs in the rear only.

Thanks @guy from norcal

[guy from norcal]

You should have used the 10mm ring. That will give you a 2'' drop from your struts. If you didn't use any rings,That might be closer to a 2 3/4" drop with the struts.

What is your fender to ground measurements.

 

[Fosscore]

Nice stance.

Since you had the coils in it previously, you are only measuring the 2" drop from the struts.

Yes, In total between the struts and the PPV coils, your total drop is 4" or there about

 

[blownspyder]

Stock fender to ground:

Front = 34"
Rear = 35.5"

After mods:

Front = 32"
Rear = 33.5"

Im using the 25003-008 struts, so my kit came with (8) 8mm spacers.

Per Belltech Spacer Table ....

"Lowering Height 2" - Number of Rings To Put On Strut = 0"
(meaning no rings)

You're welcome!

LOL! I know what you mean. My Burb was on the back burner for a while when I picked up my Forester, but I'm back to working on it and I want to get it dropped. Between this thing and my C10, I'm always working on something.

Ah, awesome, same size tires I have. I may have some questions for you when I get everything ordered.

This is where I am currently. I need to get those PPV center caps!

I love me some dropped Burb, just looks so clean with the long low lines. Plus, you don't see them very often if ever.

Oooooh, now that you brought it up do you have any pics of the C10? Always been a fan of the C10.

Don't hesitate, I'm usually around and always willing to help out when I can.

Looks great man. Diggin it. Did you get all the side windows tinted? I need to tint my pretty bad.

Yeah, thanks man, I'm really looking forward to getting it down. I never see dropped Burbs and I really love the look of the PPVs so I figured I'd copy it. Yessir, 5% tint on the sides and rear.

Yeah, I have some pics of the C10 on my PC at home. I'll get them uploaded. I guess I need to start a couple of build threads. LOL!

Very nice. Mine is at 33 3/4 front. But is also a 4wd, With Mcgaughys 2" spindles. I didn't have auto ride so i used the 10mm spacer. Auto ride is no spacers.

 

[blownspyder]

Thanks for the compliments..

@992dr - I saw your suspension write-up and knew I couldn't get that sophisticated. My results were good tho.

@guy from norcal - Went back and added a ring up front. Its perfect now.

@SidewaystheSeven - I like your project. Are you going to be carrying heavy loads?

 

[SidewaystheSeven]

@SidewaystheSeven - I like your project. Are you going to be carrying heavy loads?

You're welcome.

Nope, no heavy loads. I've towed something exactly 3x times in the 2+ years, which is about the same number of times I've had more than 3 people in it, since I've owned the truck. What makes you ask?

 

[NORCAL SS]

Looks good
