I just put 22x10 foose spank 5's on my L and it looks ok due to the fact that it sits at the factory height still. What is the lowest drop that I can do with those wheels so that they do not rub when turning or when going over pot holes and bumps? I was thinking something like 3 in the front and 4 in the rear. any suggestions.

 

Look for post from Mecca, I believe he has 22’s with a sick drop. I am doing mine next week, have 22 in foose speedsters. Doing belltech spindles in the front, and western chassis front hangers, socal shock extenders and 3 in shackles in the rear. Had the stuff for almost a year but actually just made an appointment with an electrician 30 minutes ago to come and hook up my compressor so I can install them finally.

 

Please post your outcome with some pics if you can, I would love to see what it looks like.

 

I see mecca has a western chassis 5/6 kit and it looks awesome. What is there website or where is the best place to buy it from?

 

It's a Western Chassis 4/6.... Coil Springs and A-Arm's up front, flip kit out back C-Notched. I installed the entire thing myself without any problems. Hardest part was C-Notching, but I removed the bed and it made it nice and simple. Take it easy.

i had the western chassis kit on my first L with 22s and 285/35 rubber.. IMO it's very impractical for a DD. but holy cow did it look good standing still.

 

I did a 3/4 drop and it rides really well. I didn't go any lower in the back because I want to keep it practical for a daily driver. I'm not sure if the Lightnings come 1" lower all the way around from the factory like the Harley does but.... take a look so you can get a good idea.....hope this helps

 

More pics of L's with 22's and what drop please!!

 

I drive the L about once a month so that is not my main concern. As long as it does not rub I dont care. Mecca what is involved in the c-notch and how much did the entire kit cost you?

 

That definitely looks AWESOME. I would be scared to c-notch my frame. Good job though.

 

the only one i got of my first one...

 

Looks sweet birdy 111. Good pic becuase mine is black also so now I will know what it will look like. What size drop is that 4/6 or 3/4? I cant wait to pancake this thing.

 

Just for reference. That's a 1/2 drop with 22s. Great daily driver stance. No problem with tall speed bumps or steep parking lot transitions.

 

If you don't drag your **** across something at LEAST once a week, you're not low enough, lol.

 

Here is mine
