its rough on the road, feel every bump, pothole ect. i like it too but i need lower spindles to control the bumpsteer

when you cut a coil spring not heat it it will increase the load capacity and make it ride horrible......now i do have a c-20 so the springs are heavy duty! i am saving up for a 5 lug and air bags

Did you remove the bumpstops front and rear?

Here is a pic of the truck with cut coils before I started all the work. It rode great. Maybe the 3/4 tons dont I have no idea on that. but the 1/2 tom with 1.5 or 2 coil cut rode fine. Been too long to know how much I trimmed off.

Thats a great looking truck! I wonder if you could post a pic showing the full side view. I was planning on doing 2.5 front 3 rear drop.

It has 84 Chevy upper and lower control arms with the stock cross member. 2 1/2" dropped spindles and 3" springs. The rear has a 84 Chevy rear end and I made a set of trailing arms with 3" springs and 2" blocks.

Someone asked for a side view, this is the best I got right now. It is a leaf spring rearend, I am in the process of switching it over to a 5 bolt pattern so it is on jack stands right now. I have a 2 inch further drop in the rear to level it out.

What are the stats on the one with the 454?

Front/Rear drop?
Wheel/Tire sizes?

That looks picture perfect to me!
