Lowering Questions
 

Whats up guys so i need some feedback im a 22 year old guy who is doing my first truck. My uncle passed away and it was his and wanna do something in his memory. Im lookin to do 7 in the back and 5 in the front due to the blown 454 im workin on right now for it. Any one got ideas to do it the best way and the easiest.

I'm sorry for your loss.

2-1/2" dropped spindles(requiring disk brakes) and 2" lowering springs would put the front 4-1/2" lower.

The rear might be a little trickier than just simple lowering blocks & coils with a C-notch, because don't the GMC's have leaf springs?

Yep, GMC's are leaf springs in the generation.

With what you're planning.... I'd just run a nice bag setup.

Just my opinion...

Whats up slammed I got my 65 swb c10 from my uncle who passed away 6 years ago so this rings a bell to me. I have lowerd mine and im in the process of dropping it more.This is were you have a lot of options, Im going on the cheap(relativley speaking) with dropped spindles and springs. The 5 /7 drop you want that should be easy although you might have to go a little lower up front (1/2 inch). Classic performance or cpp sells 2 1/2 inch drop spindles with a 3 inch spring that would be 5 1/2 front and use 5 inch rear springs with 2 inch lowering blocks there you go :metal:

heres a good place to get upgraded suspension parts for our trucks, they sell a kit for lowering it the way you want but if you have leaf springs out back then i dont think the kit will work out back
