how many should i take out?
 

i just called early classic and was going to buy there 4'' drop leaf springs but they informed me the c10 springs wont fit ill have to remove the right amount of leafs for my desired drop. has any one done this and or know how many to take out for a 4-5'' drop? by the way i strongly sugest using early classic enterprises there nice people -kyle:)

I did an axle flip on my c20 longhorn, & tossed the flat helper+ 2 bottom leafs......that was about 6" of drop. I then moved the spring hanger brackets down 1 1/4" on the frameto raise her back up a bit(Ill say loosely a 5" drop). You will find that removing leafs will cause a little wrapup, & you need slapper bars. Hope that helps......Crazy AL:)

Western Chassis sells drop shackles I am not sure if they make one for a C20 though. I droped the rear of my C1O leafspring
by having the springs Dearced roughly 2.5/3" by a local spring shop and the 2" drop shackle .

I bought the 4in drop leafs from them about 3 years ago and put in my 67 GMC. What do you mean they want fit?:confused: Anyway if they are a good spring shop in your area you can have them dearched.

I am a little slow I did not read the part you had a 3/4ton!

I had to read the post twice too. There isnt a down side to Dearcing the springs is there ? Someone said that the wheel will move forwards or backwards in the wheel well opening when you have springs dearced .

How did you drop the rear of your truck ?
