Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

hello again, I went to the POL parts company and love there stuff. But I was set on the LMC slam kit with 4 1/2 front to 5 rear for my '68 C-10. Now, Im confused because POl.com doesn't have such a kit. Just 2 1/2 drop spindle and separate drop springs 1'' 2'' 3''. PLEASE HELP!! I dont plan to use bags at all. My father has MS and he can hardly get into it at stock height. I want him to be able to just slide right in and have it look SUPER LOW. What should I use to have the equivalent of LMC'S slam kit. wehwwww!! Any help is soo appreciated!

MY STEP SIDE HAS A 6/7.5 DROP
3INCH SPINDLES AND 3INCH SPRINGS UP FRONT
IT THE REAR I GOT 6 IN SPRINGS WITH A 1.5 IN LOWERINGBLOCK BUT YOULL HAVE TO INSTALL A bolt in c notch

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

Use POL's 2.5" drop spindles and 2" drop springs up front.
Then add a 5" rear spring.
Stay away from LMC.
They make great catelogs,... but there are better suspension companies to buy 67-72 parts from.

Early Classsic Enterprises would be another good choice.
(they sell a 6" rear spring)
Dont forget drop shocks, rear shock relocators and an adjustable track bar.

This is member 72BlckButy's 69 swb with a 4.5/6 drop from ECE.

Mines 5.5 front and 8 rear works great

Get the 4/6 kit from ECE and you won't have any regrets. It will still be plenty low enough and you won't need a c-notch. If you want it lower, you will need to c-notch the rear.

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

4/6 ece and c notch.

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

2-1/2"DROP SPINDLES & 2" SPRING FRONT, 6" INCH DROP SPRING REAR,NO C-NOTCH. Drop Kit from ECE you will not be dissapointed.

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

Hey thanks again guys, this works out great. I planned on putting in a c-notch as well but forgot to mention it. what setup should I use then with the notch kit

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

Couldn't agree more! Bags are for groceries...springs are for trucks.

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

6" rear drop springs and add drop blocks to get desired drop.

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

:lol:....

The only prob is, should you ever intend on hauling anything your truck will be useless, bags will give you the best of both.

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

I don't agree with that statement.
If you plan on hauling heavy loads,... rear bags will definitely help.
Useless is pretty harsh.

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

I agree.....but the op was taking about a static drop without bags which will leave it unable to haul heavy loads....and as I said...bags will give the best of both worlds.

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

only problem with bags is they can bust. my buddies truck is down right now cause of a busted bag. i honestly feel bad cause he cant make it to a car show this weekend so i told him he can ride with me and my springs :lol:

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

Why would I go to the trouble of building this truck if I was going to haul stuff with it?:haha::lol::lol::lol:

It was built to go fast and show off!:devil:

I have an '07 Silverado for all that "hauling stuff".

Rather than bags, how about air shocks? Just enough to bring the bag end up when you have a load.

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

I have air shocks in my S10's rear for this reason, but I hear it's not the smartest thing since the shock mounts weren't designed to take that much load. I have only used them twice, but in almost 2 years the mounts are still in perfect shape. I don't know how different it would be for the heavier C10.

Holly crap!!! 572?? One day ill buy a 572 or a 632! Bad ass truck bud!

Re: Lowest drop without bags...HELP PLEASE!!
 

I have 2 1/2 spindles, 2 in drop springs, 3/4 spring cut for 6in front and 5 in drop springs and 2 " blocks for 7 in rear. No c-notch, no problems but I do not haul with my truck. Also have adjustable ride shocks in back for 26 different firmnesses.
