Lowered My Panel
 
I thought I would share the results I got when lowering my Panel.

Its a 61 so the front was easy. Just adjusted the torsion rods. In the rear I wanted about a 4" drop, but also wanted it to ride softer. After some research I got rear springs from Classic Industries. They are 3" lowering springs for a regular C10. These lowered the rear of my panel 4" and the ride is much softer now. I am going to add some helper bags for when I need to carry a load.

Here are some pics:

That looks good. Perfect amount of stance and 500% better looking than any new "truck". Thats how I want my Sub to sit.
