Lowering Kit for 1986 C10...4/6 Drop
 
Ready to lower my 86 C10 and with all the different options available, just looking for some input on what would be the best setup.

I am looking at the Belltech kit (BEL-705SP) primarily and just wondered if anyone had any better suggestions or if this would be a good kit that would also achieve good ride quality? I like the idea of a single kit that has everything although I know sometimes you can achieve better results by piecing a kit together.

Thank you in advance!

It's a good kit I had to bend my brake lines a little different to clear spindle. Make sure you get the correct spindle size so you don't have to replace all your brakes.

How are the street performance shocks? Ride smooth? I had read the Nitro shocks suck and go out rather quickly.

Thanks for the response.

Thanks for that! I'd much rather buy from someone that supports the forum as well.
