71 Help with drop
 
Looking to get serious real quick on this 71 Chev C 10. As far as I know all suspension parts are stock. I would like to do a moderate drop frt and rear.

I think the most common I have seen is 2 or 2 1/2 for the front and 5 for the rear.

I have leafs on the rear stock springs and disc's on the frt.

Suggestions on source would be welcomed. I don't like to cut springs and from what I have read the stock springs still perform well even with the drop kits.

I have a grand son coming down and we can't wait to get started on the truck eng, trans, driveine are all good to go.

I'm currently lowering my '71. I just finished the front. Drop spindles from ECE. Moog ball joints and tie rod ends from Summit Racing. Napa brakes. ECE is top notch for quality and service.

Thanks Scott

Looking at all the other remarks it seems like EC is the way to go.

From what I have seen the 2 1/2 frt and 4 or 6 rear give the truck a nice stance. I have leafs on the rear. Might as well get all I need from EC.
