What is the best suspension kit?
 

Hello! :D im new to the board ive browsed around a bit, and after kind of ditching the work on my VW for a while cause winters over and vws are gay (good winter car) I want to get my 68 c10 on the road! :D I am a huge fan of the handling. (i have springs poly bushings different shocks/struts sways in the vw so i like my handling alot, can you say gokart?) I looked through the search archives and i konw its rude to ask the same questions over and over.

I need to ask this now, i noticed that brothers trucks, ECE, belltech, djm are some of the manufacturers for 67-72 suspension. I have a few goals, i want the biggest swaybars availible, now who would make these, usually i see them for 140-160 us dollars, the biggest it hink was a 1 3/8ths bar, is there bigger ? will a 72-87 bar fit i know theres a 1 1/2 bar for this gen

ALSO how good is the quality of brothers trucks stuff, ece, jdm and belltech (it would suck to have a spindle snap :o )

Second, ECE appears to sell stock 12" rotors in 6 bolt format, if i lower it, for now i would like to retain my jeep wagoneer 6bolt 15's with new tirse because they are polished, and want to goto disc brakes. so .... do the 12" 6 lug rotors work with their spindles? (2 1/2 drop)

Third, i want the 4/6 stance going, i have 26.5 ? (255 60 15 ) tires on it right now, do i have to toss the inner wheeltubs front and rear ?

4th would prolly have to be, can i use my non power brake (stock ) master cylinder on my 68 910 for the front disc brakes i know usually with cars you need a bigger master cylinder piston diameter to compensate for this.... can i pull this off ? (anythings gotta be better than 11" or whatever front drums !!! )

-thanks in advance, i hope i can help anybody in the future with suspension questions :D

Give the guys at ECE a call. They are very helpful!! I called there once and was on the phone for 20 minutes talking to a very helpful person. They could probably answer almost all of your questions. Plus if you purchase everything from them they will give you a deal or discount. Or you can try the GMC Paul guy that posts on here also. He is very helpful as well. Good luck with the truck!!

Early Classic can't be beat. They're not the cheapest, but I think they're the best. You can see in my signature which product I chose.

I ogtta agree, i've dealt with them on multiple occasions, and they have always been extremely knowledgable and helpfull. Packages always get here in 2 days too!

You get them in 2 days because you're on the same coast... i have to wait 5-7 for mine...:rolleyes: I just ordered the rear kit yesterday. (6" drop kit) I ordered the spindles and spring for the front last month (4" drop total) and a close ratio steering box along with a few other little things. They are very helpful and know alot about the trucks ... they also have things that arent listed in the catalog ...

I used Belltech on mine. I figured if I went with one of the best, i'd have no worries. and I was right.
