Okay, I have a 10 bolt axle on my truck..... I drove out to the junk yard and found that someone beat me to the axle on the c10. So, i'm struck there. Really, if i can lower the front and back how i want and keep the 8 lug, as long as it isn't going to require any strenuous effort, i'll just do that. I need to run new lines anyway, but can't afford a disc conversion out back.
I'm thinking 2.5" drop spindles and 2 or 3 inch springs for the front,
Then 2 inch shackles and 3 4 or 5 inch lowering leafs.
Could i use blocks with my setup?
