Re: '49 front leaf springs

full size C10 stuff is too wide - if you want the front wheels to tuck inside the fenders. There's a truck on this site somewhere that did the C10 front IFS and IMHO it looks too wide for the fenders...but to each his/her own.

FYI, they make "full leaf packs" in 3" drops for the front, and 3"-5" drops for the rear. Check out Brothers, LMC, Classic Parts....they all have sets. But research what else is involved in this. I've read that when you use the drop front axle (3" drop) you have to modify the pitman arm.
