We have the C10 almost finished but are looking for insight on possibly changing the front coils. After bolting everything together the front is a little lower than we can live with without inner fender modifications.

The truck has the '73-'87 crossmember swap with McGaughy's 2.5" drop spindles and stock small block coil springs with one coil removed.

During the build we installed a Big Block, Vintage Air System, Vacuum Canister, Fan Relay Modules and Coolant Overflow Tank. Of course, all of these components added weight to the nose.

Our thoughts are:
Stock Small Block Springs (no coils removed)
Belltech 2" Lowering Springs (higher spring rate)
Stock Big Block Springs (one coil removed)
Air Bags

Thanks,
POP
