OK everyone, we just got back from a 2K round trip to Montana with the C10. the ride was OK. I have 2.5" drop spindles and 4" drop coils with a 1" rubber spacer in the A arm bringing them back up to a 3" drop coil, also I am running Belltech 2104HA street shocks ft and rear, and a flip kit on the leafs in rear. I think I have a 5.5/ 7 drop not sure really. But the ride was great unless you hit some of the overpasses on the hwy, I know I hit the bump stops in front more than one time and it was a hard bonce for sure. I installed bump stops on the lower A arms with 1" of clearance to the crossmember. Does anyone know if the coil over kits will better the ride? I really like the stance. and I know that the rear is fixable too but was not the ride problem, it was the front mostly..
