Can you post 3/5 drop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I would like to see pics of a 3/5 drop coils on a 71 C/10 or any thing close. I want to use my original spindles? Or any ideas, I want the truck to sit level. I will be running 20's.

Here's a 3.5/5 with 17's.

A 3.5/5 drop still has a slight rake. If you want it to sit level, do a 3.5/6 like see ten's truck.

Mine is a 3.5/5 and 17's with no c-notch and havent had any issues, but mine does not sit level, like 68stepbed said, prob. need a 6" rear and a c-notch is recomended.

I know searching sucks but this was just one search query away...

2/4 or 3/5 drop
3.5/5" drop questions

A c-notch is not rquired with a 6" rear drop, unless you still plan to haul alot of stuff. You will need to remove, or, at least trim the rear bump stops. I know a few guys have left them in and only hit them on heavy potholes and speedbumps. Normal driving and cruising isn't much of a problem, though.
