Wanting my 67 C10 bed to ride level...
Guys, best that I can tell my truck is bone stock and I want to change the stance just a little. So how much drop do I need in the rear end to have the bed rails level or maybe 1" lower in the rear?
Wish I had a working digital camera to show you what I got...by my estimation the rear of the bed is around 1" higher than the front. Anyone got any tips? ![]() thanks!

use a tape measure to be sure about the difference. then just let some air out of the bags. you do have bags, dont you? :p
or you could do this

Or I could go out and rip off about 300 trucks for their rotors and drums like you did!

yeah, but it sure lowered it down in a hurry.
there is approximately 562 rotors to the tune of 4240# @ $90/ton ![]() seriously though, air bags in place of coils gives adjustability & greatly improves the ride quality. otherwise you could get a hold of Early Classic Ent. & get some drop springs. I would do a link but I'm PC illeterate. BTW, where are you from?

The front end of my truck sits way low, how would I raise it up? Put spacers in the coils or should I get a set of air bags for the front or what?
