bags, drop spindles and modified a-arms.

just with bags and drop spindles your cross member will be about 1.5" off the ground. you'll probably also want to section your cross member too.

you could also go the route of Z'ing your frame.

Your best bet for info is to browse the suspension forum here-

Re: bagging a 69 c-10

quite honestly, and i don't mean this as a jab, but if your fab skills aren't top notch, you're probably better off buying the drop member.

there are a lot of things that have to be taken into account when doing a proper Z, whereas a DM is pretty much bolt on.

definitely take some time and read the suspension forums. All of your questions, and then some will be answered there.
