70 C10 lowering questions
Just wondering if anyone could give an opinion on if I'm headed in the right direction on lowering my 70 C10 lwb (I've read a ton of info on here and online but just want to be sure before I start ordering stuff)...
I have new 275/60/15 all the way around, looking at 4" drop springs for the rear (could I just add a 1" block if I wanted to go lower?) and a set of drop shocks...I was just going to cut 1 coil off of the front and use drop shocks (or relocate the current shocks) + alignment. Any opinions on whether I would run into clearance issues w/ the 275's on the front w/ just cutting the 1 coil? Anything else that I would absolutely need to make this happen? Or anyone have pics of a similar setup w/ the 275's on all four too that would be awesome... |

Re: 70 C10 lowering questions
Here is some a helpful thread. this is my truck & it has 275/60/15 on all 4 corners
SImple Coil Cut Front Drop Currently I just installed all new stuff when I switched over to disks and I'm still running 275/60/15 on all four corners. I have 5" drop springs in the rear now, no clearance issues, But I have to same you need an adjustable panhard bar, so you can even out the rear-end. I tried mine with the stock bar, just so I could post info of "if it works or not" and my rear driver tire would rub on the inner wheel well on bumps & hard turning. I installed my adjustable pan-hard bar and centered my rear-end, and I have about 1" of clearance on both sides between my tire and the inner wheel well. This is on 15x8" with 4" BS Hope this helps... -=scott=- |
