Re: 69 c10 lowering question
Add a 2.5" drop spindle and a 2" lowering block with a bolt in c-notch.

Re: 69 c10 lowering question
^^^^^ This is the correct answer! I did a 5" front and 7" rear and it looks sick. I did CPP lowering spindles and 3" springs up front and 5" springs w/ 2" lowering blocks in the rear. The C notch is unavoidable, and has to be done. I tried to avoid it but you have to. Ride quality is good using this way. Driving from the muffler shop today home I got 5 thumbs up and stares. It stands out.

Re: 69 c10 lowering question
My 69 longbed is 5 1/2 in front and 5 in the rear. It has a nice rake and no
c-notch yet. |
