Re: Just another bagged and ls swapped c10
The notch will get me 3'' closer to the ground. You can buy the drop members, but i have a lot of time on my hands.

I didn't even notice it moved up in the frame. I just saw the front cut.

What are you doing for steering?

The factory steering will work with this setup. I did section that front part for clearance. I will add a power gearbox.

Re: Just another bagged and ls swapped c10
Seen it a thousand times, boring. Just kidding! Thanks for sharing your build. Looks like it's going to be a nice truck. I like your method of raising the front crossmember. I haven't seen that exact approach before.

Re: Just another bagged and ls swapped c10
I have saw this way done a couple times. Once I get everything mocked up, ill see if it meets my goal for how low i want it to be. If not i will Z the frame up front.
