Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10

Does the C4 suspension make for a wider track at all than the AirRide A-arms?

If I were to go with this setup (I love it by the way), I would more than likely end up running coilover front suspension instead of bags. Reguardless, I will still be running a 15" front wheel (15X5) and I know that these trucks already have a bit of an issue with the front wheels being inward an awful lot (mine is an 87).

I find interest in this setup mainly because I am a simplicity freak, and if I could eliminate that huge crossmember, stock A-arms, and steering box, for all of this clean cut and simple stuff, it would really clean up my under hood appearance.

I'd guess that it'd also perform alot better at high speed than stock stuff too, and as of right now I'll be looking at 130+ in the 1/4 mile on stock junk.

This is what I'm faced with currently...
