Front Suspension Drop Issues - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I dropped my C10 in the front with a combination of springs and 2 1/2" spindles. Not 100% sure of the spring drop height. It has 15x8's in the front, and I had to trim the lower control arms in the front and rear to allow anything close to full-steer without the wheels rubbing on the arms.

Has anyone else run into this, and if so... what was your fix? I bottomed the arms out going through a huge dip in the road and lets just say the few hours of trimming the lower arms has gone to waste.

Anything helps... tubular arms? and where is a good place to find some?
