2/4" coil spring drop

I'm looking at doing a 2/4" coil spring drop on my 70 C10. Found a kit that comes with the springs and shocks to match but I'm wondering if there is anything else I need to do after I drop it? Just put new rubber on her and had an alignment done earlier this month. Want to make sure I budget for everything before I start. The truck is drums all around.

Re: 2/4" coil spring drop

You will need another alignment after the spring drop. You should do ball joints while you have it apart.

Re: 2/4" coil spring drop

With a 4" spring drop in the rear I'd look into an adjustable panhard bar.
