C20 Lowering
I don't know what kind of money you have to put into suspension for your truck, but a great way to get it down and make it handle better would be to put an airbag kit on the front and do a parallel 4-link w/bags on the rear. If you are pushing any kind of good horsepower you would want to get rid of the leafsprings anyway and a 4-link would get you a lot better hook-up and handling on the rear. The airbag kit on the front will be able to handle well and also carry the weight of your engine. You will be able to set your rear ride height pretty much wherever you want by putting on the 4-link kit and then you can always adjust your air pressures to help you get a good launch.

We can set you up with a drop spindle disc brake conversion on the front of your C20, and for the rear you would either need to use shackles to lower it 2", flip the rearend on top of leaves for 4"-5" lowering in the rear. If not concerned with 3/4 load carrying capabilities dropping some you can also remove 1-3 leafs from your rear springs while use lowering shackles to get more than 2" lower in the rear.
Why don't you want the front end to come up as rear goes down when you launch hard as this is the truck transfering the weight of the truck and torque to the rear wheels for traction at launch. GMCPaul |
