Bodydropping my truck

[fastbagged68]

Liftedassdodge I dont know what the part number is off the top of my head....I could find out though. I beleive it is from Chevy shackles. maybe #2107. I need to check to see if I have it written down. If not I can take my control arm off my burban and get it.
I'm freinds with Kelly's brother. There good people. Are you going to make your own control arms?

liftedassdodge-Bushings for your body mounts....to sit it on the ground.... I could get you them. They are from Curts Shop. they are about a 1/8" tall. Then put a spacer under it.

Do it yourself if you are going to do your bags yourself.

I have plans of bagging my 71 c10 and would love it if it could lay rocker. What is EVERYTHING that you need to do/use to lay rocker on these style trucks?? What bags should I use?? Any special way that I need to mount them?? Do I have to notch the rear frame?? If so how much?? Do they sell the shorter mounts that you are talking about to body drop it?? If so where and how much?? Can I use the stock tank?? Have to do anything to the bed floor or cab floor (tranny tunnel)?? If I am laying rocker, what would be the ride height to drive it everyday (how close to stock)?? I am not going any bigger than 17's on my truck...may still use it every once in a while for towing. Any help is greatly appreciated. Pics would be great. Sorry about all the questions I am all new to this stuff and just trying to learn.

Thanks,

Travis

With as easy as this sounds to body drop just with modified body mounts. Someone needs to make a poly kit that does this. I want to do this very soon. No other mods are needed?
