Cut 2 coils, flip kit 245/60's on 8's 325/50's on 10's will need some surgery on the rear. Shouldve been 4.5 bs vs 3.75

Love the truck and the stance. That's exactly the hardware I ordered, minus the shackle. But after seeing yours I may have to buy the shackle too.

what header setup are you.running? Or are they manifolds? Reason I ask is I ordered the same lowering setup you have, and was wondering if my long tubes are gona work. I'm seriously doubting it, by looking at your pic.

get the shackles with the option of the 1 or 2 inch drop. took me just a few minutes to go from the 1 to 2 inch drop

the tire size is 235 70 15

Taubert83 · 11-07-2012, 07:16 PM

3 in spindles, full coil cut, flip kit, 2 in shackles, had some weight in the bed in this pic, otherwise rear tires are flush with wheelwells

factory manifolds and duals into flowmasters. i'll being switching to a 454 and mid length headers next spring. i beleive there will be enough clearence

chevybuilder18 · 11-09-2012, 12:09 AM

Could you guys spare me a lil advise? the djm spindles are a good choice for a half ton c10 cause of the price.. i was wandering if 5 inch flip kit in the rear is excessive. im also wandering what cutting does to your coils? wouldnt that make handling the truck different? Are you using after market or stock A arms?
