lowering a 77
Hello Guys ,
I am new to this forum (was a Impala ss forum junkie forever ) sold all my cars and bought 4 trucks , go figure . Anyways I have a 77 c10 that I have dropped with a rear flip kit , cut springs ( 1coil) and spindles (bell 2 inch). The wheel and tire package I have is Boyd Evolution 17x8 on front (255/40/17 tire) and 18x9.5 rear (275/40/18 tire) Thing is , I just dont think its low enough and dont like the look . I would love to bag and 4 link the truck but the budget dont allow .I was thinking maybe using shackles and hangers in the back, is this possible with already having a flip ? I have stock rear springs in (none removed ) Also on the front I was thinking of Z ing the frame .What would be the pros and cons of the Z and what would be the best amount to Z 2-3-4 inches ? thinking of just using front bags and schrader valves .Anyone have any pics of what has to be done to the trans crossmember after the z . Any opinions on the wheel and tire sizes ? A few questions , I know . Thanks In advance, Be patient I am new here , just discovered this place and I have alot of questions . Pete |

Re: lowering a 77
shortchev,... Do a little searching around in the "suspension" section. Most of these things have been addressed. I don't know about running a flip kit with the shackles AND HANGERS. Shackles on the rear would be fine,... but you'll need a c-notch. Z-ing the frame has been addressed in many threads. Good luck and welcome to the board.
