question on stock ride height - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i want to lower my 71' c10 but im torn on how far to go. i dont know if over the years my suspension has "naturally" lowered itself from having the weight on it. i dont want to order 2in drop springs and have my truck look exactly the same. right now at the rear outside fender well is about 33 1/2in and the front is 32in. any input?

Even if 2 inch drop springs kept it at the same height, it would still be a good upgrade. Probably a smoother ride. Then you can move on from there. Add lowering spindles and blocks until you reach your desired height.
