lifted 2wd

[PBFAB.COM]

I picked up a 69 C10 about a year ago... it's finally going to get built. It currently has a Fabtech 4" lift up front (73-87 style front crossmember) and has lifted leaf springs in the rear. The reason I bring this up is that it will be getting a tube chassis with all C4 Corvette suspension. That means the old frame with suspension components are no longer needed... 4-Sale. If you are interested, let me know.

redz 1970 K5: Thanks for all the research, sounds like you've done this before, maybe I can get the choppers to work on me a photochop.

gringoloco: interesting plan, do you think I'd have a hard time aligning the front end?, if not then we could remove the cups, flip the axle back, and we'd be back where I like it.

porterbuilt: Hmmm, this is very interesting too, I'll let you know.

Thanks for all the replies.

Never done one this way personally. You might run into some trouble with camber, but there is a 3-4" lift spring on the market, so as long as you don't go any higher than that, you should be OK. The great thing about doing it with bags is if you run into any problems aligning it, you can always drop it down a little and try again and bring the back down to match.

Hopefully he just wants to do it to look cool, 'cause there would be very little functionality unless he is desert racing.

You can get the fabtech 3 inch lift kit which includes the spring and balljoint spacer. You shouldn't have any problems with alignment with it.

I have also seen a write up where someone used a newer lifted spindle and mated it w/ older "A" arms for additional lift.


I don't know what your budget looks like, but with the right amount of money, anything can happen.
