If you are lowering your truck you can use the Early Classic Enterprises (ECE) lowered stands. If your going really low, you can just bolt the bushing clamps directly to the frame.

Hey N2TRUX, how low would you have to be to go without the stands?

If your static dropped with spindles and springs you might be ok. If your bagged then your golden.

what up guys - ok i grabbed the whole front clip from an 85 c10 this weekend and will start tearing down, cleaning, painting and stuff like that - couple questions

i plan on getting the DJM 3" drop spindles, can I use the drop coils i got from CPP that Im currently running in my 64 arms?

there is a valve on the 85 that mounts ahead of the x-member - is that just a factory proportioning valve? It has some electrical connector that I have no clue about - should i just replace with a basic prop valve or what? i dont have anything from my harness to connect to it

the shim stack used on the upper arms is unreal - like 8 or 9 per side - any ideas why they would need to do so many? dude says oe spindles and stock coils??

probably will have more ??s
