c30 lowering springs

Are c30 lowering springs the same as c10. I have some that I bought when I was going to keep it a dually but now have converted it to 1/2 ton. Its a 75 ccsb by the way. I am assuming they are stiffer but not sure.

They spec different springs for a C10 vs C30 but they will interchange. Like mentioned, they'll be stiffer to support the greater weight of the larger truck.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: c30 lowering springs

i have heavy duty springs on the front of my 1/2 ton and I think it handles better. i like a firmer ride though, and put a sway bar on it if you havnt, the OE ones work fine on a dropped truck
