3/5 drop 71 c-10
I've waded through using the search function, and couldn't turn up a thread with any info. Where is the best place to find a 3/5 drop with spindles for a 71' c-10? I was going to go through CPP, but after reading everyone's past experiences, I'm looking for alternatives. Trucks going to be out of the body shop in the next week and i have enough parts to install to keep me busy for a couple of weeks so there is no rush, welllllllllll maybe a little bit or a rush cause I'm ready to drive it after seeing it sitting in the garage everyday for the past 4+ years, lol.

Yes go to truckshop.com and you can get your spindles and springs but also check brothers for their price on springs some times they put them on sale.

 I'm running a 4.5/6" drop on my 69 from ECE and I wouldn't change a thing. The ride and quality is amazing.

Re: 3/5 drop 71 c-10
Going through ece, i can only find that 4/6. Thats a lil extreme for me. Not sure i could even back in my driveway without leavin' a furrow at that height. The 3/5 is just about as low as i can go. I might even settle for a 2/4 plus an additional 1" drop block in the rear if i could find somthing like that with a spindle

Re: 3/5 drop 71 c-10
Have you checked out McGaughys? You can run the 2.5" drop spindle with 1" coil up front, and a 5" coil in the rear. We sell their products so let me know if we can help out.

Re: 3/5 drop 71 c-10
Call the guys at ECE. They will substitute the springs in the 4/6 kit to make it a 3.5/5 kit. Personally, I only recommend ECE products. I've used another brand, and was never happy with it. Also, ECE has the best customer service.
