Never Thought I Would Ask About This

I give in to family and friends and want to know how to lower my 71 C10 SWB. I only want to go about three inches, just enough to get away from that stock height. I have coil springs front and back. I have the truck down to the frame doing a complete restoration so now would be the time. I need advice please.

Robert

Re: Never Thought I Would Ask About This

Best way is to do a 2.5" drop spindle as to not sacrifice ride quality at all, and a rear 3" or 4" drop springs. We carry the McGaughys parts, which are affordable and good quality.

Spindles
Rear Springs

Thanks,

Travis

He's right drop spindles are the best way to lower the front with out having a harder ride.
