Static lowering a '65 C10 longbed

[KJSR]

So if I read correctly you are looking to lower it 3-3.5" all the way around?

Since the springs are relatively inexpensive, I mean the ones for dropping our trucks, I would suggest to get some of those. You will need shocks and an adjustable pan hard bar if going lower than a few inches.

Bags will give you the best ride, ability to tow also, you can bag all 4 or just the rear. A vendor here on the forum can get you a great deal and tell you specifics for spring rate and such if you need that.

Good luck and Welcome to the forum! Merry Christmas Yall!

My question is... What, if any, stock springs work in these trucks and what are the results? I know that new springs can be purchased and that air ride can be installed but what is the old school/poor boy method? Thanks...

This isn't something that I am planning on keeping, just another flip with minimal investment.
