5" coil ldrop on c20

Well..... I took pictures so I could document it and help others.. during the spring swap I noticed my trailing arms were pretty rusted and would need replaced next... on with the swap... all done , not too bad except there was an inch and a half difference from one side to the next... check everything and realigned the springs to sit exactly the same...still a one inch difference... maybe the one side needs to settle, the high side was the last one to be done, the other side compressed with the weight of lifting ... blah blah blah... lets take it for a ride....
rides real nice , i like the angle.. bam bam bam...... limp it home...huh trailing arms were worse than I thought, broke both of them........trucks done for awhile. lol

you need an adjustable panhard bar to center your rear end plus you need shock relocators to have the thing ride properly
