Another Lowering Coil Question! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Stranny64 · 11-06-2014, 03:17 PM

So I lowered my 68 C20 4" in the rear and 2" in the front due to the 4:10 rear end gears and keeping a 31" tall tire for better drive ability. I also put one size smaller tire on the front. Been thinking it's too much of a rake look. I guy on Craig'slist has brand new 1/2 ton 5" lowering coils for sale because he is going with air ride. Will the 1/2 ton springs work on my 3/4 ton and if so will they lower it the same or more? I got mine from Paul's and I thought it mattered between 1/2 or 3/4. Thanks!!!

I wouldn't go with any more drop with the springs, just add in a 1" lowering block. That way you will retain your current ride quality.

Are the lowering block kits the same from 1/2 to 3/4? Thanks!!!
