(Outside of bags) and I've been looking at doing a flip kit on the rear trying to retain the 10 million lb leaf springs for functionality.
There is a lot out there for the 1/2 ton c10 but I have been running into difficulties trying to figure out a solution for the c30.
Looking to lower 2.5-3" in the front and rear.
I'll be reconfiguring the bed and tool boxes soon so I'd like to try and tackle the lowering while I have extra room to move around. Thanks for the help and definitely appreciate everyone's posts in this forum. I've learned more in six months on this site than that entire college career, haha.
Cool looking project. I am going to follow along as I am building a similar 68 1 ton dually (short bed step side) called Homer. I didn't want to get rid of the whole 1 ton dually thing as (for me) that's what makes it cool and different.
I found a set of 73-87 bell tech drop spindles used for $150 but kinda waiting till I get my bed on to decide whether or not to drop it.
Anyhow, good luck with you C-30.
