Re: looking for upgraded suspension for C10 SWB
No "lowering" but you're looking at Porterbuilt? I'm confused.
If you're leaving it at stock height... Almost everything you need can be bought from a local parts store. Such as a NAPA. Gary

Re: looking for upgraded suspension for C10 SWB
Look at CPP's tubular trailing arms you can get them in a complete kit with shocks and a new cross member too.
Just seems like a lot of coin for a stockish ride. But hey, it's your rig. All the disc brake components for the front can be bought at a local parts house. But if you want to upgrade the rear brakes to disc as well, then CPP and ECE sell rear disc brake kits too. Gary

rebuild whats worn out, new shocks, radials and anti sway bars front and rear. that will do you as good as any "kit". 72's came standad with disc brakes so your good there.

I went with the full GSI kit, but it's for bags and laying frame. Hope to be installed in a month or so
