Help with steering box and lowering kit

[Ghernandez66]

Hey guys I'm new to the squarebody's so I need a bit of help ,

I recently purchased a 74 C10 and by talking to some friends found out that has some different year sheet metal and wiring but it all works good.

My questions are about height since this truck was lowered with a flip kit in the rear and the PO just cut the springs up front so I'm trying to replace the front cut Springs but I would love to know where to start I will upload a couple pictures see if you guys can help It looks like I have a couple more inches of clearance in rear because PO did installed a notch so I would like to go a little lower if not too much hassle.

Also my next question is steering ... I seem to have a really bad turning radius like if I was driving a crew cab long bed type of bad radius ..I have this number off the steering box 7802644L and of course it seems to be leaking in couple places so I would love to replace it and would love to find an alternative bolt on that has a better turning radius is there one anyone recommends?


Thank in advance guys

Steering box isn't going to limit turning radius, but you can go to a quicker ratio box if you feel your steering is too slow. What limits turning radius is the spindles and/or steering stops on the A-arms, usually the stops. They may be modified to keep the wheels or tires from rubbing.
