Re: Trying to figure out how my 68 C10 was lowered

You need rear shock relocators and drop shock to fix the angle of your rear shock. They aren't working like that.
Also need an adjustable panhard bar to Re-center the rearend.
I bet you have a 3/5 drop with springs only.
That's only half of the stuff you need to make it ride good. Drop spindles are needed if you want to go lower.

Yup, he's only getting a little bit of stroke with the shocks mounted at that angle, so not a lot of damping action, there.
