Re: 62 C30 Rear Suspension Question

You probably can do a flip kit which should drop it about 4”

I would look for a spring company in your area for the mounts and ubolts

Re: 62 C30 Rear Suspension Question

Doing an axle flip on a dually will likely lower the rear a bit more than 4". I would thing going with air ride would get you where you want to be easier than messing around with leaf springs. You would likely have to build the majority of the mounts and arms. You could use the front spring hangers as an attachment point for the lower arms. I have seen similar kits for the squarebodies.

You‘re probably right.. but Airride exceeds my fabrication skills and I‘m new to designing suspension stuff. Thats why I‘d like to buy a Kit from somewhere..
Also an Airride would be quite difficult since German Inspections are pretty hard to pass with fabbed up stuff..
I will need to think alot about the rear axle setup..
