Re: static drop pics
Thanks guys. I buzz the inner fender every now and then. Lolife I know you would have rub issues. By the way, the blazer is really cool.

My plan is to keep it static dropped on 15's and just drive it. (maybe 15" Torq Thrust Original A spoke wheels or Torq Thrust D's some day) Pulling the inner fenders just makes a mess under the hood. Plus I have a long gravel driveway. I can see rocks exiting the tires and dimpling the underside of the hood.

Re: static drop pics
Ok I gotcha, lol
The reason I asked is because my inner fenders are still outta my truck, from installing the drop parts. Before they get reinstalled they were getting a fresh coat of paint. I have been driving around without them for a month or so, and it does get the underside of the hood dirty, but I try not to drive the truck in the rain (no gravel here either) Just a question for ya.......Thanks btw, that blazer is just toooooo cooolllll!!! |

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
Finally got the stuff done under the bed and got it back on. It's just setting loose but it sure is nice to have it back on!

What wheel / tire on the back? I'm ready to pull the trigger on springs and am struggling with what to get. I'll be 15x8 - 4.25 BS - 235/60-15 and 15x10 - 4.25 BS - 295/50-15. I've already got the 2.5" drop spindles and was all along thinking just a 1" spring to go with that, but seeing yours makes me wonder....

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
Ok I'm really a noob when it comes to lowering my 1970 c10. What is exactly a static drop? I would like to lower my truck and some one suggested a 5'' up front and a 6'' in the rear. They said it would get the truck low and level, front and back. Could I do a 2.5'' spindle with a 2'' coil up front, if there are 2'' coil available. and I know there are rear kits for the 6'' drop. I also plan on converting the 6 lug set up in the rear to 5 on 5. I've searched all over the threads, but some of the information got me a little confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks |

As for the rear, a 5" to 6" drop is max without having to do some sort of frame modification. Some people will tell you 5" and others say 6". Certain companies sell springs that say they are both a 5" drop but one sits lower than the other, so be careful if you go straight for a 6" coil... do some research. I've seen a couple comparisons between CPP and ECE drop kits, but I don't remember who's springs sit lower or higher. I changed my rear coils from a 5" coil to a 3" coil and a 2" block, just to get a more comfortable ride. The 5" coil was really rough on these Houston area roads. My back thanks me for that swap too. I have a stock frame and I intend to use the truck as a cruiser with occasional truck duties. Regardless of what you do, enjoy the truck and good luck.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
Has anyone used lowering leaf springs for the rear? If so do you have pictures so i can see what it looks like? I have also thought about changing it over to rear coil springs so i can buy a complete suspension kit.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
Just take two or three leafs out of the leaf pack and you'll be good to go.

Re: static drop pics
Thanks for the comment. Don't have any more pics at this time, it's at my buddy's shop where we are installing the motor. Tires are 245/40/20 and 295/35/20
Edit. I have these, but in this set the 2" blocks aren't installed in the rear.
