Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
got a question for you static dropped guys. i have a fairly steep drive way at the entrance. any of you guys have issues dragging your bumpers front or rear. i am afraid going this low static may cause problems getting in and out of the drive way.
i know its all relative and useless without pics. just curious. im considering a 4.5 front and 5.5 or 6 rear. May have to go bags rear id the drive way is an issue. thanks. |

my long tube headers scrape on more stuff than my bumpers do. i managed to rip off my back fiberglass roll pan when moving into a new house and didnt notice the sprinkler sticking 12 inches out of the ground. oh i was pissed (on top of being pissed cause moving sucks) . loading onto trailers with short ramps is always scary i almost always park the back tire of the tow vehicle on blocks to help decrease the approach angle of the trailer ramps. But i can honestly say i have never hit bumper on a driveway anywhere.

Awesome trucks. Anyone else have issues posting a thread from a phone? Subscribing to a thread from a phone? I can only do these things from my desk top.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
Here is my '69 GMC with 3"/5" drop, c-notch, and 20" Detroit steel wheels.
I can't seem to figure out how to rotate the image. I am not very tech-savvy I apologize. |

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
What size of tires on the detroit steelies? I literally just got those same wheels I'm just waiting to find that perfect look of tire profile and width to go with my height.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
i may have uploaded to this thread b4 but thought i would share some more.
static drop. still to tall in the rear for my personal taste but its work in progress . not much clearence. running the tall 20" wheels with the low profile tires really helped compare to the weld wheels and aluminum eagles i had b4. wheels make a huge difference im constantly changing my mind on what i like im on my 3rd set of wheels with this truck.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
Its really the same in my opinion. once you lower the truck as much as i have, the ride is fairly stiff but still not bad. the lower profile tires dont seem to make an obvious difference other than i feel as if the steering got twitchy and more reactive to grooves in the road.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
I have a question for everyone that did a drop with new spindles, springs, and shocks. Like the one I want to order from ECE 4/6 drop kit.
Did you do the rest of the suspension bushings and parts while you were at it? Just wondering because that would add another couple of hundred dollars. Making a parts list and wondering if this all needs to be done at the same time for a nice solid riding truck. Also for safety. |

Afterwards I plan on driving it a little harder. Plus, the 396 is going to double the torque, HP and weight over the inline 6.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
Honestly, I didn't do it on mine, but my bushings and ball joints were fine. I did change them out when I went to an air suspension since I completely replaced the lower control arms and did a full rebuild of the front steering components.
If your bushings and ball joints have seen better days and you're going to need to replace them anyway, it would be easier to do when you replace your spindles since you'll have to have it off to do the ball joints anyway. It's also a whole lot easier to do bushings with the control arms off the truck, so spindles would come off for that too. If you have the funds, I recommend you do it all at once. And have fun with it!

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
If it's not been done recently, it'd be a good idea to replace all that. I replaced it all when I did my 5 lug swap, but didn't when I added lowering parts since they were all recently new(~4 yrs old).

Dig it! Even more so with the classic UK plates. I bet it's a head turner over there
