Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Well, after a bunch of hemming and hawing, the suspension decision has been made. I sold the SV1000 this past weekend and put the money toward a PB touring front and NL coilover rear (with some minor personal tweaks--great vendors both!). Planning on using the Ridetech single adjustable "HQ" series on all four corners.
This plan will put me at (or near) my current ride height, but with hopefully improved steering, handling, and ride quality. It should also leave room to adjust down approximately another inch, if I decide later that I want to be lower ...and I can always do a PB body drop if I just gotta have that extra .75". For now, we'll see just how easy of a "bolt-on" these will be ![]()

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Very nice truck I love this build. When you changed to the longer Dorman wheel studs did you end up having to use a longer or deeper lug nut. Thanks.
I'm in the same boat with my Boss 338 and rear disc I'm getting about 5-6 turns to tite. Thanks Kevin

Me too! All of the NoLimit stuff is here already--received the rear coilovers today. Now just waiting on the PB crossmember and arms. Still need to figure out what rack I want to use. I've been advised that the quick ratio (2.5 turns) is too twitchy with the dropmember. Dave suggests using the standard 3.0 turns version, which was offered on 4-cylinder Mustangs. I've got an idea to use the 03-04 Cobra rack, as it's basically the pinnacle of the Mustang II/Fox rack design, with tight, crisp feel, but I definitely don't want the twitchiness.

Ideally, this is a bolt-in affair, with little 'custom' work required. For me, I know going in I'll have to do some exhaust work to get around the new panhard and I may end up shortening my steering column (not required, personal preference). Unknown possibles include driveshaft, H-pipe, cooling fan, high-hump, and pretty much everything else.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Pretty excited here, too! Unfortunately, it's gonna have to wait until the Blazer is back together, as the bed currently looks like this:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I am in love with the stance of this truck:
Love can be a dangerous (and wonderful and expensive) thing...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Check out @terry_14_rose on IG. Pretty sure it debuted at Columbus GG and has been making the rounds. Built by strangemotion in TN.

Follow @tre5customs on Instagram. He's building a 67-72 Porterbuilt coil over truck for a customer. He's pretty good about posting lots of pics.
