C20 lowered pictures

[Drew94st]

Just ordered 1" lowered front coil and 3" lowered rear coil for the truck from GMC Pauls. Hoping to install them over Christmas break. Here is a before stock height photo.

Also ordered a disc brake kit from POL. This will come with the stock spindle height.

Before and after the 3-inch drop in the rear. I haven't completed the one-inch drop up front yet. The new coils and shocks evened out the height. I am truly blown away at how much better the truck rides comfort wise. No more banging around after every pothole.

Recent pics of our '72 C20 Custom Camper with Hidden Hitch and Helper Airbags, so she can still work for us when needed.

I spent the past couple of weeks getting this ol girl on the ground. I took it off the jack stands last night and giggled like a little kid when I saw the final product. I’ll get it outside in the daylight soon for a side shot.
To tell you that I’m excited is an understatement! 💪

Looks great.

So what are the details? Low much of a drop? Tire/wheel size?


Looks great

Had no idea there were so many lowered c20's out there! Here's mine before and after.
4" lower springs in the rear and 2" drop spindles in front. Got the drop spindles and disc break set up from Performanceonline.

Seriously cut this crap out. You’ve made over 75 posts in 24 hours and I’m not the only one that finds this annoying. Use this forum as intended not as your personal page

Asking the same question over and over by hijacking threads is considered spam, and is against board rules. Please stop doing this immediately. Thank you.

Interesting how a person's tastes change over time. I have to credit this site for the many different things I have tried that I would have never tried before.

For example, it was not too long ago that I thought people who lowered their C20s were crazy: now I am seriously thinking of doing the same thing.

I see that since this thread began that GMC Paul has started stocking not just a 2-4 drop, but 3" front and 6" rear coils for the C20s. I was wondering if anyone had tried such a drop using springs only, and if it is as simple as swapping them out, or if there is more to it than that. My truck has a coil spring rear, so I am wondering if I can get some good results this easily. Since I have drums in front it would seem that spindles are not an option unless I switch to discs. I would prefer not to do that right now, so am looking for the lowest drop I can get using coils only.

This is the drop route I want to take with my C20 1970.

My 68 needs to look like that. What parts did you use? Is it still four drums all around?
