Lowering 3/4 ton C-20... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got a '69 C-20 with coils in the rear. I'm interested in lowering both the front and rear, maybe a 3" and 4" drop. Anybody lower one of these before?

ECE will have what you want early classic enterprizes

Thanks royo, I took a quick peek at what they have, and it isn't clear if the lowering springs will work with a C-20. I'll have to get in touch with them I guess. Thanks again...

i'm bagging my c20 right now. Just notched the frame yesterday and will be working on the rest saturday. there are 2.5" drop spindles available for these also

I got 2" coils for the front of my 66 3/4 GMC from GMC Pauls.

I have a few more questions on this. If I put 4" drop coils on the rear, do I have to relocate the shocks and put an adjustable panhard bar in?

I hope to do something similar... I want to drop both ends about 2 inches.... don't want to put it into the weeds, just get it out of the clouds.

What is better in front -- drop spindles or springs?
