i know its been asked but after a quick search i cant find what i want..

i have a 68 a c10 that has heated coils in the back that the PO did..

i dont know how much he lowered it, but i want to buy new springs for the rear.

i now have a 2" block in the back with the heated springs but it still sits too high for me..

so i need pics of a 6 or 7 inch drop in the rear so i have an idea of what spring to buy.

axle to frame clearance pics would be helpful too

gonna be pretty tough to get a full 7" out of a static drop ... not impossible, but tough.

this is a 5/7 static drop 235 60 15 and 275 60 15
pipe c notch 5" springs and 2" blocks

thanks... what kind of clearance do you have between your frame and axle??

how about front crossmember to the ground??

how was the front lowered

check my thread out. I detail my static drop on page 2. Shane is right, anything past 6 is difficult, but with the right combo, it's do-able......

I am down 8.5 in the back with ample room between the axle and the top of my C notch. and the whole setup rides quite well without rub....... no b.s.!!

Rague.....Beauty truck man!Looks very sharp.But are you afraid to spin the tires and wreck a rim?

nothing wrong with spinning the tires.
