im building my first C10 and was wondering about how low to go. i would like it to sit nicely over a set of 18" Boss motorsports 338 i was looking at using CPP modular drop spindles to stars and a lot of their other parts. i want to try to stay away from airbags.

Welcome to the board. Most people have found they can go 4.5 and 6 w/out too many mods and still drive it. Drop spindles and 2" springs in the front and 6" springs in the rear.

so 4.5 in the front and 6 in the rear should bring me down enough to look good with the 18s
