Lowering a one ton - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there a kit out there, that can lower a c-35? I hear there are none, can it be done with out chopping. LMC says no to one tons?

Is it a dually?

tc4x4 · 03-22-2011, 10:24 PM

No its a SRW

Chlsnk · 03-22-2011, 10:58 PM

I think Sport Truck Direct may have a lowering kit.

Leedogg · 03-22-2011, 11:08 PM

Sport truck direct does have a 6/8.5 kit...but I have heard bad things about STD...I am nervous to pull the trigger. I have a thread buried over here where some other alternatives were mentioned....I am going the route Cochino went.

Not mine.
Note this is a dually. front half of the frame is not cleaned up, but rear half looks OK. So at least there is a drop for dually. Looking at this the rear is flip and relocated hangers. So your issue would be spindles. Isn't SRW the same as 3/4 ton?

hey tc4x4 is your truck a crew cab? also if your looking for a srw drop you wont find one because it takes the same spendle as the drw trucks

jitteryguy · 03-23-2011, 12:42 PM

get some 3" spindles, drop shackles and hanger's then remove a few springs if ya need a little more drop.
how low ya try'n to go ?

yeah most likely. I just don't want anyone else to get screwed. but like i said i'm pretty sure they closed their doors.

I personaly called western and western told me it had been quite a few months since they sent anyhting to STD as they owed them ALOT of money.
