Is truck lowered 3", 4"....?
I bought an 85 c10. It is lowered and overall I like the stance. truck has a slight lean to one side. Upon closer inspection before i bought it, I noticed the front springs are not the same and one has spacers attached to it. Almost as if previous owner cut it too much and put spacers on it. I measured all four corners from bottom of fender to floor and got this:
Driver's side - 29 1/4" front and back (attached image) Passenger side - front 29" back 30" Looks like back has flip kit. I want to level out the truck and do it right. Would this be close to a 3/5? I have 20" wheels with 275/45/20 on all four corners. Any help and suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank you. ![]() |

A better measurement would be from center hud to fender due to so many variations of tires and wheels.

I measured it from the hub to the fender. Driver's side is 15" front and back. Passenger's side is 14 3/4" front and 15 5/8" rear. I also noticed rear shocks are not the same. Which could be giving it the higher stance on the rear.

I have a 4.5/5in. My front is 13.75/ rear is 14.5, maybe this will help.

It does give me a better idea. What size wheels are you running? Do they rub?

Im guessing you have a 3in drop in the front. Im running front 215/70/15 in 15x6.5 4.25in bs and rear 295/50/15 on 15x10 5in bs. No they dont rub.

Nice! Your truck looks great. I was also leaning towards a 3" in front. this is how it looks from the side.

Thanks, looks like you have a 4in in the rear, maybe drop shackles and hangers.
