static dropp info new game plan

[brans72]

So wife said no to bagging the truck since wants to paint etc now. So she is ok to static drop. I was think 4/6 drop using mcgaughys parts and maybe shock relocators from ECE. Can anyone help me figure out better set up? 67 SWB C10 with 83 front cross member and 15 inch rallys. Figure spingles,springs,relocators. I have kyb's already and ajdustable panhard bar. Thanks for help

so far seems i am like price and quality of mcgaughtys parts and maybe no limits rear shock relocators. say 2 inch drop spindle 2 spring fron 3 spring rear with 2 inch block from what i read is better the 5 inch spring.

cpp is cheap on ebay but their customer service isn't great (check the review board) If you can buy through a vendor here (several sell CPP) you'd be better off.

That being said....since you are already doing spindles and new shocks/relocators....
you can get airbags fairly cheap....pick up way2lo2's schraeder valve kit and four bags and you can set up the bags with air to equal a 4.5/6 drop... (or even 5.5/7 if you do a c-notch) Then....down the road when you do have more money/time to upgrade to bags all you have to do is buy the air management setup....

If you're looking at mcgaughy's springs you can get four bags for around the same price if you look for deals...

va makes good sense I understand but air management system that kinda hurt billfold, and never done manual set up so not sure how it would work besides have the valves easy to access to fill and keep tank handy to fill if need. Be glad to listen to options on air bag system as I think would be better right to go even if I hold off on drop spindles for now and do say Porter built stage 1 front and rear minus shocks which I already have and says me $80 on kit. Wheels turning in head think what the hell do I truely do!!!!!
