Re: Next step
You have a couple options depending on how much you want to spend.
Porterbuilt has arms that have more drop and I believe will clear the frame. You can either go with all his stuff of then piece together the rest of what you need: http://pbfab.com/63-72-stage-2-deluxe-rear-kit No Limit has a rear frame section that raises everything 4 inches: http://nolimit.net/products#!/C10-Re...tegory=6157532 Or you could Z the rear frame: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=485504

Re: Next step
You can. You limit will be when the arms hit the frame. If you arent laying out up front then you may never notice. Take a look at this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=593436

Re: Next step
Thanks man. Good info in that thread. I think I'll go with his setup. Seems simple enough. Bigger notch and run the bags off the axle. Should get my rear end down another 3-4".

Re: Next step
Flipping the front brackets will help keep the pinion angle under control as you drop it lower.

The brackets that your trailing arms are connected to in the front. You can grind/drill out the rivets and bolt the brackets back on upside down. You can also add a aluminum spacer in between to help center your wheels.
