Dropped swb
Trying to figure out what stance is preferred,do most try and keep their c10 level or with some rake to the make? I have 5" Springs for the back and 2 1/2 " spindlesfor the front,trying to figure out how much spring drop would work best for the front.I don't want to go lower in the back
Any suggestions |

Re: Dropped swb
I have 4 1/2 total drop both front and rear and truck has some rake. Some of that is suspension and some tires. I like a little rake in mine. I would start with a set of 2" springs in the front and see how it sits.

Re: Dropped swb
Frame height will be about the same.

Re: Dropped swb
3" notched cross member, 3 drop control arms, 2.5" drop spindles, and 2" drop springs. Then I did a small frame mod that gave me another 1/2" along with a few more degrees of caster.
