The burb had dropped spindles, 2600 lb. bags,c-ed rear frame, 2 in. blocks in the rear,225-60-16 tires in front, 285-65-16 in the rear. I had that burb about 7 years with no problems of use almost every day.

Looks SICK. what air management did you use. Did you use stock control arms. Any alignment issues in the front? Do you think I could get away with no c notch or a half c notch? I want to tow my camper with it. I have a 6.0 with Cts v supercharger and cts v heads with big fat cam going in mine with a th400 and a gear vendors overdrive :metal:

I do love me some C20/C30's. I own and have owned many of them. The only problem with them especially lowered are the awful wheels. Slotted mags or steelies help but I sure wish there was something out there worth putting on them!

There is Intro has a HD8 series but they are crazy expensive. I like the Kidney bean, torino and twisted vista.

Juddss, I used stock control arms, no alignment issues. I think you will need a full c notch, but in towing loaded 24 ft enclosed trailers, I never did get down on the rear snubbers. You may have to trim a litlle on the back of the control arm for the lower ball joint if I remember correctly.

Also, slow air buttons, no solenoids, nothing fast, just trouble free.

I want to retain my third row seat. I have a family of 6. Have any pics of what your rear floor looked like after the c notch? Also This is absolutely the lowest C20 suburban I have ever seen. Mabye even the lowest C20 truck as well. :metal:

Re: C20 lowered pictures
 
All you have to have is a piece of flat aluminum to cover the hole in the floor. Just cutting the wood will give you enough clearance. I have seen them with a piece of inner tube with a nice trim ring on it. You can still run a seat. You dont need anything like a road grater setup for daily driving.

Looks good man. Info on setup please. What wheels are those and what size tires.

3" lowering springs that had to be chopped to match the axle flip kit in the rear. 2 leafs were removed out if the spring pack. The wheels are ultra phantom 20x9 with nitto 255/45/20 tires. Thanks for the compliment. It rides good, just alittle stiff in the rear end.

I upgraded to disc brakes up front so I ordered the kit from POL. Came with 2.5" drop spindles and I used a 1" lowering spring. In the rear I used a 4 inch drop spring and a 1.5" lowering block.
