in this statment above what #'s do you use to divide the wheel base (If you have 60% in the front and 40% in the back, then take your wheel base and divide it by that amount. 100” wheel base would put you at 40” from the front axle. The height is a little more difficult.) this thread really has my attention. I was up most of the night in the shop with a copy of this trying to lay it out on the shop floor. I'm getting ready to do some front end work to my truck in the next few weeks and figured i would go ahead and do the drop spindles and custome springs you were discussing. also when i take the truck to be scaled should i manually lock the suspesion a ride level i want to get correct springs. does qa1 make a stocker adjustible for the 71 c10's. Can't wait for the rest of your chapters, i believe i can really start killing the mustangs now with this info, everybody in my county thinks I'm crazy for trying to race this big heavy truck but i like it.
