Interesting how a person's tastes change over time. I have to credit this site for the many different things I have tried that I would have never tried before.

For example, it was not too long ago that I thought people who lowered their C20s were crazy: now I am seriously thinking of doing the same thing.

I see that since this thread began that GMC Paul has started stocking not just a 2-4 drop, but 3" front and 6" rear coils for the C20s. I was wondering if anyone had tried such a drop using springs only, and if it is as simple as swapping them out, or if there is more to it than that. My truck has a coil spring rear, so I am wondering if I can get some good results this easily. Since I have drums in front it would seem that spindles are not an option unless I switch to discs. I would prefer not to do that right now, so am looking for the lowest drop I can get using coils only.
