Re: 1969 c10 can't make my mind

I’ve got a ‘69 short step. 4.5”/7” drop. Leaf spring flip so no a lot of choice in rear. Not my daily, but drive it anywhere anytime. 235 55 17 in front and 275 55 17 rear. Added front sway bar when I did disc conversion.

17” wheels are with modern size/style tires so worth it.

I’d do same all over again. My truck is original paint patina but not as much as yours. If I had your truck I’d do same except run 5” coil in rear and tailor height with a 1” or 2” inch block.

IMO, 3/4 tone coil will hurt driveability. Call ECE with your credit card and be good to go!
