My 71 C10
I've been shopping for ever to find this. I'm flying in to pick it up and drive it 12 hours home, yup roadkill style..
 I'll have a few videos of the ride home and the beginning of my changes |

Re: My 71 C10
Nice. it would look really sweet a few inches closer to the ground. looks like you have a nice "test" ride ahead/ hope it all goes smoothly.

OK, I'm not sure where you did that test but you have to test the grounds at each component. If you make sure you have ground straps at each location shown in the thread I posted you should have it pretty well covered. I also posted a picture of the gauge cluster ground in that thread. LockDoc

I know the old 3/5 or 4/6 drop is super popular with you kids these days, but some of us old enough to remember shackles on Novas and torsion bars cranked up on Mopars have a soft spot for stock ride height.
