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.

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

Ok thanks man. Here are some more pics of the HD8 wheels.

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.

I really like that Intro Torino wheel! Might finally be time to crack open the piggy bank! The ones in the pic below are American Racing Artillery's

Before and after the 3-inch drop in the rear. I haven't completed the one-inch drop up front yet. The new coils and shocks evened out the height. I am truly blown away at how much better the truck rides comfort wise. No more banging around after every pothole.

Recent pics of our '72 C20 Custom Camper with Hidden Hitch and Helper Airbags, so she can still work for us when needed.

I spent the past couple of weeks getting this ol girl on the ground. I took it off the jack stands last night and giggled like a little kid when I saw the final product. I’ll get it outside in the daylight soon for a side shot.
To tell you that I’m excited is an understatement! 💪

Looks great.

So what are the details? Low much of a drop? Tire/wheel size?


Looks great

Had no idea there were so many lowered c20's out there! Here's mine before and after.
4" lower springs in the rear and 2" drop spindles in front. Got the drop spindles and disc break set up from Performanceonline.

Seriously cut this crap out. You’ve made over 75 posts in 24 hours and I’m not the only one that finds this annoying. Use this forum as intended not as your personal page

Asking the same question over and over by hijacking threads is considered spam, and is against board rules. Please stop doing this immediately. Thank you.

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.
