1972 c10 lowered
 

finally lowered my c10 went with a 3/5 drop, looks great i think, dont need a shock relocation kit when your shocks are shot so thats nice. jk ill get shocks on er soon lol, tired of daily driving a bouncy house :haha:

Looking good. :metal:

I think it looks great, I was curious to see it because not too many people do a 3/5 drop with springs alone.

Very advantageous to someone who has a truck with no spindles - like me - on my 68. Please keep posting your progress with the truck!

oh yeah, im grateful to have a factory five lug and front disc brake truck. 3 inch drop springs in the front with no drop spindle is kind of pushing it through, whenever i jack the front end up it almost takes the springs out of its pickets. makes for some very concerning sounds going back down

Rear coils or leafs. I have a '72 long bed as well but with rear leafs. I wanna do a 3/5 drop as well. Looks good.

Re: 1972 c10 lowered
 

hey thanks, thankfully ive got coils all around, id say 3 inch drop springs in the front and drop blocks? or maybe flip your leaf springs. thats pretty tricky, you dont want to put 5 inches of blocks in er, maybe take out some leafs so its not as stiff. they probably. make drop leaf springs, who knows

Sounds like you won't want to go over any speed bumps! How does it ride?

Re: 1972 c10 lowered
 

she does some self clearancing for sure! :lol: rides about as good as it can get cutin bump stops and no shocks, theyre all gone, need some drop shocks soon.

Looking good!

From what I understand, standard shocks should work fine in the front. Rear, I'm not so sure.

Looks good.

Re: 1972 c10 lowered
 

3/5 springs on mine never rubbed on any speed bumps. Still not low enough for me so i put 2” blocks in the rear and waiting on disc with drop 2.5” drop spindles for the front. Truck rides amazingly well on the springs and relocated shocks

Re: 1972 c10 lowered
 

theres a speed bump by the costco thats near me thats just the absolute worst. so tall amd narrow. cost of being low, :lol:
