Slammed 6bt suspension
 
My project is a 63 c10 with a 12v in it and I'm lowering it. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on the front suspension to get something that will hold the weight?

From what I've seen, the 68-87 stuff holds just fine, and i think they will bolt in your frame. I know guys that had fatman mustang 2 setups and went back to stock type suspensions. I have a 68 vette with a 12v in it and the susension in the front is stock minus aftermarket heavier rated springs. It's held up just fine. If you're going frame laying, maybe forged spindles, tubular control arms to help get the geometry back in check, and good quality ball joints and tie rods etc.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if the big block springs would hold it up
