Re: 1985 C10 - LWB build

Did some work this weekend trying to sort out my stance and also try to address the lean.

Installed some 1" lift shackles in the rear, also swapped the leafs from side to side just in case one was worn out more than the other.

Before:


After:


Unfortunately this did not fix my lean.

Also cut a smidge more out of the fronts to try and get a rake. I'm at 1-1/2 coils out of the driver side, 2 full coils out of the passenger. Good news! The look is right where I want it to be! The lean is GONE except for 1/2" difference in the back!





The bad news! Its almost completely undriveable. So much rub in the front now over any kind of hump/bump. Also rubbing on the passenger inside lip on hard turns (passenger tire is closer to fender than drivers... weird). And it's so firm now that either my spring rate is a million or my shocks are bottoming out.

So now I'm stuck in indecision. Do I ditch my flip kit for shackles/hangers to raise it up to a driveable height (and new coils obviously). Or do I modify the inner fenders and trim...
