You're going to get opinions all over the map on this. If you like putting miles on your 'hot rod' every chance you get, then whatever method you choose make sure its engineered for & offers adequate clearance to work.

Ridetech is a reputable source but it will come down to your set-up parameters if/where things are adjustable (settings things to their spec or setting things to "OMG that looks BA" can yield two distinctly different ride/driving quality experiences). The 'Street Grip' line of kits definitely seems a good choice.

Me personally? Their Street Grip would not be low enough because they build the set-up around the limitations of the lowest point on a C10.... the front x-member & a-arm pivots. In order to have good ride characteristics, that point needs to be ~5" off the ground which puts you @ about a 4/6 - 5/7 drop when cruising. Moving those pivot points higher up on the chassis/rails gets you lower w/the same amount of clearance. Of course, old school dropping the body over the chassis can yield a similar result.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
