Lowering 67 c 10

[Chevyboyms]

Hey guys I'm lance. First time logging on. Need some help. Got a 67 c 10 I'm working on wondering what's the best way to go by lowering it?

Welcome. That's a pretty loaded question. It's kind of like "what's the best motor to put in my truck". You're going to get a ton of opinions. Spend some time looking at some of the "lets see your bagged truck" or "let's see your static drop" threads and decide how low you want to go. Plus figure your budget as that will play a big role. I can tell you it would have been much much cheaper for me to go static than air as it caused my project to snowball

I totally understand. I want to do a 3/4 drop. Was wonder how do I get a 3 in drop. 2" drop spindle with 2" drop springs?

According to my Frontend shop the best way to drop a vehicle and still keep the Cast and Camber able to bring into specs is to split the measurement between the spindle and the spring... Example is if you want to drop the front 4" then do a 2" drop spindle and a 2" drop spring... Make sure before to take it for alignment you have both the front and rear completed with everything installed... It all does matter to get a perfect alignment accomplished...

Doing it this way make all the geometries stay basically the same... I did a 5.5" front and a 7" rear drop this way and everything came in line perfectly...

I hope this helps you... Dan
