No problem. You can take her for a few laps at the GoodGuys in November if you like.

Re: Wideride C10 IFS

Here are some more pics. The coilovers are set at the lowest position, so I believe I can raise it 2" from this point with spring adjustment. My front tires are just under 28".

Re: Wideride C10 IFS

Man, that looks like a pretty serious weight savings. Anybody know how much the difference in weight is between those two?

Re: Wideride C10 IFS

How does the steering column hook to the rack? Great looking truck by the way. Is it going to be a fleet or stepper?

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Wideride C10 IFS

The finished installation will need two U-joints and appx 16" of steering shaft. The lower U-joint is a 3/4-36 spline, the upper will depend on the column used.

Re: Wideride C10 IFS

I like that wide ride and it seems to work fine with 15 inch wheels as well!
Very slick truck with that nice red skin!
Keep the pics coming!
