Question about lowering springs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Patina · 10-23-2011, 12:36 PM

Any input from you guys/gals concerning who makes the best lowering springs for a 65 c10. I'm not talking crazy in the weeds slammed just 2" all around maybe even 3" in front 2" in back (I want a slight rake)

looking for quality in both the manufacturing department and ride/handling characteristics. Basically I don't want the truck to handle like a lowered civic if you catch my drift.

Here is a list of companies that seem to have a good following given my limited research on the forum and google but like I said I will consider anything right now...

Eibach
Belltech
CPP

I will not be cutting coils or getting Jeep springs so keep those suggestions to yourselves. Thanks for any input!

I've purchased 2 different sets from Early Classic Enterprises, for previous trucks that I've owned, and I was very happy with them. With that said, start the rear lowering with 2" lowering blocks before you go to lowered springs. It will achieve the same effect and you won't sacrifice ride quality. No Limit Engineering sells them and they're a forum vendor.
