What size drop & where to buy parts? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ianjenkins · 04-08-2003, 05:04 PM

I need to replace the springs on a 70 ½ ton c-10

I’d like to go with a slight drop but don’t want to change the brakes or the shock mounts. What size drop should I go for and where do you recommend buying the parts? I live in Maryland so CA shipping is a big kick in the nuts!

Thanks

Going from what other guys say, you can do a 2 inch drop without changing nothing more than the springs.

I have a set of western chassis drop leafs that I will be selling soon. They have never been on the road. They have also been powdered Black. Let me know. Make me a offer.

Give Tim Christian a call on lowering kits. He is in Tennessee so shipping cost shouldn't be that bad.

But the new store is actually about 7 miles East of Rockville out by Raccoon Lake State Recreation area just off Hwy 36. Give us a call sometime if you need directions.
