Hi Gang
I have a 74 C10 Burb pictured below. I wanna do a "flip on the rear, and have everything I need for that. One of my question is, whats spring/spindle combo do I need for the front to make it level, or maybe a very slight rake? Second question, wheres the most reasonable priced place to shop?? Thanks and Happy Holidays from Daytona Beach!

Burb's looking really nice, the wheels and bumpers made a huge difference.

As for the drop, I would go with a 2.5" spindle, and a 2" drop coil and that should get you pretty close but I think you will still have a little rake. I'm not sure if the burbs are like blazers but I got close to 7-8" of drop from my flip kit so I ended up having to do a 2" shackle to bring the rear back up. Make sure you get some pics up once it's lowered, I cant wait to see how it looks
