4/6 static question
I am in the middle of dropping and converting my C20 to a C10. I custom fabricated all the brackets on a Lincoln 9" rear to mate up to the custom trailing arms that I am also in the middle of building.
My question is what is the distance from the bottom of the frame rail to the top of the axle? I can fab a frame notch if I need to but I have heard that I might not need one. True? Knowing the distance from frame to axle will help me map out the placement of the coil over shocks and pan hard bar. So anyone who has a 4/6 drop a quick measurement is all I need. Thanks Mike

Re: 4/6 static question
Cool thanks, These are custom trailing arms and will not need any lowering blocks.
Yeah I took the bed off already so I had a hard time mapping it w/o a load on it. Mike

Re: 4/6 static question
Mike, IIRC I had 2" between the top of my axle to the frame and 4" from the top of the pumpkin to the bottom of the bed.
