any one know < I am having a little trouble finding one> who makes a 5"/7" drop for a 69 c-10 with springs trying to steer clear of bags thanks for any help

You could do 6" springs out back with 1" blocks. In front ECE drop spindles and 2" springs will give you a 5 1/2" front and 7" rear.

This is the set up im thinkin about do. does anyone have pics. An can u run the inner wheel well an hows it turn?

I have run this setup with 15" wheels and p235/70r35 tires with plenty of clearance. You will want to c-notch the rear otherwise you will bottom out the axle tubes on the frame on hard bumps. But as for the front I could do u-turns over speed bumps and not rub. Just make sure you leave the lower control arm bump stops in. By the way ECE aka Early Classic Enterprises will have all you need for this drop. Great guys.

I think the OP was looking for an all in one kit for a 5/7 drop, and I don't think anyone sells this drop as a kit.

If I were to do a 5/7 and didn't have any parts, I'd do a 3" spindle (swapping the BJ's since the 3" is only available in the 73+ where 72- only go 2.5") with a 2" spring for the front and a 5" spring with a 2" block in the rear including a c-notch, super track bar and shock relocators. I'd like to have the tallest spring in hopes for the best possible ride.

CPP super slam is as close as you'll get to a full kit
