drop and level '70 C10
I want to lower my '70 C10 an inch or 2 in the front, but mor than that i want level the truck out, i just think longbeds look right level...if i dropped an inch in the front HOW FAR would i have to drop it in the back to level it?? i plan on using new coils to do the drop, just gotta figure out which ones.
thanks Daniel J. Ludwig

I'd drop it two inches more in the back than the front.
That's why 4/6 drops are so common. They slam and level the truck

so 1 and 3?? do you know of anyone on here that has a longbed lowered 1 and 3? just curious as to what it looks like. also will lowering the truck make it harder to drive, i still have manual steering.
thanks

2/4
I have a 72 longbed with a 2" / 4" drop done with Early Classic coils. Has a very slight rake, but that could be the tires as well. 255/60/15 front, 275/60/15 rear. Early classic also has example shots on their website with different coils so you can get an idea of how it will look.

need more drop
i looked at several different trucks, and what i think i will go with is probably Early Classic's 2" springs up front and either 5" or 6" springs out back. i think 2 and 6 will be about right, and if it is alittle low in the rear that will just be an excuse to go taller on the rear tire.
thanks for all the help!
