Stock 65 C20 Ride Height
Anyone have information on 65 c20's stock ride height/stance?
I want to lift the truck a little using some slightly longer springs but I also want it to sit level. If I bring it up an inch in the front, would I need to add an inch to the rear springs as well or would I only need .5" inch to get it level. I know LMC shows something similar for lowering for the 67-72 trucks, but haven't found anything for the 65. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Frank |

Re: Stock 65 C20 Ride Height
What size tires and rims? There were multiple tire and rim combinations available from the factory.

Re: Stock 65 C20 Ride Height

Re: Stock 65 C20 Ride Height
Typical 2" difference. So if stock rear figure two inch in front to level. Rear is taller to compensate for load. So when loaded the truck will sag with the nose taller.

Re: Stock 65 C20 Ride Height
Anyone think of any issues with a +1.5 or 2" spring in front, as it relates to the upper control arm?
