Thanks! I love the way it sits as well. It is a static drop.

Front had from what I understand, as it was this stance already when I got it, was 1.5 coil cut in the front, all else stock other than the steering bump stops removed.
Rear 2 inch drop blocks and different springs not sure what those were but my guess all the way around it is about a 4 to 5 inch drop in the front and rear about a 4 to 5 as well is a guess.

Re: Our 1966 C10 "Catalina"
Thanks! I am not sure. My mechanic got it. It fits perfect for sure. I can ask him. But it would have been from a local parts house I am pretty sure.

It was like this when I got it. Static drop. I believe the front coils cut 1.5 coils off. And the back was 2 inch drop blocks a and shorter spring I believe.

So I am guessing about a 5 inch drop in the front and about 4 to 5 in the back.
