The lowering thing has my head hurting....can I

[62ChevyStep]

Brawley,

I used 2 1/2" drop spindles along with 1" drop springs in the front. ( I have a 86' C10 front crossmember and components) did away with the torsion bar front end. had to go to shorter shocks, and did weld on new shock mounts on the frame.

In the rear I just installed 5" drop springs. I have right at 5" of space between the rear axle and the bottom of the frame, and I have no C-notch installed. When I had my stepside bed on I have hauled a 350 SBC and 700r4 in the back and had no problem with the suspension bottoming out. I didn't have to change out the rear shock mounts, originally purchased a bit "too much shock" have refitted with a softer shock from my NAPA store and rides great. I did have a custom (ECE custom fabbed it to my spec's) panhard bar.

I will see if I can get out to the shop and shoot some pictures this evening for you and post them.
