1968 c10 prostreet suspension attention

[71chevswb]

I've got a 1968 c10 shortbed 6 lug truck that is in need of some serious suspension attention. Above 60mph it shakes pretty good. It's got a 454 BBC (~500 HP), wide rear tires (18") and its Tubbed about 5".

It's currently rolling on drop springs, lowering block in the rear (1"), and some drop a-arms up front. Putting it at about a 5/7 drop. It rides like crap but has a decent stance. The shocks are still mounted to the factory location and have a steep angles. So I need a rear track bar relocation setup and shock relocators too.

When I go to upgrade the brakes this winter what suspension set up would you do? Budget is a factor!

Should I stick with a static/spring drop? ECE? I don't really want it any higher than it is, thinking an ECE 4/6 drop isn't low enough?!

I'm considering bagging it but between the full exhaust and wide tires, I'm not sure how much lower it can go. Also, are bags a bad idea with that much horsepower?


Let me know what you would do. Thanks!
