Lowered My Truck Finally, 1969 C10 LSx Stepside

[matthew20061]

Well when I restored my truck I bought a 2/4 spring drop kit from CPP, anyways I'm not sure if since I have a aluminum headed LSX motor that its much lighter than a SBC 350 or what but the front of my truck with the 2 inch front drop springs sat way too high while the rear was nice and low. This was an issue so at the time I just jammed some lift blocks under the rear springs to bring it back up. I finally decided fixed it!!!

So I found my original front springs, and cut off a loop, sand blasted and painted them and removed the lift blocks in the rear, and installed the adjustable CPP panhard bar. This is a before shot:


This is how it turned out after I cut the front springs and installed the rear CPP springs without the spacers:




Keep in mind the front tires are smaller but from the top of the wheel well to the ground its 30.25 in the front and 30.75 in the rear.

Some teaser engine pics, I absolutely can't wait for the month of May to come around so I can take the truck for a drive with the new motor!
