70 C10 drop 4/2

[Copperman]

Hi all,
Been on this site for years but don't post much. So much great info here. I wanted to post up my drop. My truck had 22's on it and I rode on them for years and hated them. I bought 4/2 drop springs, drop shocks for the front and adjustable air shocks for the rear. I haul some heavy stuff from time to time. My goal was to level the truck and bring it down a bit.

I started with 17x8 wheels and 255/60-17 tires all around. The rear came down 4" nicely and was straight forward. The only problems I had was my pipes came down on my diff so I had them rerouted. You can see the adjustable panhard bar I made in this pic as well. I ratchet strapped the axle over to center it up and cut/tacked my panhard bar. It moved a bit when the strap was removed so I made the adjustable one. I sleeved a 5/8" bolt to the bar and coupling nut. Worked great.

Replaced the springs in the front by removing the U-bolts and replaced the shocks. To my surprise I already had 2" drop springs and was not happy. So I replaced them with 4" springs to get my 2" drop.

It sit's nice now and drives and handles great.
