C10 2 inch rear drop

[yernkie]

I’d like to drop the back of my 68 C10 long bed so it sits level. What are the pros and cons of blocks vs coils?

Blocks will lower your scrub line so you need to be aware of if you have a flat tire the trailing arm or shock mount might drag. Might not be an issue at all, but worth checking. Springs don’t bring that issue into play.

with 15" wheels a 2" block will allow your u-bolts to drag if a tire goes flat. 1.5" is the max you should run if staying with 15" wheels

It sounds like I would be better off with drop coils and shocks. Thanks for the info.

JUst remember, you have50+ year springs on it now. 2" drop springs may not look like much since you already got the "time drop" built into you current ones.
