I know of @ least 1 member that had >22's but I can't recall his screen name. His truck was @ SEMA multiple years though....

http://youtu.be/zGsg4TSw5_U Try searching the Reyna bros c10 I believe they have two c10's lowered with 24" rims in the rear and 22" in the front.

Re: anyone with pics of a square on 24's and porterbuilt suspension at ride height

Thanks guys. I ask cause I already bought the complete Porterbuilt Level 3 front dropmember & McGaughy 2.5" drop spindles for the front, gonna convert to 5 lug. As for the rear setup, I may go with Porterbuilt or maybe the KP components (Chassisworks) rear setup. I've seen tons of pics of squares on 22, 24, 22/24 with the Porterbuilt components but not really seen any at ride height on these wheels. I've been trying to decide on the wheel setup I wanted to with; 22, 24, or 22/24. Since I'm going with the long bed, I kinda thought the 24's in the rear would stand out.

My buddy has been doing a bunch of 67-72 drops lately for Rhea's Chevy's. You can checkout pics of some of the builds on his instagram at chassisfabjohn. Unfortunately not many are with Dropmembers it may give you an idea of the look on 24's.

*Sorry, just noticed what year you were after.

Thanks Blown06. I appreciate it. I do have a rheaschevs instagram bookmarked. I'll check it out your budds to though.

Sorry , forgot the info. The pic 2 posts back is what I'm starting with. Got it from the 2nd owner who's had is since '94. He towed a 5th wheel camper with it all the time. He is a rattlesnake wrangler, FOR REAL, and has been for years. My wife made me check the truck thoroughly before she'd ride in it.

Re: anyone with pics of a square on 24's and porterbuilt suspension at ride height

Off topic a little. You have a level 3 front dropmember for a C20? If it's 8 lug than I'm a little confused. I'm about to buy another dropmember and was told that the c20/c30 would only need the level 2 because of the height difference of the frame bump...

Re: anyone with pics of a square on 24's and porterbuilt suspension at ride height

Mine is 8-lug but I've going to convert it to 5-lug by swapping the rear end and the front rotors. I have c10 spindles, ball joints, and Porterbuilt upper and lower control arms. I ordered mine through one of Porterbuilt's authorized vendors. I specified in great detail the truck I had, and what I was planning on doing and that's what I was sent. Best I can remember though, I had contacted Porterbuilt about a year ago on this topic and I think that's what they told me was that a Level 2 would be sufficient because of how the frame hangs lower below the body of the C20/30 than a 10. But I am going to cut the frame even with the pinchweld of the truck and weld in some 2x3 steel tubing inside the frame so I believe the level 3 will be necessary to achieve getting the pinchweld to the ground.

I have not installed mine yet as I only have the front. I'm saving right now to get the rear. Then I will have to save again to get my air management system. I probably won't have mine on for another year and a half or better, which stinks.
