Lowering the back

I am lowering the rear of my 72' C10, so far it has 3 inch lowering springs. It is still sitting too high not matching the front of my truck. I want a lowered even stance front and back.

I have a strict budget, so I would like to use an adjustable pan hard bar, pair of shock relocators and 2 inch lowering blocks. The rear drop will total 5 inches. Don't want to C-notch it. Are there any other recommendations?

Also having difficulties finding after market truck parts that sells the adjustable pan hard bar, pair of shock relocators and 2 inch lowering blocks. Any recommendations on where to buy this items as a kit?

Thanks!

CPP carries all three of those items. Look up board member 'CPPJEFF' and call the number by his avatar. He will cut you a deal for being a board member

He's slow to respond. I've been waiting for a price quote via PM since Saturday.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Lowering the back

You have to call him. And when you order ask him to process right then. Saves 4 or 5 days.

If I were 'making' some & had the material, I would use these uppers vs. how I do them using the existing brackets. Better angles using Lakeroadsters upper mounts.....

Page-4 starting @ post #51 if you must see the info immediately. I recommend reading the whole thing....
