Lifting rear of '70 C-10 Sub - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm wanting to lift my '70 C-10 Sub 2-3" to run 33x10.50x15 tires.....the front I have figured out, but what about the rear coil springs?

I'd rather not do spacers, but open to suggestions or sources or pics! LOL

Thanks!
Doc

I don't know if any body has tried this or done this, but what about an axle flip kit to put the trailing arms on top of the axle? All you would need to do is weld some new perches on the axle, seems pretty straight forward, and should give you a couple inches of lift, and still have a factory ride quality.

That would give around 6" lift or so....a little more than I want.

Thanks!

Im lifting the rear of my '69 C-20 this weekend...i just had some custom coil springs made(3" lift).I have already did the front end awhile ago..just going to level it out a bit.New springs would be the best bet i would think...good luck with your project.
