Re: 1972 c10 drop
Easiest and cheapest,... is a spring drop.
The lower you go,... the more is costs. Spindles up front are the best. You can use up to a 6" rear drop spring without having to notch the frame.

Adding springs is up to you. How low do YOU want to go. A 4/6 drop is about the max "streetable drop".

Re: 1972 c10 drop
do you have rear leafs? not to hack the thread but i want to do the same thing on the same truck...how to go the lowest w/o notching...not opposed to bags, especially if i can use them down the road if/when i do notch.
SO GIVE IT UP FELLAS....what are the best parts/pieces/vendors to use to drop these?
