Rear suspension differences c10 vs burb
On the verge of buying a ridetech coilover kit for my 73 burb. The kit is designed from the truck. We all know the front stuff is all the same. I'm told the rear is not. Doing some googling the lwb c10 frames are slight different lengths as well as shape. I'm wondering if the suspension is the same? If they are, I shouldnt have much of an issue locating the ride tech stuff but if for some reason its wildly different, I'll skip the ride tech 4 link and go a different route. I cant imagine gm would have changed it much. I dont have a c10 truck to compare.

Re: Rear suspension differences c10 vs burb
It's the actual frame that's different I think. Different spots where they raise for the bed n such.

Re: Rear suspension differences c10 vs burb
If the frame height is the same (and it should be) only thing I can see an issue is doesn't the c-notch sit above the frame? If so could cause alignment issues with the body n such... I don't mess with lowered stuff though, I normally go the other direction lol

Re: Rear suspension differences c10 vs burb
One of the Ride Tech guys is on the board. I bet he would have a definitive answer for you, as far as if the kit will fit or not.
