Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
 

Take a look at the pictures on the previous page (and this thread for that matter) before you decide to go with one person's suggestion. You'll need to consider a lot of things before just dropping your truck. First and foremost, what do you want to do with it? Are you planning on using it as a truck (loading things in the bed, towing, etc.), a daily driver (how bad are your roads?) a cruiser (how comfortable do you want your ride?) or just a show truck? If you're at all concerned about ride quality and bad roads, I personally wouldn't do a 5" front drop, but that's me. Remember, the ride gets rougher the lower you go with a pure coil spring drop. If you do a 2.5" spindle and a 2" spring (4.5" drop) it will ride smoother than a 4" or 5" coil only drop.

As for the rear, a 5" to 6" drop is max without having to do some sort of frame modification. Some people will tell you 5" and others say 6". Certain companies sell springs that say they are both a 5" drop but one sits lower than the other, so be careful if you go straight for a 6" coil... do some research. I've seen a couple comparisons between CPP and ECE drop kits, but I don't remember who's springs sit lower or higher.

I changed my rear coils from a 5" coil to a 3" coil and a 2" block, just to get a more comfortable ride. The 5" coil was really rough on these Houston area roads. My back thanks me for that swap too. I have a stock frame and I intend to use the truck as a cruiser with occasional truck duties.

Regardless of what you do, enjoy the truck and good luck.

Tork your truck is awesome bro, love the flippen Patina...

Tell me are you running CPP 3/5 with disk brakes and spindles as well?

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's
 

Thanks for the compliment!

Only suspension work done is 3" CPP springs in front and 5" Cpp sprinsg in the back. It's a 72 so it has factory discs in front. Factory spindles and shocks. The ride is nearly stock if not marginally a tad stiffer. Much better in turns and no more leaning. I ordered from Summit and paid around 200 for F and R.

A good tire size helps to fill the fender gap. Im running 205/70/15 front and 275/60/15 rear.

I have a 70 model truck so drums :(.... and I am saving up to order the disc brake conversion from the states but shipping is a killer at the moment. I want to order spindles too.

Love that you put gas in it where the Lord intended. Peel them chrome thingies off the doors and get the exhaust tucked. Its the truck that a lot of us on here dream of!
