Lowest?
Meaning the bottom of the coil over shock?
Or the crossmember?

Lowest point is on the bottom of the A-arm. This is the closest point to the ground.

Been thinking about my build and kinda worried about the front spring rate and ride height . I have a all aluminum ls6 and t56. What is the spring rate set up for that comes with the kit ? Sbc with iron heads? I know on my 68 when I went from an iron block ls to a aluminum block the front suspension came up a little . I didn't measure the rise but I fore sure noticed it.

If you call ride tech they will tell you what you need based on info you give them.

Just the c notch that comes with the kit for the frame in the rear. Great ride and fit. I highly recommend this kit.

I got the kit installed for my 66 and the frame powdercoated. Still a long ways to go before I set the cab and bed back on but I am very happy with the quality of the parts.

Still need to tighten all the bolts and order front spindles and sway bars.

Looks great! Being a GMC was your truck a Trailing arm truck from factory or a leaf sprung truck?

Hugger67rsss 02-04-2015 03:58 PM

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 
It was factory leaf springs, I called and talked to Josh when I was installing it. I only had 1 hole to line up the notch template. I got it figured out though.

chase@ridetech 02-04-2015 05:18 PM

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 
Good, We need to get a GMC in here to do an updated template. We have several customers with leaf sprung trucks converted over, but just haven't had one here to check the reference holes.

Not yet. I'm waiting on the powder coater right now. Soon as I get that back I'll start posting pics.

Plan to order tires for my build that has this ridetech kit. I'm have 18x9.5 in the front with 5.5 backspace. I'd like to run a 295-40-18 front and rear. What do you guys think ? I have stock inner fenders also.

I started installing mine this past weekend. Goes together very easy...this ridetech stuff is very nice!

Re: RideTech's New C10 CoilOver Kits
 
Can the factory front sway bar be used with this kit, or do you have to buy the MuscleBar?
