Could you recomend me the best solution to drop my Truck. I don't know if the best choise is 3" drop DJM Control Arms or 3" drop spindles considering the performance in daily use. The other 2" I think that I'll use short springs. For rear 6” FLIP KIT WITH C-NOTCH.
The idea is a nice look and improve the estability to Hi speed.

Thanks for any help
Best Regards

Stay away from djm parts are poorly made an those controls the spring pocket will scape an even seen one break.....always go spindles and springs....go with belltech flip kit an c notch rear with some shock extenders for front go with western chassis spindles an springs an get some belltech drop shocks front and rear....

Re: I'd like Dropp my 79 C10
 

Also get belltech sway bars if you want it to handle bettee also

What do you think about CPP parts to drop 5.5/7?

Re: I'd like Dropp my 79 C10
 

don't knw anything bout them.....I wont use anything but western chassis and belltech....as I had used them before an are the best

Re: I'd like Dropp my 79 C10
 

Could you tell me the best way to drop 7" rear?
Rear I'm thinking in belltech c-notch/flip kit (6") and shackles (2-3").
Could you recommend me a shock set?

Thanks a lot

Re: I'd like Dropp my 79 C10
 

yes use belltech flip an 2" shackles and you can get on summit racing an find belltech shocks......I think I still have my drop shocks when I had 5/6 drop I can get you the part numbers

I just got mine dropped today. 1985 Longbed Scottsdale

Question: Does anyone have clearance issues with front wheels?

I did a 4.5 drop in the front and a 6 inch in the rear.

I currently have 15 inch rallies but would like to change up the tire combination. Wondering if that will help?

Would appreciate any input

Re: I'd like Dropp my 79 C10
 

what do you mean clearance issues? tire rubbing? wheel rubbing on control arm? need more details man

Re: I'd like Dropp my 79 C10
 

Sorry tires are rubbing on wheel well. There is only about a inch above the tire.
Looks great I just have to fix the rub before I have a blow out.

Re: I'd like Dropp my 79 C10
 

Yes, please .... could you send me de codes?

Thanks a lot

Re: I'd like Dropp my 79 C10
 

Good info, but this is one place that Belltech is not necessary. You can use a OEM sway bar from a C10 or a C20 and accomplish the same thing for a lot less money.

This is so true..$25.00 at the junkyard. Huge difference in handeling.

Re: I'd like Dropp my 79 C10
 

your right, that didn't even pop in my head! lol

Re: I'd like Dropp my 79 C10
 

I will get them today

Re: I'd like Drop my 79 C10
 

summit says 2103ha for 5" drop front for 6" drop rear 2208hf

Re: I'd like Drop my 79 C10
 

Thanks a lot bbbc10!!
With this kit you need relocation or extended shock hardware?

Best regards
