72 c10 lowering
 

I need to level my chevy 72 c10 with rear coil springs (no camper special) truck out i dont really wanna lower it but i want to lower the back end just enough were its level with the front end
Anyway i could do that without replacing any springs? And it rides smooth now i would like to keep it that way

Re: 72 c10 lowering
 

If you are talking 1-2" you could do it with blocks and longer u bolts.

How? Im new to this truck i just bought it so...

Re: 72 c10 lowering
 

Ive never lowered anything so im kinda wonderin how a fella might go about leveling the rearend with the front end by lowering it

Re: 72 c10 lowering
 

I would get some lower springs, probably the easiest way actually and the benefit of new springs.

Re: 72 c10 lowering
 

Just be aware that the original springs are going to have some sag from age. You might buy a spring that is 1 or 2" lower and it might just barely lower it. I would at least measure your ride height and check against factory specs. You would know then what springs to get. Sorry for rambling. :hm:

Good point^^^^

Re: 72 c10 lowering
 

Blocks are quick, easy, and cheaper than springs with a guaranteed drop of what you have now. Either build your own with some steel tubing .125" or thicker and have new u bolts 2 " longer maid at a spring shop or order a kit from Borris at way 2 low.

Do they have a website? I need to lower my 71 another inch in the back.

I think he is referring to the member Borris. Username way2lo2

Most major distributors sell lowering blocks...

Here is one (only because I'm shopping for other parts now)
