Re: 2WD C10 Modern/Performance Alignments

Hey! Thanks for checking out the thread. Flipping the mounts is great, I'd like to see a 5" spring and a 1" block if you still plan to run 15" wheels. Your stock springs may have had some sag in them which caused an excessive drop. I'm not sure how many 1.5" springs are available. A 2" MAY be a better option and a 4.5"/6" drop looks nice. I have heard of other guys cutting down the bigger truck (C20) springs for a higher spring rate. Everyone that has relocated the lower control didn't seem to have a spring fit issue.

What I meant when I said remove all the shims was that when I removed all the shims on a stock truck and aligned it the angles were still not excessive or in the range of what I was looking for. By relocating the lower arm you'd only have to add shims to equalize caster and camber from side to side.
