Re: Project Ants Marching 1965 C10 Short Step

Nice starting point, even with the ants and the minor rust.

Shocks - For the front, if you just do the 2.5" spindles, then you can use stock length shocks as the spindle does not effect the distance between the mounting points. If you cut a coil on the spring, then could use a upper shock mount relocation to keep the stock length shock. I believe that ECE and many others sell a set of those brackets.

For the rear, stock length is fine until you get to a 4" drop spring. Then you need to look at mounting point relocation, not just shock length. There are many ways to do this. Just search the forums for how it can be done.
