Re: 1949 Chevy 3100 - the journey begins

After driving the truck and parking it, I soon realized I needed to lower the rear end. I already had been running Sid's 3" lowering blocks in the back and still it was no where near what I was looking for.

Here is a before shot:




I decided to put an order into TCI for their rear leaf spring setup. A couple of the guys run the setups here on the forum and they make top quality products. A couple weeks later, I was greeted by the brown truck and a TCI box was dropped off.

Their kit was very high quality and I was very impressed. Mockup was painless and everything fit like it was suppose to. Primed and painted the shacks and back in everything went. I re-located my rear shocks and swapped out those with a set shorter shocks.

Here was the result:



Everything tucked much better. Exactly the stance I was looking, I did also modify Sid's lowering blocks to get it just a little bit lower.
