Re: Hooker 68-72 big block Chevelle headers fit my 69 C10
I have a 4" - 4" drop with a big block on factory small block springs. The collector flanges are 2-1/2" off the street. I'll post some pics tomorrow...If you plan on using your truck for a daily driver, these long tubes wont last. I have metal inserts in my springs up front as well as a half coil cut off the bottoms. Its stiffer than the 2" drop springs. I did that to clear the 30" BFG 60's I had at that time. I have 5" wide, 28" Mickey T's on it now and added the big block that squatted the front even more. But this truck see's an occasional drag strip, street races and shows and not alot of miles of uncharted street. 4" drop is the borderline for long tube headers in my opinion.
