Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

275/60/15 all around. I'd get 255's in the front next time since the front rub a little over bumps.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Just installed all new suspension on my '79. It's a 4/6 drop. I went with CPP upper and lower control arms. CPP 2.5" drop spindles and 1.5" springs. Flip kit for the rear. It rubs in the front so I need new tires. Right now I have 275/60/15.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Here is my 77. approximately 10.5" drop in the front, and about 8 or so in the rear, but not finished yet.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Just finished installing new stock height front springs, Moog 6082, and McGaughy's 2.5" drop spindles. Unfortunately the new spindles hit my 4.5" backspaced 15"x 10" wheels so now I'm wheel and tire shopping. In the picture I've got 7/16 spacers on the front wheels so they are sticking out extra far.

JUST 2 in drop spindles in front and 4 in drop springs in rear? 4 in drop leaf springs? Did you have to notch the frame to avoid hitting it? I have. A 71 c10 with rear leafs and trying figure a good way to bring it down.

Not a c-10, but a c-20 with 20"s need to lower it next.
