Re: 1972 c10 lowered

I think it looks great, I was curious to see it because not too many people do a 3/5 drop with springs alone.

Very advantageous to someone who has a truck with no spindles - like me - on my 68. Please keep posting your progress with the truck!

Re: 1972 c10 lowered

oh yeah, im grateful to have a factory five lug and front disc brake truck. 3 inch drop springs in the front with no drop spindle is kind of pushing it through, whenever i jack the front end up it almost takes the springs out of its pickets. makes for some very concerning sounds going back down

Rear coils or leafs. I have a '72 long bed as well but with rear leafs. I wanna do a 3/5 drop as well. Looks good.

hey thanks, thankfully ive got coils all around, id say 3 inch drop springs in the front and drop blocks? or maybe flip your leaf springs. thats pretty tricky, you dont want to put 5 inches of blocks in er, maybe take out some leafs so its not as stiff. they probably. make drop leaf springs, who knows
