Lowered my burb

I lowered my 71 C10 burb at work the other day. We were slow so I took advantage of all the parts I got from fellow board members(va72c10,teeitup,elwoods76 and thelonerife. Thanks fellas!!) 3inch drop springs and new ball joints for the front, 4 inch rear drop springs and kyb shocks. I will tell you this the right rear coil spring was a pain to get out and in thanks to the fuel lines ran on that side but with the help of a coworker we got it. Once I got it off the rack and on to the aligner the drop worked wonders for my caster. It got in creased to 4.1 and 3.9 which is alot better than 1 and I only had to shim one side for camber. I also took the oppurtunity to put my rally wheels on with my "custom" homemade center caps now I just need some beauty rings. Enough with the blah blah heres some pics.

You will love how your Burb feels when you get the front sway bar on. ECE sells special sway bar brackets for lowered trucks and they are cheap. If you don't already have one get one from a heavy 3/4 or 1 ton and again you probably already know this but in case you do not, any bar from a 1973 to 1987 truck will work.
