3” Rear drop and stock front

Hey guys. I’m wanting to lower the rear of my stock 1967 C10 but keep the front at its current level. I already own a set of CPP 3” drop Rear spring. Would this level it out? Any thoughts?

- Just get the tape measure out and see how far the rear wheel well is off the pavement and compare it to the front!

It should, hard to say for sure because springs settle over the years. The factory put a 2" rake in our trucks too allow for hauling loads. So with that said, I say go for it! If you dont like it, rear springs are easy... PS. Leave the tape in tool box and just go for it!

Re: 3” Rear drop and stock front

I did this on 2 different trucks. they were both swb stepsides. the first one it leveled it out very evenly. the second truck the back sits abit lower than the front. here is the first one idid. the second one seems to sit lower. I will have to get a picture tomorrow.
