I think it was actually 3/4s of a coil off of a 2" drop spring. I believe cutting 1/2 of a coil produces a 1" drop. I would start there and adjust as necessary.

4/5 drop with 20x10, 5.5" bs and 295/40 rear, 20x8.5, 4.75" bs and 255/40 front

pablo101 · 10-11-2014, 09:15 AM

My static drop is complete however need some advice. It's a ccp 5"rear springs, 2" modular spindles with 2" drop springs. The truck has 15x10 4"backspace wheels all the way around. I don't have much clearance up front for steering travel the wheels rub the lower control arms when turning..What are some of the wheel dimensions you all would recommend, I want to stay with 15" wheels.
Thanks in advance

rc, truck looks real good. I assume those are Ridlers? Do you have the '67 rear end with 5-lug axles or a '71-72?

Thanks, yes they're Ridler's. And to be honest I'm not sure what rear axle it has. There is probably only .25" clearance between the rear wheel and the inner side of the wheel tub. It's about as tight as it possibly could be without rubbing.

Do you have any other pics of your truck by chance? I would love to see the front and rear suspension up close.

Great job!

awesome truck

Could you take a tape measure and measured from the ground to the top center of the wheel openings front and rear?

Looking at purchasing these wheels to put on my 1968 c10 stepside with the ECE 4.5/6 drop. Will they fit? Its alright if I have to buy new tires for them to fit.

03glide · 01-04-2015, 11:15 AM

4.5/6 CPP parts

JAC10K · 01-05-2015, 09:45 AM

Three up front, 5 in the rear. CPP shocks and springs only so far. The green wheels were just to see how it would look. I'm about to switch them out with some BBS CH-Rs I had on another car.

chevyrestoguy · 01-11-2015, 05:24 PM

Here's my '64:
Front: 1979 C10 front suspension, 3" drop spindles, 1 coil removed, 2" chassis Z, wheelbase moved forward 1" to center the wheels in the front fenders, lower control arms moved 3/4" forward to gain caster. Front wheels 15x6, tires, 215/60-15. Total drop: 7

Rear: 1979 C10 12-bolt narrowed 3 inches total, 5" drop coil, 2" block, ECE Super Track Bar, shocks relocated, forward trailing arm brackets flipped, frame is C-notched. Wheels 15x8.5, tires 265/70-15. Total drop: 7

Ekliptix · 01-12-2015, 07:09 PM

4.5/6.25 ECE drop.
Front: 2.5" drop spindle, 2" drop spring.
Rear: 6" drop spring, 1/4" spacer.
275/60/15 all around. Some rubbing in the front over bumps, so I recommend a slightly more narrow tire up front.

Out of curiousity if I go the 5/7 route, is there any other modifications besides the new springs I'd have to do?! I'm wanting to run 20 inch wheel.
