Re: Hi guys 1971 c20 is what I have I need to know cheapest way to drop the truck it

That HD C20 leaf spring pack is way different than what was on leaf sprung C10's. Not real responsive to lowering. A flip kit requires cutting and welding spring perches onto the axle tubes. Not a quick fix to say the least. Trying to heat those front coils isn't as easy as you might think. The C20 front coils are about as thick as a roll of quarters...

Just drive it. Unless you swap everything over to C10 suspension you're into it for a more cash than its worth.
