2"-3" c10 drop

I'm looking into doing a mild 2" front 3" rear spring drop on my 69 C10. I'm looking to keep my rake (I like the early 70s hot rod vibe ). Dose anyone have any pictures of this type of drop or even a similar stance? They would like to share? I might even do a 2-4 if it will achieve the proper look.

Read pappy 2 thread. He has had a lot of trouble with some vender and parts. It might help you on choosing what you buy.

Not the best picture. But 2.5" drop spindles up front and 3" springs in the rear.

Here is my 70 with 2.5 inch drop spindles up front and 4 inch drop springs in rear. It sits pretty level.

My 67 with 2.5 in front and 4 in rear. Sets about level but I expect the front to settle some when it actually gets driven a bit.

Re: 2"-3" c10 drop

Here's about the only recent pictures I have of mine showing the rake. I have the 2.5" front spindles and 3" rear coils. The staggered tire sizes help to exaggerate the rake.

Pappy 2 had his upper control arms installed on the wrong side. He switched them around and the issue has been resolved. That vendor is OK, just don't use their HD c-notch.
