How low have you gone on your 63-66 C-10?

I'm staying with coil springs, planning on just cutting them down. I may entertain drop spindles if they make them for drum brakes.

How low have you gone?

This is for my 61 Suburban, running a 66 C10 front suspension. Right now the front end is sitting stock, the rear end is about 13" from the ground to the back bumper with 235/75/15 tires.

Any info would help, pics would be great!

Thanks again,

Evan

 

Bump? 39 views and nobody has lowered their C-10?

 

My 65 is lowered 2 in inthe front and 2 and a half in the back. I just cut on ring out of the spring and put blocks in the back. Rides fine with no problems.

 

Thanks. That's what I was wanting to get a feel of, how much drop you actually get from a certain cut. I'll probably start with one ring, as I don't know how much drop I really have in the rear, since I was dealing with a leaf sprung 4x4, lift blocks, add a leaves, and all.

 

I have a 63 long fleet, big window, I am just in the middle of a full strip down and lowering project,

1.5" front crossmember section, rear small step notch etc,

 

I have a 63 long fleet, just had the front crossmember sectioned 1.5" and going on air all round,

 

I know cutting 2 coils is too much on these trucks on the front.

 

here is a link to build that i am going to copy

3 inch lowering springs up front,and 6 inch in the back. I agree that 2 cutting 2 coils would look cool,but be too low!!!
