New guy in Florida
« on: February 13, 2024, 05:22:24 PM »
Hi from Palm City, Fl. I bought my 86’ C10 a few months ago that I'm in love with. It needs a little work but Im looking forward to digging in. Thanks for the add.

Thanks for the welcome. Trucks on airride and has a negative camber at its lowest setting. I haven't gotten around to figuring out how some guys maintain a good camber when lowered.

Oh, that makes sense.

With this type of suspension design, it's a tradeoff between high and low, negative and positive.

I can only see a problem if you drive it when lowered. Poor tire wear.
