Title: ? about front drop
Post by: kustom71 on November 26, 2009, 11:22:26 am

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I have an 86 lwb c-10 and have already installed a bell tech flip kit
Mow Im about ready to do the front but im not sure how much of a drop I will need to get it even with the back
Will it need 3inch spindles only,or drop spindles and springs?
Is there anyway I can figure out what I will need?
And if it needs spindles and springs should I use the biggest drop spindle to keep steering correct or spilt the difference in spindle and spring?
Thanx

Take a tape measure and see how far you want the front to come down.

Did you have some rake before?  The back is generally 2'' higher than the front in stock form.

Guess you can tell I got alot of things on my mind
I sat here all day thinking about it and never even thought of just taking the wheels off and lowering it on the jack while measuring
Thanx
Yes It did have a slight rake I will try measuring tomorrow
Thanx again!!!!!!!!!!!!
