Title: How low can you go? C10 longbed convert to 4x4
Post by: zieg85 on March 16, 2014, 09:37:21 am

I've been toying with one last build before I hang it up.  Can one achieve close to stock C10 height converting it to a 4x4 in front?  Thanks in advance

They weren't "that" tall from the factory.  How close you wanting it?  With the right tire size and factory spring it would be like your extended. 

My 1T crew is taller then my K5.

Hey Zeig I have a stock 4x4 with 31s on it and it looks like the same height as your red truck there.

And here you can see a stock 3/4ton 2wd next to a 1/2ton 4wd frame....look pretty similar to me.
