Title: C10 vs. C20 lowering
Post by: mizozuman2 on October 26, 2014, 11:53:29 pm

I have a few questions.

1. Can C10 parts be used on C20 pickups for suspension?

2. Is a 3/5 drop the same as a 3/5 drop HEIGHT WISE on a C10 vs a C20?

3. Do I have to order special shocks for a SPINDLE drop on the front? or can stock height shocks be used?

Thanks.

I also would like to have an answer to this. ..im about to order early classic c20-c10 2 1/2 drop spindles which swap from 8-5lug also..from what I've researched the trouble is in the lower control arm ball joint being different

the only difference in a c10vs c20 is the frame thickness and its something like 3/64". so you can use ½ton parts on a ¾ton. dont know much about drops but if you're using stock leafs then the ¾ should be higher than a ½ton for weight carrying but thats about all i can help you with.

The ball joint is different.
