Lowering the rear of my 83
« on: December 02, 2016, 11:54:26 am »
Hey!  I have a set of 4 inch lowering blocks in my garage and I want to install them on my C10.  How hard is it to do myself?  Do any of you have lowerong blocks installed and if so, could you post pics?  Also, could someone post pretty much step by step on what I would need to do to do it myself.  Sorry for being extra needy in this post :)

You would have to use a flip kit prior to the drop blocks, it would give you an effective drop of 10-11 inches depending on the flip kit though......Look up a video by milkcrate on youtube, he shows step by step what to do over 3-4 videos.

You won't be able to use those. Get a set of shackles and hangers
