Directions for rear drop
« on: January 15, 2011, 07:45:11 pm »
Im trying to find directions to drop the rear of my 81 C10 Long Bed. Me and my old man bought the kit when I was 13 to work on the truck as a father/son project that never really took off. In the past 8 years we have lost the directions for the kit and I was wondering if anyone had them. Its for the Shackle/Hanger drop kit, not sure which company but figured they would all be about the same due to all the mass produced parts being similar.
if your gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

 You might start be checking the various manufacturers website to see if they have any files to download. Also take a look at magazine websites. They might have tech articles that apply.

I don't have any printed directions, but I'm sure we could walk you through it if you need us to.

To put the shackle hangers on you need to take the leaf springs out (remove the rearend, brake lines etc) remove the front hanger and bolt on the new one remove the rear shackle and replace it and then put all the spring and axle back.

Post pics and we can walk you through it.
