1986 C10 2WD lift?
« on: February 14, 2015, 01:16:52 am »
I am trying to lift my truck more than it currently is. I bought a kit for a 87 c10 that had 1" spacers in the front and 3" blocks in the rear, I had to heat up the spacers and bend them in because they were too wide. I know i can put HD coils in the front to get a little more lift but I would like to get lift spindals. Is there a company that makes them, I have looked and looked and can only find drop spindals.

cant find it right now. fabtech used to make them but they have stopped making them for our trucks. i want to say the way you have to do is is getting a 4x2 lift off a 88-98 then changing parts in your truck to match the 88-98. but i dont know the details its a place to start looking and maybe someone else can chime in

I was going to change the control arms and spindles for 88-98, but i know someone has to make them or a spindle has to fit. I sent Fabtech an email to see if they still make it havent heard back yet.
