Just purchased 77 C10 Scottsdale. Wanting to lower it not slam it. Currently sits 31" in front & 31.5" in the rear. This measurement is at bottom of wheel well. Is it possible to do a 4/4 drop since it sits even now. Not wanting to do any notching of the frame. If so what's best way to go. Thanks.

Leave as is and just drive it. It'd be a shame to mess with it. IMO

Long beds look a mile long lowered. That truck is sweet. You might start with YouTube to aquaint yourself with options.

My advise is keep ALL the OE parts in case you ever want to go back. These trucks are fun, do what you want. You’ll be safe if you don’t cut and cobble. I have kept some hard to find parts off mine just in case I change my mind.

It almost appears as if someone lifted the front to level it. Not often you see a c10 that high in the front. Nice truck btw.

Welcome, and that's a nice rig. Get you a free LMC catalog to get an idea of the stuff available for your truck. Their are many vendors but LMC has a good break down of things. Then shop around.
