Picking up an 84 C20 with a 350 in it this weekend. I'd like to be able to have fun with it on the street and be able to pull my car trailer.

What kind of suspension setup should I be looking at here? C10 leafs? or just pull a few from the C20 pack?

Thanks! Happy to be here. Been wanting a Carb V8 RWD platform to have some fun with for a while. Never had anything carb and can't wait to learn about them.

A set of air helper spirings will allow you to taylor your spring rate to the load and maintain ride quality.

Lighter springs and add air bags. Or if it has the longer 56" springs it might be ok enough unloaded
