    tonneau covers

    I bought a Truxsport for my 87. It's a rolling cover. I really like it...Good fit, good quality and the price was very reasonable.

    Yes, they are original 15" rally wheels. I've also heard the same thing about the lower control arms. I'd think the factory lower control arms have more of a lip that would rub on the inner wheel.

    Will this combo cause any clearance/rubbing issues?

    I have 275/60-15 on all 4 corners witb 2 1/2" drop spindles up front and 4" lowered leaf springs on the rear. No rubbing but I have aftermarket tubular lower control arms. Not sure about rubbing if I had stock lower control arms. The lower control arms are very close to the inner lip of my...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Upgraded battery cables and installed Optima Yellow Top. The primary battery cables are 1/0 gauge and secondary are 4 gauge. Used military style top posts instead of side posts. Vince from www.custombatterycables.com made them...Kind of pricey, but the quality is top notch.

    Your truck looks about level and looks very nice. From what I've read, the wheel arches on these truck mess with your eyes because they're not level. The front arches are taller than the rear, so when your truck is level, the front still looks taller. I usually measure from the body lines...

    Upgrade Battery Cables

    Does anyone know of a good company that sells quality pre-made battery cables for our trucks? I'm thinking of converting my side post cables to top post and upgrading the cables to a thicker gauge. I've read through and searched the forum and saw where many made their own. That's probably...

    Very nice truck. Once I get my new springs installed to raise the front an inch, I'll probably change around my size and get 255/60 on the front and 275/60 out back. It'll be an inch difference in height.

    Suspension Rebuild/Upgrade & Lowering Questions

    I do like the look, but didn't expect the front to be so low. I guess I didn't realize only 3 1/2" would lower it that much. I know you mentioned that both generations of C-10's use the same coil spring, but I'm curious why POL and other places offer different part numbers and different prices...

    275/60-15 looks good and are 1 inch shorter than stock height, but much wider. I was able to cram 295/50-15 on the rear with stock 8 inch rally wheels.

    Suspension Rebuild/Upgrade & Lowering Questions

    I ordered everything from Performance Online. I verified the part number and yes they did send me coil springs from a 63-72, but like bluex mentioned, all the coil springs are the same. They are only a 1" drop and they're confused why the front is so low. My only solution is to order stock...

    Suspension Rebuild/Upgrade & Lowering Questions

    After doing more research on why my front suspension is so much lower, I discovered the suspension company sent me coil springs from a 63-72 C10, not 73-87. I emailed them pictures and part numbers last night. I'm sure they'll make it right, but it's just frustrating. I suspect once I get the...
