Lowest drop coil springs for c20/c30?

[Ricko1966]

I want the camber look. My neighbor has a ‘75 Ford that’s got the look I want but I know it’s easier to swap that springs on it because it’s an I-beam truck.

That look has nothing to do with spindles,that look is dictated by the position of the upper and lower control arm mounts. Example would be, even a stock height vehicle,use moog problem solver offset mount shafts,set maximum inboard on top control arm, maximum out board on bottom, this is going to suck the top in and kick the bottom out. That's just one example make a spacer for the lower shaft,use a shorter upper control arm or a longer lower. I personally think it's a horrible idea due to the loss of steering/ suspension geometry and the loss of contact patch on the tire for braking.

Just take out the springs altogether. The end result will be about the same as 6" drop springs. In other words: slammed, terrible alignment and rides like a log wagon.

Front wheels…

That truck's air bagged. You can't drive like that, you'll be replacing front tires every 100mi. That truck is just parked that way, the wheels straighten out when he "airs up" to drive

So it’s probably not possible to achieve this look with the suspension square body’s have then… as I said in an earlier post, my neighbor has a Ford with this look, no bags, daily driver, and it works just fine. I guess it’s because of the twin I-beams ford has

Ford's twin I beam setup eats tires. When the ride hight is changed, they eat tires even more. Many Ford lovers are in denial and say it's a good suspension design, but even more people will agree that it's not "just fine".

Just say it @bucket IT'S CRAP

Twin I beams are so great that you need to bend them to align them…

Ford people love to tout how heavy duty and tough twin I beams are, little do they know that GM’s used a massive girder beam.

Of course, they doubled down with the twin traction beam front axles..

Now I will say that the twin I beam design is good for pre-runners, but 99.5% of 2wd ferds ain’t no pre-runner.

He may drive it every day but I promise you he's replacing tires on the regular. With our style suspension, the only way to achieve that is to do custom suspension, whether it's custom control arms or an air bag setup but it absolutely will not drive well

I still have some of the iron we used to bend them DAMN things
