Hey guys, new here. Just became the owner of a 78 shortbed and im wanting to get it dropped. Been seeing alot of 5/6ish drops but im wanting low, like ridiculous low. Both my other trucks are bagged (both nissan d21s) and ive got a 4/5 dropped colorado for my daily, but i want to really push it with this c10 static. Anyone have shots of some way lowered ones?

This is 5/6in on 15s, borderline to low, the control arms scrape on my driveway and bad roads on occasion. The back is easy to get crazy low but the front cross member and lower control arms is where you are going to have problems unless you can fab something up.

Mines been cut and leafs removed or cut, not exactly sure but I'm assuming overload leaf has been removed, front coils were cut at least two full coils, still rides great but had to add risers to the front spring to level it out, will be redone the correct way soon, lol

I may have to clip my truck now, a raised bed floor may be in its future as well
