wanna lower 1975 c10 2wd

[C10 Life]

Hi guys iam fairly new to the c10 game but I got a 1975 step side c10.Iam wanting to lower it I might go with a 5/7 or 5/6 or 6/7 all with flip kits drop spindles lowering springs and rear shackles .But I heard the flip kits bounces and not that good.cause I wanna race auto cross with it.So if you guys could give me maybe some pics of your trucks lowerd and have flip kit let me know how they ride and like them !!. Thanks

They ride great. I can't get pics to load, but mine looks like all the rest with a 4-6 drop. Axle over spring is superior to spring over axle at controlling axle wrap and wheel hop.

Alright cool thank you for your help and knowledge did you end up buying a kit ?And if so could I get the name for it and yeah if you can get a picture of your I'd love to see it.cause I like seeing people put there own touch on stuff.

4 link dude.

I wanna do a four link to what's a good one to use or what brand would you recommend?

 

[Old77]

I have hopes to four link my burb in the future. Also would like to do a coil over conversion on the front

 

[C10 Life]

Yeah that would be sweet what's the 4 link brand and coil overs will be nice. I wanna run qa1 double adjustable shocks all the way around but that's pricy !haha

 

[Old77]

Most good coilovers are pricey. Definitely not a cheap conversion.

Here's mine 5 front 7 rear drop, using coils, spindles.....flip kit, hangers and the overload springs removed. Rides great and very responsive (especially since replacing all the rubber with polyurethane.

I have 20x8 up front and 20x10 out back (removed and fabricated custom front inner fenderwells)

I have no idea but I believe if your intent IS a RACE TRACK, a 4 link will serve you well especially with the weight separation of a truck. (front / rear) 67-72? would be likely my first choice because money.

Definitely a 4 link for racing, flip kit on the street works great..

Hey thank guys for all the help and info I think iam going to go with 5/7 drop with c notch and drop spindles and spring and rear flip kit then a little later gonna run cal tracks bars for it I'll post photos of build thanks for all the help

You don't need a C-notch unless you do hangers/shackles or carry heavy loads.
