Hello everybody, started the 4/6 drop today on the 84 C10
2" drop spindles with 2" lowering springs with flip kit in the rear.

Which shocks set-up do I need?

Measure distance to after lowered and get a good quality shock.

With spindles the shock height or length remains the same it is shorter springs that shorten the required shock length. I run 2” spindles and 2” Bell tech springs and after checking mount distance ended up using the stock shocks and it works fine. With a 3” spring you might need shorter shocks but “measure twice buy once”.

Yeah man, Belltech is some good stuff. They've got every length, and excellent quality.
I put them right up there with QA1 stuff. I wish I could afford it, but there's plenty of good stuff out there.
